Like everything in Gainesville, Swamphead is named for something UF themed. To paraphrase Leslie Knope, it’s a stupid little hog town. I suspect because it’s in the middle of Florida, right off the interstate and the crossroads of a couple old FL highways, particularly 441, makes it just another cow town, except for that school that all the CFCC grads can get into.
Okay, that’s not fair. But it is fair to say that Gainesville is a pure college town, and Swamphead Brewery is a first rate brewery. They were ahead of the craft beer boom, especially in FL where the laws discouraged micro brews.
