The story behind the name

The Sunshine State Story

Named for Sara Fix — an Ironman triathlete who refused to let cancer write her ending.

★ A toast to Sara's badassery

Sara Fix · Ironman World Championship
Sara Fix · Ironman World Championship
01

The Powerhouse

Sara Fix is a mom of three, a small-business owner, and one of the most decorated amateur triathletes in the country — 28 Ironman races, a 7th-place finish at the Kona World Championship, and back-to-back All-American honors.
02

The World Flipped

At the 2021 Augusta Ironman she got winded in the swim and had to be pulled from the water — her first-ever DNF. The tests that followed found stage-three cancer. A 12-hour surgery and months of chemo came next.
03

She Flipped A Switch

After sinking into the hardest months of her life, a single phone call with an old friend about mindset changed everything. She let go of what she couldn't control, focused on what she could — and started training again, mid-treatment.
“I just focused on what I could control.” — Sara Fix
04

Back In The Sunshine State

In late 2022, still in the fight, Sara finished and placed in the Florida Ironman. We named this beer after her — and the Sunshine State where she did it. A toast to the kind of badassery that simply refuses to quit.
