Description

What if everything your family built was taken from you at gunpoint by the very country you called home?

In this podcast episode of The Big Dawgs: with Manning Sumner, guest Manny Portuondo, the great-great-grandson of Federico Kohly whose family founded Cuba’s oldest brewery Cervecería La Tropical, shares his remarkable entrepreneurial story. This Cuban cultural icon was seized by the Castro regime in 1960.

For the past 27 years Manny Portuondo has been on a mission to reclaim that lost legacy and revive La Tropical making history once again, this time in Miami.

Now Cervecería La Tropical, Cuba’s oldest brewery, is Miami’s youngest.
