On a typical Saturday morning, Johnathan Wakefield can be found hoisting kegs out front of his brewery, J. Wakefield Brewing Co., in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood.

While it’s not a brew day, his efforts are still in pursuit of beer.
“We use kegs and grain bags in our workouts, since those are the heaviest items in the brewery,” says Wakefield of his brewery’s weekly group boot camps, which are followed by pints in the taproom. Hosted by Triple Threat Fitness or CrossFit Wynwood, the classes take place in the parking lot and incorporate sixtel and half-barrel kegs (empty or filled with varying amounts of water for increased difficulty) and 55-pound sacks of malt.
