Tampa Bay Beer Week is a mere two weeks away, and the events are starting to come into focus.

The number of events vary depending on the brewery, but the awesomeness is the uniting factor: each brewery is trying to show Tampa Bay what they are about and the best beers that they produce.

In Saint Petersburg, Green Bench Brewing Company has the only oak foeder (fermentation vessel) in Florida, and they are going to take it for a (proverbial) ride. Green Bench is bringing in other beers fermented in oak in hopes of highlighting the flavors of oak fermented beers.

The name of the event is Foeder for Thought, and it will be on Friday March 7th from 4pm until 11pm at Green Bench. The brewery will be pouring beers from Anchorage, Crooked Stave, Allagash, Cigar City, 7venth Sun, and Green Bench.

For more information, see Green Bench’s event page. Green Bench is located at 1133 Baum Avenue North in Saint Petersburg.
