Where will you see Florida Beer News?
We have committed to have someone out to write about the anchor events of Tampa Bay Beer Week like the Florida Brewers Guild Festival, Brewers Ball, Barrel-aged Day at Cycle Brewing, and The Dark Embrace Invitational. If you see someone with a Florida Beer News shirt, feel free to say hi. We will endeavor to provide the best coverage possible unfortunately, work and travel commitments prevent the small team from covering more events.
Remember: many events are outdoors! I have recently published some helpful reminders in the form of an Outdoor Beer Festival Survival Guide. Click on the link for a few suggestions to better enjoy outdoor Florida events.
HAPPY TAMPA BAY BEER WEEK!
