Tampa Bay Brewing Company is looking for another banner year. After opening their new Westchase production facility in 2015, the stalwart craft brewery is looking to break in January with a bottle release. This time, they are releasing Useppa Raging IPA in 22oz bottles in celebration of Tampa’s Gasparilla Festival.

From Tampa Bay Brewing Company:

It’s officially 2016, which means a new year of fun and exciting things to share with you about the Tampa Bay Brewing Company!

Useppa Raging IPA Jose Gaspar took what his heart desired but couldn’t force a princess named Useppa to desire him. Driven by unrequited love and bitterness, Gasparilla killed her in a fit of rage. Out of remorse, he buried her body on an island we call Useppa to this day. Useppa Raging IPA embodies the myth with delicate layers of floral notes, hints of the tropics, a raging amount of hoppiness and finished on rum barrel oak. Enjoy her immediately and remorse once she’s gone.
CHEERS!!!
Useppa releases on Gasparilla, January 30 at 9 a.m. at the Ybor Brewpub. Limit two bottles per person. Only 350 bottles available!

This news follows a Facebook post where TBBC has sold the large fermenters out of the Ybor City Brewpub and has plans to install smaller ones and a bottling line for unique bottle releases.

Again, TBBC says: “The last of our large Fermenters are out of the Ybor Brewpub! We are in the process of ordering more 10 bbl (smaller) Fermenters and plan to install a small bottling line to provide more 1 off 22oz. Bombers!!”

Look for more exciting changes and releases from Tampa Bay Brewing Ybor City at 1600 East 9th Avenue and Tampa Bay Brewing Company Westchase at 13937 Monroe Business Park.
