Press Release: Barley Mow Brewing hosts their last anniversary party in the original Barley Mow tavern.
WHAT: “4 MOW YEARS” Barley Mow Anniversary Party
WHERE: 518 West Bay Drive Largo, FL 33770
WHEN: Saturday July 23rd Noon – 10PM
It all started with the desire to bring aggressive and interesting beers to the the Tampa Bay area. Jay and Colleen Dingman set out to create an atmosphere that was friendly, communal, and open to all. “It’s all about great beer for everyone,” said Colleen Dingman. This husband and wife team opened in Largo, FL, noticing the lack of a local brewery in a very large populated area that is primed for a boom. With the love of art, folklore, and literature they set out to make brands that were a little darker and enticing rather than focus on the Florida Sunshine or coast. “This opens our brands up to have a life and story of their own and be larger than a geographical or regional area, it also has helped set us apart amongst the growing craft beer scene in FL”, said owner Jay Dingman.
Saturday July 23rd marks the 4th Anniversary of Barley Mow Brewing Company, and the last time they will be hosting the event at their current location in Largo. By next year they will be in a brand new location. The party will run from noon until 8pm. There will be over 50 different Barley Mow brews pouring all day ranging from their Barrel Aged Unkindness Black Ale to their Calliope Tart Cherry – Lemon Shandy.
This event is family and dog friendly. The day will also include live music from local artists including Impulse, The Trigger City Trio and the All Brewer Band The Fermenters. Food from Out of the Pot Mobile Eatery, Charlie Tulum’s Dos Tacos food truck, and Lolo Ono Hawaiian Shaved Ice. Along with special guests from Hopcloth, the Pinellas Shriners, and the Pinellas Chocolate Company, to name a few.
