The Cigar City Brewpub brewer Tim Ogen took home three medals this weekend in the Best Florida Beer Competition. As busy as he has been both creatively and laboriously, it is no surprise that Ogden won medals, as he has been kicking out the liquid jams since the CCB Brewpub brought its system online. With added tanks in the pub, Ogden will be able to showcase more of his beer, but for now, Tampa Bay Beer Week is providing Ogden with quite a creative canvas.
Here is the CCB Brewpub‘s contribution to Tampa Bay Beer Week:
