Tampa Bay Brewing Company brings back Bad A** Beer Fest

In 2014, Tampa Bay Brewing Company’s Bad A** Beer Fest celebrated the future- a new production brewery, a young canning program, and an unforeseeable Bronze Medal Win at the Great American Beer Festival. There was so much to celebrate. Fast forward one year to the near completion of TBBC’s new brewing facility and there is again, much to revel over.

Enter the second annual Bad A** Beer Fest, TBBC’s fest that celebrates Tampa Bay Beer as much as the eponymous brewery.

Seven Tampa Bay breweries team up for a series of beers released this Saturday

Recently Southern Brewing & Winemaking (Southern) hosted a collaboration brew day in honor of the Bad A** Beerfest put on by Tampa Bay Brewing Company. Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) teamed up with Southern, Cigar City Brewpub, Barley Mow, Coppertail, Green Bench, and Big Storm to brew six recipes that will be released at the Bad A** Beerfest on June 28th. All six brews will be on tap together under one tent at the festival.

The actual brewing took place at Southern on Friday, June 6th. Craft beer fans were
invited to come hang out in the Southern biergarten and watch the brewing process. Southern was chosen as the brewday location due to the brewery’s unique small
batch set-up that allows for six batches to be brewed at the same time.

The six collaborations brewed for the festival include:

TBBC and Cigar City Brewpub: Weizenbock
TBBC and Barley Mow: Big IPA
TBBC and Coppertail: Saison
TBBC and Green Bench: Belgian Dubbel
TBBC and Big Storm: Smoked Scotch Ale

For the final brew, TBBC, CCB Brewpub, Barley Mow, Coppertail, Greenbench, Big
Storm, and Southern all independently chose some malt and hops and threw them
together for a unique and surprising amalgam brew.

Southern was involved with all of brews that day, so one keg of each of the beers
brewed for the festival will also be available on tap in the Southern taproom later
this month.
