About Barley Mow Brewing Company
It all started with the desire to bring aggressive and interesting beers to 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 was 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.
