Coppertail Brewing to open new tasting room this week

This one has been a long time in the making. Tampa’s newest craft brewery has been operating out of a tasting room in the offices of their brewery for months now, all the while with a promise of a glorious tasting room to open soon. It seems that “soon” will be just in time for Tampa Bay Beer Week 2015.

This Friday, March 6th, Coppertail Brewing will open doors to their tasting room to the public for the first time ever at 6pm. Having seen the marvels of this tasting room, it is safe to say that this one will be the talk of the town on Saturday. However, like many marvels of the craft beer world, words do not do it justice, it must be seen to be believed.

Congratulations to the crew at Coppertail.

The Coppertail Brewery and new tasting room is located across the street from IKEA at 2601 East 2nd Avenue in Tampa.

Grayton Beer Company opens new tap room

Press Release:

Located in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., Grayton Beer Company is pleased to announce the completion of the brewery’s new taproom, which opened on Nov. 21. Taproom hours will vary until January, and updates can be found on graytonbeer.com or the brewery’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. A grand opening event will be announced in the coming weeks.

Currently open to the public, the taproom boasts a 40-ft. bar made of recycled wood pallets and 25 taps where customers can enjoy all of Grayton’s unique brews. This includes Grayton’s specialty small-batch beers that are exclusively available in the taproom. The bar will also feature guest taps for other craft beers as well as collaboration beers between Grayton and other local craft breweries.

“Opening a taproom at the brewery has always been part of the vision for us at Grayton Beer Company,” says Jamey Price, president of Grayton Beer Company. “We’re really excited for people to have the opportunity to come experience how we make our beer, meet the characters who brew it and then enjoy the beer itself.”

The taproom is the newest upgrade to Grayton’s 30-barrel brewhouse located at 217 Serenoa Road in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. The 30,000 sq.-ft. brewery features a brand new equipment from Allied Beverage Tank (ABT), a Markyl 125 bottles-per-minute bottling line, a state-of-the-art lab run by a Harvard Ph.D. and over 10,000 barrels of annual production capacity.

“Fortunately the demand for our beer has been so high that we’ve never stopped brewing which delayed the taproom opening,” says Price. “Finally being able to add this new element to the experience of Grayton beer is a great milestone for us.”
