Coppertail Brewing, Tampa’s lovable up-and-comers, has just posted a few details on how the brewery’s next few months will be shaping up:

*By the end of the month we hope to have the new brewery totally installed and ready for testing.

*In early May we’ll test the system and do some brews with water and cleaners. Also in May we hope to do some test brews with actual beer to see how the recipes are scaling up to the big system.

*We expect to open our temporary tasting room and start shipping draft beer to local bars in June / July.

*We plan to have bottled beer on shelves and open our real tasting room in September / October.

*Will there be a grand opening party? and when is it? Yes!!! We’ll announce something here, on Facebook and Twitter, as soon as we know.

*There will be more free pop-up tastings.

*Coppertail will be pouring at Spring Hops Festival.

Until then, keep a weather eye on the horizon because there’s a Coppertail out there in Tampa Bay.
