Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC), one of the oldest breweries in the state of Florida posted this morning that the brewery will join the list of Florida craft breweries sending beer outside of the Sunshine State.
From Tampa Bay Brewing Company:
HELLO BOSTON! – We’ve got some pretty damn exciting news to share. Before the end of August you’ll be able to find us on tap and in package in select locations. Yup, you read that right.. Seems Reef Donkey can fly, who knew?!
This is our first foray out of our home state of Florida, and we can’t be happier to bring a selection of our beers to a few premium retailers around metro Boston. Huge thanks to our friends at @nsdistro for the incredible help with this initial test away from home!
Why Boston? Well we have a lot of friends in the local brewing community and have long witnessed the connection between Florida and Massachusetts (in fact greater New England and NY for that matter). Now we can respond “yes” to at least a few of those weekly inquiries.
What beers you ask? Well, Reef Donkey of course, but in our first limited shipment you’ll also find our new Hop Silo 7 hazy DDH pale ale (Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe) brewed in collaboration with our south Florida friends from @invasivespeciesbrewing, and likely a few other limited edition beers, like our award-winning Gourds Gone Wild.
Many more details to come, so please stay tuned! One thing we can share is that THE very first tap event will be held with our close friends at @almanove , Chef Paul Wahlberg’s waterfront restaurant in Hingham Shipyard, just steps from the @mbtapics ferry to Rowe’s and Long Wharves.
