Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) has a lot to celebrate after a win in the coveted American Pale Ale category at the Great American Beer Festival. This medal is one of the most coveted at the festival and Reef Donkey won out over 144 other entrants in that category. Tampa Bay Brewing Company has hinted that Reef Donkey will get its day in the sun, “Stay tuned for details of our Reef Donkey APA Bronze Medal Party! Happening 1/23 at our Ybor location! Lots of beer, giveaways and other celebratory activities!”
In the meantime, at the Ybor City Pub, the beer is flowing and seasonals are a going:

In addition to Ole Hop Hoarder, TBBC is also featuring some new and returning beers, including a Single Malt And Single Hop (or SMASH beer), which is rarely seen in Ybor City. “Nelson Sauvin SMaSH, Phantom Dark Ale, Breeze Under the Kilt Scotch Ale (Colab brew with Big Storm and Southern Brewing) and Limited Edition Last Days of Summer Wheat.”
