A nice article in the Saint Petersburg Times yesterday about local breweries and the success that they are having. You can read it online here. Cigar City Brewery (Tampa’s first and only microbrewery) is really the main focus of the article. Check out this video about them: I picked up a container of beer from CCB [...]
Seasons greeting! I hope everyone out there is doing well and drinking lots of good beer. Yes, this blog has been quiet as I have been quite busy with other thing leaving me with zero time to write. I hope to change that soon. Adam
Without much thought, I have decided to add Total Wine & More to my Ultimate Tampa Bay area beer guide. Any place where I can purchase Boulder Beer’s Hazed & Infused (one of my favorite breweries) for only $6.99, certainly deserves to be on the list. Aside from that, they have a very large selection [...]
I was so excited that I had to post this. In fact, I think that I will use this post to keep a running list of what is appearing in stores as well as what I have sampled. Most will be American microbrews but on occasion, I may pick up an English Ale or two. [...]

OK we have all heard the expression “don’t knock it ’till you try it”, but beer brewed with ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, oregano and basil just doesn’t sound that great to me. I also understand that there is a market for everything and sometimes people are just looking for something different. You have to [...]
This evening, my wife and I were able to enjoy a few hours out away from our 6 month old. We headed to DTSP (Downtown Saint Petersburg) to grab a bite to eat and have a few drinks. I have had the hankering for some fish tacos – the best in town can be found [...]
“Peanuts, popcorn, Coca-Cola – Budweiser”! Those were the words that I remember the vendors yelling at Al Lang Field in Saint Petersburg. When I was younger, I would often go there to watch the minor league Cardinals baseball team play ball. At the time, I was too young to drink beer. It is probably a [...]
Thats right, my favorite neighborhood supermarket Publix, is now carrying select American craft microbrews in some of their stores in the Tampa Bay area. Over the course of the next few weeks, I will be providing some detailed reports on the tasty brews that are now populating the shelf of my neighborhood supermarket. Kudos to [...]
