Start your Saturday off the way it was intended — with a little breakfast and a lot of beer. The Beer Breakfast, a party with a mission, is back for its 14th year from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 12.
Over the years, the growing booze-drinking, doughnut-eating, Jenga-playing event, hosted at downtown St. Pete's Mandarin Hide, has raised funds for local charities that include Tampa Bay Watch, the Children's Dream Fund and Suncoast Hospice. This time around, the breakfast will revisit its 2013 charity of choice, Florida West Ballet.
"A Beer Breakfast gathering is a place to be yourself, have some fun and do good in your community," founder Jared Repka said in a news release.
Guests can expect returning staples like the Bloody Mary bar and more. The chance to bid on a two-day, one-night stay at St. Pete Beach's Sirata Beach Resort will also be a new addition.
