Local beer enthusiasts joined us in kicking off Tampa Bay Beer Week and celebrating the release of Creative Loafing's Beer Issue at Meet The Brewers, where we featured 20 of Tampa Bay's very own brewers at Morean Arts Center for Clay!

Your favorite brewers were on-site sampling and mingling with an intimate crowd—a unique opportunity for beer lovers to sip on 40+ local brews while rubbing elbows with the minds behind them! And did we mention our "samples" were 10-ounce pours?! You chose the way you wanted to try the beer options—a full 10-ounce pour, just a taste, or whatever your beer-loving heart desired!
