The folks at Dunedin Brewery have long been on the front lines of the downtown’s fight to preserve any semblance of its vibrant nightlife which is once again under attack by folks who believe the city’s outdoor dining scene should more or less shut down after 11 p.m. (The city manager clarified the municipality’s ordinance recently, and will consider officially codifying an updated ordinance at a July 22 planning meeting and again at an Aug. 1 commission meeting.)

For now though, DunBrew is taking a breath to celebrate 28 turns around the sun. Its anniversary this weekend features special beers on tap (including ALS Session IPA, Crimson Mole) and a pop-up from Tampa Bay’s most interesting hot dog slingers (Hazmat Hotdogs, who present interesting topping combos like cream cheese & peach relish or fluff & spice chili alongside more traditional offerings).

Beer movies will also screen in the adjacent Moon Tower venue while Celtic music trio Clover’s Revenge provides a self-described “dangerous intersection of acoustic pub music & Celtic punk rock.” If that’s not your thing, a silent disco hosted by 2-Cheese & DunDun727 will also be on site.

Anyone in a kilt gets $1 off their brew, naturally.

There’s no cover for the Dunedin Brewery 28th Anniversary Celebration happening Saturday, July 20.
