As of press time, Late Start Brewery still had the lid on specifics regarding the bottle release happening in celebration of its one-year anniversary at Pour House Tampa (although Angry Chair, Cigar City and Magnanimous Brewing are all pouring stout variants at the gig).

That shouldn’t stop Bay area craft brew fans from flocking to the Channelside spot, however, as Late Start welcomes two of our favorite food vendors — Big Red BBQ and Flavor Deluxx — to sling noms while a DJ rocks yacht-rock and hip-hop. It’s probably going to be hot outside, so drink a water in between servings of Late Start’s famous Fruited Cocktail Berliner Slushy (pictured).

Parking (free for two hours) is available in the garage, but ridesharing is encouraged since you’ll be drinking.

Sat. Aug. 17. 12 p.m. No cover. Pour House at Channelside, 1208 E. Kennedy Blvd. No. 112, Tampa. INFO.
