It’s been almost a full year since longtime Seminole Heights residents Kendra and Mike Conze opened the doors of their long-awaited brewery at 5023 N Florida Ave., and the couple hosts a day-long celebration filled with good food, exclusive beer releases, live music and free-to-play arcade games courtesy of Lowry Parcade for Common Dialect’s first “beer-thday” this weekend.

Tampa-based food truck Trash Panda will be slinging gimbap and other Korean treats all day-long, while musicians like Jamie McElman, Lauris Vidal and Perception turn the brewery’s kid and pet-friendly patio into a temporary music venue.

And for all of the craft beer enthusiasts out there, Common Dialect also drops a special 11% Double Hazy Triple IPA collab with Cigar City Brewery, alongside an 8% Double West Coast IPA collab with Coppertail Brewing Co. Both brews are available on draft and in 4-packs.

“Let’s raise our glasses to the incredible journey we’ve had so far, to the laughter, the clinking of mugs, and the friendships and conversations,” the Conzes write on social media. “Thank you for making Common Dialect Beerworks a home away from home.”

There’s no cover for Common Dialect’s 1st anniversary party, happening from noon-midnight on Saturday, Jan. 13.
