Each spring, Tampa Bay brewers celebrate the best our local craft beer industry has to offer during Tampa Bay Beer Week, but beer lovers can get a little taste of that celebration this weekend in St. Pete.
Tampa Bay Beer Week organizers and the Tampa Bay Brewer’s Alliance host a “Halfway There” party at
The Coliseum, featuring dozens of breweries from every corner of the Sunshine State. Just a handful of participating breweries include local heavy hitters like Magnanimous, Woven Water, King State, and Green Bench alongside out-of-towners like Miami’s Tripping Animals, Dade City Brew House and Pompano Beach-based Odd Breed Wild Ale.
Tickets to this beer-centric gig include unlimited samples from 60-plus breweries, as well as access to a few food trucks (although the price of food isn’t included). There’s also an afternoon Tampa Bay Rays game happening just a few blocks away that day, and “Halfway There” would certainly make one hell of a pregame.
According to its organizers, this weekend’s party is their primary fundraiser—“attendance is the best way to help us make TBBW bigger and better each year.”
Tickets to Halfway There: A Celebration of Beer on Saturday, Aug. 26 at The Coliseum in St. Petersburg start at $55.
