The Wild Rover Brewery's British-style beer and cask ales can now be found in Tampa.
Founded by father-and-son duo Derek and Ricky Wells in Odessa, the 3-year-old craft brewery has been working on its larger location at 13921 Lynmar Blvd. since Feb. 1. The doors of The Wild Rover's new Westchase facility, featuring a 15-barrel brewing system, opened last month, and its official grand reopening is planned for 10 a.m. Oct. 8.
Beers such as Hoplifters of the World (an American pale ale) and Let it E.S.B accompany an English pub menu of dishes — steak and ale pie, Scotch egg and chicken curry among them — for lunch and dinner. The taproom, which carries The Wild Rover's same welcoming feel, has three bars, including one with TVs that are dedicated to sports games.
During the grand reopening, special beer releases, food and live music will be highlighted.
