Tampa Bay Beer Week is almost a wrap, and one of its most ridiculous events is a really good reason to be hungover at work next Thursday. The Brewery Battle of the Bands invites tune-loving, mostly musically-inclined brewery employees to trade suds for songs in one of the only battles of the bands worth caring about. Some bands are actually good (read: Dunedin Brewery, Coppertail), and some are… better when you’re five beers deep. Either way, it’s a great time, and your $5 cover goes towards music education programs.
Wed. March 11, 5 p.m. $5. Crowbar, 1812 N. 17th St., Ybor City. 5 p.m. tampabaybeerweek.com
