I dropped by the Beverage Castle on 56th Street in the Temple Terrace area of Tampa today to pick up up some Abita Restoration Ale and Rogue Dead Guy and was surprised to see that the drive-thru section has been enclosed (not that I intended to "drive thru", but had always thought it was a novel concept). But that was just the first of many surprises in store for me.
The now-enclosed section joins the remodeled interior, which was once just a large room, jumbled floor to ceiling with imported and craft beers, with billowy white and light-blue tinged insulated foam walls and ceiling (which always made me laugh as the room was not refrigerated, just had a simulated "chilly" look). In the new space, one entire wall is refrigeration for cold beer. The rest of the store now has neatly arranged shelving to display the hundreds of craft and imported beers that they sell, as well as wine.
