Nearly two years in the making, Mad Beach Craft Brewing Company will premiere its beers, meads and ciders from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 31.

With a more than 7,000-square-foot upstairs building at 12945 Village Blvd. in Madeira Beach, the brewery's masquerade-themed Brew Year's Eve will function as its beverage release party.

Guests can expect brews like amber and Belgian ales, IPAs and what Mad Beach Brewing, owned by the Florida Winery's Matthew Powers, calls beach ales, beers that drinkers will want to tote around in the Florida heat.

A 140-inch LED wall will air the annual ball drop at midnight as DJ Da Beav and Infinite Skillz supply the live tuneage. Each ticket purchase comes with a complimentary drink, party favors, a cider toast and a pizza smorgasbord after the countdown.

Communal tables, games like cornhole, air hockey, pool and more, a U-shaped bar and a dog-friendly balcony are additional features of the brewery.
