Beer Reviews: Keep Your Opinion to Yourself

Disclaimber: My assiness might come out in this blog posting but so be it. This past weekend I was hanging out with Randy, aka the brewer and owner of Three Palms Brewing, the newest brewery to come to the Tampa area.  I was helping him out with a little painting in hopes of getting his [...]

Bells’ Hopslam and Wedding Dresses

I was listening to a podcast recently, Planet Money, and they were talking about how certain situations dictate the cost of an item.  In particular, they were talking about wedding dresses.  Wedding dresses range from $500 to $100,000 depending on where you go and how much you want to spend.  But in reality, the cost [...]

Q & A with Pour House Tampa Owner

I realize that I’ve been a little slack with my posts recently.  Its not been intentional.  50 hour work weeks blow.  But on the bright side, I’m hoping to have the shanty paid off in two years!!  For you reading enjoyment, here’s a Q & A with James Vrabel, part owner of the Pour House [...]

Pilgrimage to Swamp Head Brewery

Living in Tampa, arguably the craft beer mecca of Florida, I rarely have the need to go outside of Tampa for local beer.  There are more breweries in Tampa than you can shake a stick at. However, Swamp Head Brewery has been on my list of must hits for a while.  The only problem was [...]

Brewpub Review: The Pour House at Grand Central

When you’re into craft brews like I am, you’re bound and determined to hear about every last brewery and brewpub.  I don’t remember exactly how I found out about the [...]

Tap Tap…Imbibe

I’ve once again I found bliss in my quest for beer.  As I said before, it’s hard to find restaurants whose food is as good as their beer.  Lake Nona Tap Room is just that place. Before we relocated to the other side of the Florida–the better side–I worked in the Lake Nona area of [...]

Peg’s Cantina & Brew Pub

Remember that post about jazz a few days ago.  Well, I also get a little giddy when I get to try a new brewery.  Those are few and far between in Florida, so when it happens it’s real treat. Some friends and I went to Pass-a-Grille Beach on the Fourth of July.  The beach wasn’t [...]

Cigar City Pimped in Food & Wine

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but there is a great brewery in Tampa called Cigar City.  Oddly enough it doesn’t have anything to do with cigars.  There are no cigars to be found on the property unless you bring your own. I’ve been going to Cigar City for a few months now.  [...]
