TAMPA, FL — Just in time for summer, City Brew Tours Tampa has launched in Tampa Bay, bringing its variety of all-inclusive, behind-the-scenes educational tasting tours to one of the top craft beer scenes in the country.
City Brew Tours Tampa is now offering an up-close look at some of Tampa Bay’s most popular and nationally celebrated breweries, including BarrieHaus Beer Co., Bastet Brewing, Big Storm Brewing, Rock Brothers Brewing, Cigar City Brewing and Southern Brewing & Winery, with more breweries set to join the tour.
“Tampa is home to more than 100 breweries, and we’re excited to offer a brewery tour experience that combines humor, history, education, food, transportation and, of course plenty of top-notch beer selections from some of the city’s finest brewers,” said Alan Sandler, CBT Tampa’s managing partner. “More than just a tasting tour, City Brew Tours Tampa is an immersive experience and great new way to experience Tampa Bay and its booming craft brew culture.”
