World of Beer Opening at Times Forum
This will be the first WOB to open in an arena setting, officials say, and will open today before the Bruno Mars concert at the Forum.

The latest World of Beer location in Tampa Bay won't be tucked inside a shopping plaza or down the street from your favorite mall.
Officials today announced the opening of the chain's first arena location - and 23rd in the state - at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. The WOB at the Forum , 401 Channelside Drive, will offer 10 different beers on tap - and canned beer, too - on the lower level.
Founded in Tampa in 2007, WOB's opening lineup will include Goose Island Honkers, Pilsner Urquell, Cigar City Jai Alai and other options for beer drinkers. Craft cocktails and wine will also be available.
Beth Weber Tierney, director of marketing for World of Beer, said they "have chosen to be involved with the Tampa Bay Times Forum so that we can spread WOB Culture to fans everywhere."
