According to their blog, Cigar City Brewing's tasting room is now open for business. Cigar City, Tampa's only microbrewery, has been making beer for a few months but had delays in getting their brewery tasting room ready. I haven't had any of their beers yet, but have heard very good things.
It is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. They're at 3924 W. Spruce St. Suite A, Tampa, FL 33612. The phone number is (813) 348-6363, Ext. 206.
You can buy growlers at the tasting room.
What's a growler?
It's a glass jug that a brewery fills with beer from the tap. In Florida they must be 32 ounces or less or 128 ounces or more. Traditional growlers in other states are 64 ounces, which are illegal in Florida. Growlers are pretty rare here.
A growler is great for parties. The downside is each time you open it you lose carbonation. They're good for a day or two before going flat.
