Tampa

Back from another bachelor party, this one was in Tampa. Less beer centric than the party I went to in Westchester two weeks ago but fun nonetheless. I did have the chance to stop by Tampa Brewing Company in Ybor city for their sampler platter. Certainly worth checking out if you ever find yourself in Tampa. They had all the classic styles: IPA, stout, porter, barleywine pale ale...but also a rye, hopped up red and a cask IPA. What they lacked in innovation they made up for with execution. These beers were all great examples of their styles and very enjoyable. I'll take a well brewed pale ale over a poorly balanced Imperial something or other any day.

If you find yourself in Tampa and have time to do some serious beer hunting. Check out these breweries.

And, as a correction for my previous post. I mentioned the Terrapin Brew Pub in Atlanta's airport. I was wrong - after being delayed for several hours on Sunday in Atlanta I can confirm that it is a Sweetwater Brew Pub.
