Help us crown Tampa Bay's best brewery
Just in time for Beer Week, we're looking to crown Tampa Bay's best brewery.
Why it matters: Tampa Bay is lucky to have dozens of amazing breweries, from giants like Cigar City to boutique spots like Ybor's Sky Puppy.
Our friends over at Creative Loafing have a pretty exhaustive list here, if you're interested.
State of play: There are so many, in fact, that narrowing down the list to a 16-slot bracket was maybe the hardest thing we've ever done. (We expect a Pulitzer in the mail any day now.)
We came up with this list based on reader responses to last week's callout, geographic variety and Kathryn's experiences sipping brews around Tampa Bay. (Yacob isn't much of a beer guy — feel free to make fun of him.)
We paired breweries by location, profile and overall vibes. It's not a perfect science, OK?!
Your favorite brewery may not be included. If you didn't respond to our callout, sorry not sorry. If you did, next pint's on us.
Vote below!
The bracket will continue all week, with the grand finale on Friday.
And as a fun bonus, Yacob and Kathryn will pick a night in the coming weeks to hang out at the winning brewery — and we'd love for you all to join us!
Details to come. Stay tuned.
