If you weren't onboard the Traveling Beer Brunch on Sunday you missed a great time. The group enjoyed a specialty food item paired with a Brew Bus beer at three awesome brunch spots in the Tampa area. 

Jacksonville and Tampa Bay faceoff on Sunday, October 11th. Don't miss your chance for a one of a kind transportation experience to the game from Jacksonville. We hit the road early with pickup locations at Engine 15 Brewing Co. and Veterans United Craft Brewery. When we arrive in Tampa lunch provided by Cigar City Brewpub will be served at Cigar City Brewing before the game. As always, Brew Bus Beer will be served onboard. The itinerary is as follows:

Brewery dogs are the best dogs. Meet Maddie, our new office puppy. She's a 10 week old doberman mix. Favorite beer? Rollin Dirty.

You spoke and we listened. Since The Brew Bus - South Florida launched in February, all of our public tours have used Funky Buddha Brewery in Oakland Park as the starting and ending point. The beer scene here has grown (and spread) so much that we needed to add another departure location a half hour north in Delray Beach. 

On Sunday August 30th the Local Loop will be slightly changed since Coppertail Brewing will be closed for their 1 year anniversary. The new schedule is as follows:

At Brew Bus we're all about good beer and good times. On all of our tours, Drivers and Beer-Tenders entertain passengers as we show them our amazing local beer scene. Our Drivers are responsible for the safe transportation and arrival of passengers. Knowledge of craft beer and the ability to pick a killer playlist a plus.

The citrus and pine characteristics of Last Stop make it an awesome food beer. It goes great with light fare like fish tacos or spicy items like Thai food or chicken wings. It also makes a great addition to a lot of recipes. Most beer batter recipes call for cheap beer but in the Brew Bus kitchen we don't believe in cooking with beer we wouldn't drink on its own. Try this IPA-battered asparagus recipe with a cilantro-lime dipping sauce.

Maybe we're a little biased, but we love craft beer in cans. We see it as the future go-to for beer across world. They can go anywhere, get cold in minutes, keep the beer sheltered from light, stack easily for shipping/storing, and won't shatter if you it drop it. When it came to selecting our own packaging, cans were an easy choice. 

Starting on Sunday, August 16th our Local Loop in Ybor and Seminole Heights will have a slightly different order of stops. Route now begins at Tampa Bay Brewing Company followed by Coppertail Brewing Co., Southern Brewing and Winemaking, Ella's Americana Folk Art Café, Angry Chair Brewing Co., and The Independent.

Last Stop IPA beer soap is now available in our store for only $5 a bar. Handmade in Tampa by Indigo Bee Soap, they actually put our beer in the soap.

We already knew that Are Wheat There Yet is a world class beer and now we have the hardware to prove it. 

July is hot and rainy here in Florida but that didn't stop our awesome fans from taking part in our #WheresMyKoozie challenge.
