Pics from the Past
Photos from our 2010 Tampa Beer Safari Weekend
Last month we wrote about the changes and growth of the industry over the last 10 years. This month we want to share some photos from back then. Take a look at some places you may have visited in more recent times, you might be surprised at how much or in some cases, how little, things have changed!

 Hmm, did they change the spelling of Hunahpu’s since 2010? Looks like the person who chalked this board spelled it their own way… and back then it was only $20 for a 750ml bottle! |

 Our tour at Saint Somewhere Brewing turned out to be during bottling day! Pretty exciting! |

 guests filled their own tasters from the private tap in Bob Sylvester’s office. |
 Bottling day required a lot of hands on work from a slew of volunteers. Think about that next time you are checking out the bottle of your favorite Saint Somewhere brew! |

Beer Paired Dinner at Flemings Steakhouse
 We had to convince Fleming’s that beer paired with food as well, if not better than wine. After this dinner, they began carrying more craft beer and even ran a few of their own beer dinners! |
