This annual event is one of the most anticipated beer festivals in Florida, featuring an incredible lineup of breweries from across the state and around the globe. It’s a celebration of great beer, great people, and the community that ties it all together.
We’re proud to be part of it again this year. If you’re going, come find us and grab a pour.
Our friends from Marker 48 stopped by recently to brew a special HAZY IPA collaboration in celebration of their 10th anniversary.
We went all in on this one, layering a mix of T90 and flowable hops to build rich, saturated hop character and huge aroma. Ekuanot and Strata bring bursts of tropical fruit and ripe peach, while Incognito El Dorado and Mosaic add juicy pineapple, bright citrus, and a touch of berry sweetness.
The malt backbone comes entirely from Riverbend, offering that signature depth and balance we’ve come to love from their craft malt. It gives the beer a soft, honeyed base with just enough body to support the hop expression and let the aroma shine.
It’s still in the tanks, but this one already smells incredible. We can’t wait to share it soon.

Brewed with our friends at @wulfavenbrewing, Tomfoolery is a bright, expressive IPA built around Simcoe, Comet, and Belma hops. It bursts with aromas of ripe peach, melon, and citrus peel, layered over notes of pine and resin. The fresh hops bring a vibrant, green edge that sets this IPA apart, while a clean malt backbone from @riverbendmalt keeps it crisp and focused. Fresh, aromatic, and full of character, this beer captures the fleeting beauty of hop harvest season.
Join us Saturday, November 1 at 6PM as Black Valley Moon and The Vindicators bring a night of raw, high-energy rock to the Beer Garden.
Black Valley Moon channels surf, rockabilly, horror punk, and goth into a dark, cinematic sound. With sharp guitar work, pounding rhythm, and Ray Vega’s commanding vocals, the band leans into a style inspired by drive-in horror movies and classic comic books. Their sets move between campy retro flair and hard-hitting garage rock, giving every show a distinct edge.
The Vindicators match that energy with their own brand of gritty garage rock, soaked in punk attitude and delivered with a snarl and swagger. Together, the two bands make for a night that balances sharp musicianship with raw intensity, the perfect pairing for the Beer Garden stage.
Rich and full-bodied, this TREATment of our Stout du Jour is an Imperial Stout with layers of roasted malt and dark chocolate with warming pumpkin spice and a lush, creamy vanilla presence. Aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg lead into flavors of cocoa, caramelized sugar, and roasted coffee, finishing smooth and balanced. It captures the indulgence of dessert flavors without the sweetness, making it a perfect stout for the season.
On Tap now. Come try it while you can. This one’s a limited engagement and might not make it to November.
Introducing “The Pearl” Hazy IPA, brewed in collaboration with Tampa Bay Watch.
This beer was created as part of our ongoing Beer for the Bay initiative, with 10% of gross profit donated directly to support the restoration and protection of Tampa Bay’s waters.
The Pearl bursts with El Dorado and Nelson hops, bringing notes of pineapple, peach, and bright citrus alongside touches of white grape and gooseberry. Riverbend malt and Florida-grown malted wheat give it a soft, pillowy base that lets the hops shine while keeping the finish juicy and refreshing.
It’s on draft now at Grand Central Brewhouse, and we just sent kegs to our distributor (@greatbaydistributors) so bars, restaurants, and other accounts can start ordering it next week. Cans will roll out later in November.
Where do you want to see The Pearl? Tag your favorite bar, restaurant, or bottle shop and let us know!
