On Saturday, September 20 at 6 PM, we welcome Drunken Shrubbery to the Beer Garden.
Arguably one of Tampa Bay’s best Celtic folk and pub band, Drunken Shrubbery brings the energy of a proper Irish session straight to St. Pete. Formed in 2022 by Bryan and Matt, longtime collaborators who bonded over a love of Irish pub music, the group soon grew with the addition of Tim from the D20 Band. United by a shared passion for both music and Monty Python, the name came naturally: a shrubbery, of course… a nice one. But not too expensive. And with a nod to their other favorite pastime, enjoying a fine pint.
Expect a lively night of Celtic folk tunes, pub singalongs, and plenty of good humor. See you in the Beer Garden!

Our latest collaboration with @pointybelbrew, Rice Rice Baby, is a clean and refreshing rice lager brewed with Riverbend Pilsner malt and jasmine rice. The rice lends a delicate floral aroma and a subtle sweetness that lightens the body while keeping the finish crisp and dry. Perle and Saaz hops add gentle spice and a touch of herbal character that complement the malt and rice without overpowering them. The result is a bright lager with notes of toasted baguette and fragrant jasmine blossom, culminating in a clean, refreshing close.
At 4.5% ABV, this lager shows that true complexity can be found in simplicity.
Rice Rice Baby is on tap now, and we`ll also be pouring it today, Sunday August 31, at the Cool & Crispy Festival at Point Ybel Brewing. Stop by and grab a glass!
