We’re proud to host a special Brew Good happy hour in support of Wounded Warriors Abilities Ranch (WWAR) during PTSD Awareness Month. WWAR is a local nonprofit built to inspire veterans of all conflicts to get out, get active, and reconnect through recreation, wellness, and community.
Founded by Pinellas Park resident and Iraq War veteran Mike Delancey, WWAR was born out of personal experience with life-changing injuries sustained in combat. His vision led to Lurie Park, an ADA-accessible community space designed specifically to support veterans and their families, featuring wheelchair-friendly trails, adaptive workout stations, a fishing pond, and a multi-purpose sports court for wheelchair sports and events. It’s a place of healing, strength, and resilience.
This happy hour event is hosted by Kim Musick and James McCormack, with a stacked lineup of guest bartenders:�
Stacy Maynard, Amanda King, and Jessa Burgess will be behind the bar from 5 to 7 PM, donating 100% of tips directly to WWAR.
🎧 DJ Ricky will be spinning throwback favorites all evening.�
Plus, don’t miss the online raffle featuring incredible items donated by our friends at:
�• Xul
�• Human Robot
�• Mortalis�

🧡 Wear orange, the official color of WWAR, and show your support in style.

Glitter Wizard is a 5% Hazy Pale Ale brewed with summer in mind. This one features Mosaic Spectrum in the dry hop, a cutting-edge flowable hop extract from Barth Haas that captures the full intensity of Mosaic without the excess vegetal matter. Layered on top is Krush, a hop variety known for its lush notes of mango, guava, and ripe citrus.
The result is a vibrant, aromatic pale ale that brings plenty of flavor without overwhelming the palate.
Glitter Wizard is the perfect companion for enjoying multiple rounds on these warm-weather days. It’s from on draft TODAY, so come on through and grab a glass.
The only pitch you need to hear today.
Elevator Pitch is our take on a traditional Munich-style Helles. Expect grainy, honey-like malt flavor with a light body and restrained hop character that lets the malt shine. It’s a crisp, clean, easy-drinking classic made for enjoying in the beer garden…or an elevator.
In today’s Sharing a Shiftie, Stacy talks about what goes into making events at Grand Central Brewhouse feel personal. From the small touches that set the tone to the behind-the-scenes pivots that keep everything on track when plans shift, it’s all about creating a great experience.
Whether it’s a baby shower, graduation, retirement party, wedding rehearsal, or something a little less traditional, Stacy’s goal is the same: make it memorable for you and your guests.
