On Feb. 15th, 1897, the Sunshine State saw the opening of its first locally owned and operated brewery in Ybor City. Florida Brewing Co was the first brewery located in the southeastern United States and served to quench the thirsts of hundreds of cigar rollers working in the area. While the brewery is no longer in operation, it is the starting point of a long and proud brewing tradition that you are helping to continue. To that end, we would like to recognize Feb. 15th, 2016 the first annual ‘Florida Craft Beer Day’, a day where we all can celebrate the economic, cultural, and societal impact that brewing has made in the Sunshine State. Join us and nearly 20+ craft breweries from around the state of Florida in a 7PM craft beer toast! There is no single pshyical location for this event, you can take part at your local brewery or in your home, please share this event with anyone that may want to support Florida's Craft Beer!
