We're originally from PA, but just discovered Yuengling a few years ago. While checking out their website on a road trip to FL, we found they have a brewery in Tampa offering a FREE tour and samples! We loved it! Elizabeth was an outstanding tour guide - sharing all of the history behind this great beer, the Tampa brewery, answering all of our questions, and keeping us laughing with her humor! The refreshing samples and gift shop full of reasonably priced unique items were bonuses! Now we want to take a trip to Pottsville to tour the original brewery, too! Highly recommend this tour for all of the historical value - even if you don't drink beer!

At the Tampa International Airport, Cigar City Brewing has a restaurant where I passed some time waiting for my plane, which was 2 hours late. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and a pale ale. Both were tasty and worth the price. However, I had lost my cell phone in the terminal! I didn;t realize that at the time, but when I did the staff at the restaurant was totally helpful in trying to find the phone, calling the number, making suggestions, etc. In the end I found the phone near the gate that I had visited to check on the plane's departure. The staff made the visit pretty good, and I have to thank them, knowing that if any other traveller gets into the same situation they will do their best to help.
3. Angry Chair Brewing
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 75 reviews
Reviewed By I2432NFscottc - Palm Harbor, United States
A fun place with an industrial, metal-head kind of vibe, Angry Chair offers amazing IPAs, and some of the most complex sweet-stouts you've ever come across. VERY VERY limited parking means you have too park on the street... but as they warn you, DONT PARK ON FERN! At least not unless you wish bad things upon your car. A MUST VISIT for any craft beer drinker.

Reviewed By chidutch - Chicago, United States
Atmosphere is pretty cool. Live music, beer garden, and good beer selection! Food was extremely good! Especially the bangers and mash. My only complaint would be the pretzels. Tasted like a mall pretzel. The beer cheese made up for it.
