Florida breweries 
Granted, some of the “grand openings” are official in name only because brewery taprooms usually hold a soft opening a few weeks in advance to work out kinks for their debut into beer society circles. At least one soft opening two soft openings have already taken place this month: Silverking Brewing Company in Tarpon Springs and Lake Tribe Brewing Company in Tallahassee. At least one taproom grand opening, Coppertail Brewing, is scheduled in early March during Tampa Bay Beer Week , and Cigar City Brewing has its sixth anniversary coming up around that time. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, here are a few of the others scheduled in February, starting today. If I missed any, leave a comment below or email gerard@beerinflorida.com and I’ll add them.
