Beer Bites: Playing Catch Up on Brew News

I went here. I didn't want to leave.

I just returned Thursday from a road trip to South Tampa to further explore its craft beer scene, and I’ll have lots to report back from it.

But as is typical when I leave town for a few days, I’m way behind so this week’s Beer Bites mostly will be a quick list of events this weekend and in the near future.
