So, maybe you fancy yourself a craft beer lover.  Some of us here at 813area definitely do.  Like us, you've probably tried a healthy amount of the ones floating around bars all throughout Tampa; Sam Adams, Dogfish Head, Anchor Steam, even our own Cigar City beers brewed right here in Tampa, the list goes on and on....

But, there's other beers out there, my friends.  Ones you can't find at the grocery store or gas station, ones you might not even find at the local liquor mart which seemingly serve everything.   There's really only one place in Tampa you can find, say, a Banks Beer from Barbados or an Efes Pilsner from Turkey, maybe even a Fuller's London Porter from across the pond.  That place is World of Beer.

With five locations across the Bay Area, you can be sure you've got one within acceptable distance of your humble abode.

Why should you go, you ask?

Well, even if you aren't a craft beer lover, there's sure to be something you'll enjoy at WOB.  You probably just don't know it yet, which is where their incredibly knowledgeable staff come in.  Chat it up with em, mention a few beers or flavors your fond of and you'll be well on your way to that perfect pint.  They'll even let you sample a few before your purchase, too.

With over 500 beers to choose from, it's virtually impossible to ever be bored with the menu at World of Beer.  Every time you go can work as an adventure of sorts where you try a new beer, or beers, every time you go.

In addition to this tried and true libation, Tampa World of Beer locations also host live music and monthly cookouts.  They don't serve food, but cuisine from surrounding restaurants are always welcome.

If you're looking for a new, relaxed nightlife experience in the Tampa Bay area, World of Beer definitely has your back.
