The Brass Tap | Centro Ybor will be celebrating Thanksgiving Eve with a super nommy “Taste of Ybor” special beer event you don't want to miss! Featuring delicious beers tapped from kick ass Ybor hop houses like Tampa Bay Brewing Company, Coppertail Brewing Co, and Hidden Springs Ale Works, there’s sure to be an adult beverage for everyone to enjoy. 

The Brass Tap’s first location opened in Wesley Chapel in 2008. Founded by three friends originally from the restaurant industry, the Brass Tap embodies the simplicity of a dedicated craft beer bar. Their mission statement is to create a premium beer experience for the world, and the world certainly appreciates their efforts. 

The Tampa area, and Ybor City, in particular, has long been a destination for craft beerheads.  If craft is your thing don't miss Easy Guide with Links to the Best Craft Breweries | Hillsborough and Easy Guide with Links to the Best Craft Breweries | Pinellas for a comprehensive list of the bevy of breweries that now call the Tampa Bay area home - it’s a surprisingly large number. Many of these breweries feature growlers for sale, live music, tours, yoga classes, and more. 

Those of us who really love drinking and really hate driving can hop on the Brew Bus USA for a public or private tour, or even to a Lightning game. Tours are offered in downtown St. Pete, Ybor, Seminole Heights, and other areas of Tampa. Prices range from $11-$54. FYI - If you enjoy the “Taste of Ybor” on Thanksgiving Eve at The Brass Tap | Centro Ybor as much as we know you will,  the Brew Bus’s Ybor route visits all three featured breweries! 

The Brass Tap | Centro Ybor has a customer loyalty program and newsletter that’s both worthwhile and informative. Click over to their 813area business page and head to their website to sign up!  They’ve also got a super cool app with a neat matchmaking feature to help you find the very best craft beer for you (and remember the ones you really liked should you have a little problem with recall the next morning!).  The website also features a section titled “Beer 101” - the perfect resource guide if you have absolutely no clue what the difference is between a bung and a cask. There’s a handy glossary, a section on common beer glassware, and a cool “Beer Styles by Color” infographic (oh my god, the colors!).

Is your holiday is going to be extra rough due to your dumb uncle Steve refusing to shut up about politics or any other digestion-destroying family shenanigans?  Looking for Things To Do this Thanksgiving?  I personally had a highly entertaining Thanksgiving Eve at a bar in Tampa wearing a stolen Santa hat and involving too many Jagerbombs, but that’s another article. I look forward to seeing you out and about this Thanksgiving Eve having fun at The Brass Tap | Centro Ybor 's Taste of Ybor event. Here are the details: 

Don't Miss the “Taste of Ybor” at The Brass Tap | Centro Ybor on Wednesday, November 23rd, starting at 7pm - EVERYONE is welcome, even your Uncle Steve, and  PLEASE REMEBER do not drink and drive!
