Ybor City Hosts the Second Annual Bad Ass Beer Fest

Calling all beer enthusiasts!

Tampa Bay Brewing Company is brewing up something bad ass.

With over 40 local breweries participating and offering up their best beers, there is something for everyone at the second annual Bad Ass Beer Fest in Ybor City on Friday, July 31st  on the site of their new brewery and restaurant in the Westchase area of Tampa, FL at 13937 Monroe’s Business Park.

Get an opportunity to try beers that haven’t even been introduced to the public yet. Dubbed a full moon event, since the fest will be in full swing on the full moon, the TBBC is taking the opportunity to introduce its 20th anniversary beer, Full Moon Madness, a subtropical porter. The best part? Every participant will receive a free 16oz can to sample for themselves.

The event, which is expecting an attendance of 3,500 people, will also feature live music, plenty of craft beer sampling and food trucks galore, with plenty of delicious foods to accompany delicious brews. Vendors will be placed throughout the event with shirts, cigars and other merchandise that you’ll want to take home with you.

Doble Family Foundation

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Doble Family Foundation, which supports local veteran causes, conservation and education. Specific donations will be accepted and presented at the festival by the Doble family.
