    Super cute spot with plenty of parking and seating. Good beer options, wines, ciders, and some seltzers. They even had a new gluten free beer and some slushies. Zeke, the bartender, was so nice and we had great conversation! They are dog friendly - it passes the time when you can bring your dog with you.

    The staff is pleasant, parking plentiful, and with so many beers, you're almost certain to find something to your liking. That said, the best thing about this place has little to do with this place. Southern Brewing doesn't sell much in the way of food. However, just across the street there's a taco truck that has the BEST tacos I've ever had. And, that's coming from someone who has had lots of really good tacos. So, to accompany my Rice Lager from SB I was able to enjoy a 3-taco plate, shrimp, beef, and pork. Together it made for a delightful dinner. Give it a try. You'll thank me later.

    I came here today after not having been here for many years. I used to come here for beer brewing supplies. They have completely changed the decor. Today the bar is much larger and the beer making supply section is a little smaller. We liked the atmosphere and the beer was amazing. I don't make beer anymore but if you do this is a great place to buy supplies. The staff were helpful and quickly we had a great beer in our hands and we're enjoying our drinks.

    Southern Brewing is one of my favorite breweries in Tampa. Located just minutes from 275, this cool hangout is right off MLK, and has ample private parking. Southern is part bar, part brewery and part store. Everything you need to home-brew beer, wine, mead, kombucha, and hard cider can be found there, and friendly staff will answer all of your brewing questions. They also sell SB shirts. They don't serve food but they often host various local food trucks. The spacious bar typically plays chill music and has a couple of tv's on during the day. Saturdays are my favorite because they offer delicious wine slushies for $5, and those puppies are strong! Their outdoor patio is a lush oasis with fire pits and fans. Seems to attract all kinds of friendly people and cute doggies. There's a lack of hipster pretension from guests and staff alike, which is refreshing for a brewery in Tampa.

    This is a quaint, smaller size brewery, but it had quite a number of drafts to choose from. And the customer service there was excellent.

    Best tangerine beer EVER! And they have so many different styles of beer, including hard to find ones like a white stout and cold IPA! Service was laid back and not in your face, they have a pay-it-forward board, plenty of brewing supplies, happy hour M-F 4-7, and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Very chill place with good beer!

    Pictures posted on here are pretty flattering, so I was expecting something a bit nicer. It's pretty run down and everything probably came from a thrift store. The inside smells of dust and is really dark. Could all use some updating. The beers we tasted were fine. The strawberry Berliner was the best one. The blueberry melomal was okay. Seems like a nice spot for neighborhood folk to hang out. You can get food from a local Mexican restaurant, which is nice! Service at the bar was nice enough. We are just visiting from out of town, so we won't be back.

    If you are looking for delicious craft beer, go here! The Not Your Snow White Stout was sooo delicious! First time trying a white stout and I was shocked how much I loved it. The dunkel was very enjoyable as well. They have a large outdoor patio area which would be great in the cooler months. We decided to sit inside since it was humid (as per usual lol). Huge outdoor area as well. They have couches as well as tables and chairs. They had a few TVs showing the Rays game. Sweet place to post up for a game. Covid precautious include limited bar seating and socially distanced tables. Overall, nice chill vibe at this spot. Can't wait to go back!

    Southern Brewing & Winemaking is located in Seminole Heights, right across from an insurance office with parking available in the back. There is a 2 headed alligator statue right out in the front entrance. My husband, our little girl dog and I came to this brewery to meet a friend and her dog, who are locals. Dogs are allowed inside by the way. We came on a Wednesday, around 2 pm. It was pretty empty for the most part but around 6 pm, it was starting to get busy. My friend told me that anytime she has friends visiting from out of town, she always suggest meeting here for some good drinks and she also insisted in paying (but drinks cost between $5-$8). For my review, I am just going to review the drinks that I ended having. Please note that this place not only offers beer but hard cider and wine. Strawberry Rhubarb Wine- One of the employees offered me a tasting of this wine to see if I would like it. I didn't think it was sweet enough and so this wasn't one that I would order for myself. Blackberry Slushie- I was really hoping I would like this but didn't think it was sweet enough of me (I am the type of person who just loves dessert wines). Black Bette Blackberry Merlot- This wine was significantly sweeter than the other and ended up choosing this one to drink. I liked the sweetness of the blackberry flavors and thought it was a nice one to drink. I really wanted to try the raspberry peach sangria but unfortunately, they didn't have any available. According to the employee who was helping me, he told me I would have probably liked this one. Anyways, we ended up being here for about 4 hours (wasn't planned and it was nice catching up and letting our dogs play and get to know each other). The employees and owners never tried to kick us out (my friend and my husband did get beer throughout the time while we were here and I just stuck to my 1 glass of wine, lol). Music was playing but wasn't too loud, which is nice when I don't have to scream for the person next to me to hear what I am saying. The single toilet ladies restroom was clean for the most part. I liked that there were styrofoam cups available the drinking fountain if you wanted water, which is near the restrooms. I also like that you are able to bring you own food if you wish. There is also covered outdoor seating with toys available if you bring kids. Overall, had a pretty good experience and would definitely be a regular if I live in this area. And if you are a local, they have some great happy hour specials and also specials just for locals (lucky you).

    I had a great time here. I went on a Saturday around 2pm for a beer. They had plenty of options and I picked a delicious IPA. S went for a Stout which he liked too. We sat outside in the blue adirondack chairs. Very casual vibe--I liked that I could hang out a while and enjoy the warm Florida temperature. I don't think I would have sat inside during the day (the outside area is huge), but the bar seemed pretty busy. They also had a Mexican food truck in the parking lot next door which looked good. I would definitely go back for an afternoon drink next time in Tampa!

As someone who has wanted to get into home brew, this was a great first steps class The store is well-stocked with everything a beginner needs plus plenty of grains, hops, etc for those a bit more experienced. We opted for the beginners kit, some sanitizer, 2 boxes of bottles, and a "brewers best pale ale kit". This all ran us about $140. The $20 we paid for the class (2 of us) was credited to our purchase. Overall, a really great friendly place for if you're new. I am assuming they have a good selection for experienced brewers but since I am just starting out I can't speak to that. Excited to begin brewing soon and I will be patronizing Vetterbrew for my needs for the foreseeable future!

It is located in a small building on US 41 near Land O'Lakes. I thought it was cool that Central Pasco had their own independent home brewing store but I figured it wouldn't be a place I would visit because I'm not a beer drinker. I am, however, a kombucha drinker. And when I decided to keg and force carbonate my own "buch", Afford-a-Brew became just the type of place I needed. As I was working through the process of kegging, I ran into some issues. I Googled what went wrong and thought I needed some pieces so I paid a visit to Afford-a-Brew. I explained my situation and setup to the employee and he said that it sounded like I really didn't need any pieces. He thought I had everything I needed already at home. He talked me through the issue I was having and I left the shop without buying anything. I appreciated that Afford-a-Brew could've sold me a lot of stuff I didn't need but they didn't. So when my CO2 tank leaked out and I really did need some components, I didn't hesitate to head back to Afford-a-Brew. This time I walked out with a full CO2 tank and some keg gel in case I had another leaking issue. I also, again, was provided guidance about what to look for to find the leak. Even more than the CO2 tank, gel and advice was the encouragement the man working the counter offered me. He could sense my frustration and he told me "Don't worry about it. It happens to everyone. Even big time beer places with people who know what they are doing lose carbonation some times." So, while Afford-a-Brew is definitely a great place to visit for all the home brewing accessories that someone might need, it is the information and encouragement they provided that really made this business a five star one.
