Wet Zoning Hearing Tomorrow

Tomorrow at 1:30 PM we go before the Tampa City Council to ask for restriction free wet zoning for the brewery. What his will allow us to do is actually sell beer on premises and to be open when most people can actually make it, evenings and weekends. If we get the wet zoning we are seeking we will have an expanded tasting room which will operate more like a pub. You'll be able to come in and buy a pint of CCB beer to drink on premises as well as buy growlers to-go. Naturally this will allow us to do more special events and themed beer events such as cask ale nights, vertical tasting events and guest taps.

How you can help Cigar City Brewing: If you can make it to the council meeting tomorrow at 1:30 PM to speak and show your support, excellent. If you can't you can still let the Tampa City Council know that you support our nascent craft brewing efforts by emailing the council members and letting them know that you'd like to see the CCB Tasting Room be open evenings and weekends. If you are a 9 to 5er who can't get by during the day expanded operational hours is the remedy you have been waiting for. So please take the time to email or phone all of the Tampa City Council members and let them know how you feel about this. If you are an out of towner, all the better.
