Question: Which popular craft beer style originated in the city of Cologne, Germany?

The answer is at the bottom of this email

Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing is
relocating to Ybor City area

This marks the first move of the original Cigar City Brewing location since its opening in 2009 and subsequent expansions. Cigar City currently operates its original brewery on Spruce Street, a taproom located outside Amelie Arena on Channelside Drive, and a standalone location in Tampa International Airport.

New Episode: Danielle Vergnaud-McKinnon of Sky Puppy Brewing

Sky Puppy Brewing did not begin with stainless steel or a stack of cans. It began with place, patience, and a bat. In Ybor City’s historic core, Danielle Vernio-McKinnon and brewer Matthew McKinnon stared down three leaning brick walls and an earthen floor where Tampa’s second firehouse once stood. Over three years, they transformed a compromised building into a warm, art-forward taproom and a transparent brewhouse vista that invites guests to see, smell, and understand the process. The brewery’s heartbeat is community: locals, artists, and beer lovers mingling in a room that balances crisp pilsners with Scotch ales, barleywines, and carefully curated lagers. Instead of chasing distribution, Sky Puppy focuses on a direct-to-guest experience that turns first tastes into deeper conversations.
