RUN

Then we celebrated our 5th anniversary, by running the Tampa Beer Run to benefit Humane Society of Tampa. It was a 5K inside of Al Lopez Park that offered four beer stops with local brews for us to try.  It was a humid day but we finished in time to miss a morning rain shower!  The course was flat and offered so much shade we always feel a bit jealous of every Tampa local who can use this park as a training ground.  We got to meet cute dogs on the course and got a bonus beer at the after party.  No medal, but a great pint glass and t-shirt have always been great souvenirs for this race. There was beer along with a DJ at the after party, all contained within the park.   Every year this race proves to be a great time supporting a cause close to our hearts.  

 

Beer was provided at the beer stops by the following breweries:

 

3 Daughters Brewing

Coppertail Brewing

Flying Boat Brewing 

 

EAT

The Columbia Restaurant in the Ybor City area of Tampa, Florida was the site of our celebratory meal after the race.  This was also the first restaurant we visited on the show.  It is rich with Tampa history both in its decor and its menu.  We were so happy to return and enjoy their classics:  Crab Croquettes, Spanish Bean Soup, and a 1905 Salad.  So good!! We love this place and everyone should eat here when visiting the Tampa area.  

 

DRINK

Cigar City Brewing was the first brewery we featured on our show five years ago.  Today we sample beer from their menu and explore their newly renovated location.  Their beers are from a wide array of styles and they are still tasty!  We are so glad that their beer is widely available in this sta
