Tampa Bay Craft Beer

It’s hard to beat having a cold drink with a beautiful view. That’s what vacation is all about! Clearwater Beach provides the stunning vacation views, and there’s plenty of cold drinks in the area, from great wine shops to many Tampa Bay Craft Beer options!

Beach views and cold drinks go hand in hand, but keep in mind drinking on Clearwater Beach is illegal. Stay focused on drinking in places with beach views and not directly on Clearwater Beach. Many Clearwater Beach restaurants provide great beach views and extensive drink menus, but my favorite is sitting on the balcony of a beachfront condo and enjoying a local Tampa Bay craft beer.

Clearwater Craft Breweries

There are almost 100 unique craft breweries to visit in the Tampa Bay area. If you’re staying in Clearwater Beach, you’re only blocks away from Clearwater Social Brewing Company, located at 483 Mandalay Avenue. You can also find two more craft breweries in Clearwater, Florida. Southern Lights Brewing Company and Grindhaus Brew Lab are both located in Clearwater and only 20 minutes from Clearwater Beach.

Dunedin Craft Breweries

Dunedin, located just north of Clearwater Beach, is a great day trip location for those vacationing in Clearwater Beach. It’s a short drive to a beautiful town known for delicious food and eight local craft breweries! All eight craft breweries are located within walking distance for each other providing a safe way to try some local beer from each one! Walk between each brewery and travel between Clearwater Beach and Dunedin by using Jolley Trolly, the Clearwater Ferry, or grab a taxi/rideshare or sober driver! Stay safe!

Tampa Bay Craft Beer

In addition to the Clearwater area and a Craft Beer day trip to Dunedin, you can find Craft Breweries all over the Tampa Bay area. Some of the most popular areas outside of Dunedin are St. Petersburg, Ybor City and other areas in Tampa.
