The Tampa Bay Brewers Alliance is a young organization, but its goals are impactful: working with the breweries of Tampa Bay to generate interest in the craft beers produced here, as well as educating the next generation of brewers and beyond. This includes funding and insuring students of the USF St. Petersburg Brewing Arts Program during their internships, thus helping to continue the pipeline of creative brewers into the future.
With all of those aspirations, funding is needed, so events like the TBBA’s Bicycle Poker Run are necessary.
From Tampa Bay Brewers Alliance:
We will begin the ride at HOB Brewing, then up the Pinellas Trail to Stilt House Brewing, back to 7venth Sun, then Soggy Bottom Brewing, Caledonia, and return to HOB for the final card of your poker hand.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A RACE!!! We want everyone to have fun, so e-bikes, scooters, unicycles, etc. are all welcome!
We are asking people to show up at HOB Brewing to collect their first poker hand card between 12-1pm, and then start their ride. We will do awards at 6:00 at HOB Brewing.
$20 per rider. The funds raised will go to the TBBA/Beverage Industry Operator Brewing Arts Internship Assistance Program. In addition, there will be gift card prizes for the top two poker hands as well as the worst hand.
No beer purchase is necessary.
