Enjoy over 100 beer tastings and various food samplings from 30 local Tampa Bay restaurants. This event is sponsored through the generosity of Pepin Distributing Company and Aramark.

“One of The Florida Aquarium’s goals is to be a leader for aquatic animal conservation and research, and as one of our annual fundraising events, Brews by the Bay supports this important mission,” said Kari Goetz, Vice President of External Relations. “It’s an exciting time to bring people together in support of our Blue Planet conservation efforts. Brews is going to be a great celebration of our ocean and our community of ocean supporters.”
One hundred percent of Brews proceeds supports the Aquarium’s conservation programs. With our recent scientific breakthrough of spawning Atlantic corals in a laboratory setting, there’s even more reason to celebrate!
This event is overflowing with entertainment from #NoFilter, Orquesta Infinidad, Frankie Raye, and a Silent Disco on our rooftop! Dance the night away to #NoFilter, with chart-topping hits and awesome throwbacks. Sip and Salsa with Orquesta Infinidad, the best authentic Latin band, based in Tampa’s historic Ybor City.
Brews will feature 100+ beers from Pepin Distribution Company, including some from your local favorites: Coppertail Brewing Company, Tampa Bay Brewing Company, Angry Chair Brewing, 3 Daughters Brewing and more! NEW THIS YEAR: For non-beer drinkers, our rooftop will be overflowing with Beyond Beer products like Fling Canned Cocktails and Babe Wine.
