The indisputable leader among the craft breweries in Tampa, Cigar City Brewing prides itself on creating nationally prized craft brews on an intimate scale. There is a large, unpretentious tasting room, perfect for checking out what's on tap and a great place to gather with friends. This brewery focuses on the art of craft brewing and offers a highly rated Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale, hoppy Jai Alai IPA and a diverse selection of seasonal ales and stouts. Five to six behind-the-scene tours are offered daily Wednesday through Sunday if you want to see the brewing in action. They have expanded beyond their original location and now have pubs located in north Tampa and at the airport, and a cider and mead spot in Ybor City.
