White Oak Jai Alai

total wine in clearwater had some today

 

I think it will be around in distribution. I picked some up at TW yesterday.

 

Wow, didn't expect that this may be available. I'm flying to Tampa tomorrow for an afternoon business meeting and will have some time before/after my meeting to either visit the brewery or go find a store nearby. Can someone point me in the right direction (if the brewery itself doesn't have it)? Thanks!

 

I would recommend calling Total Wines in the area right before you go. They are pretty good at knowing their stock. Or you could just call the tasting room to see if they have any ((813) 348-6363).

Thank you!

I have to drive down the coast to Naples after my meeting; anything off I-75 worth stopping at?

 

check out Mr. Beery's in Sarasota. Legit.

 

If you have time for a lunch and have an adventurous beer palate Darwin's On Fourth has some great food and beers (its a Peruvian Brewpub). I have never been to Mr. Beery's but it comes highly recommended from people in that direction (see MatthewPlus).

 

oh wow that menu looks fantastic, food & beer

My meeting runs until 3:30 PM and then I have to drive to Neptune, so I might just stop at Darwin's for an early dinner. seems like it would be right around the time I need food too

 

As of 4pm today the brewery tasting room still had plenty. I'm in Sarasota area and second the Darwin's and Beerys recs.

 

the brewery has a ton.

 

Its so damn good this fresh! Go get some if you haven't already. I still have 2 from the last batch that I am going to age a little bit and do a mini vertical in a year or so. Does anyone know the exact release date of the last batch? I want to say around the end of December...

 

You can look up the ccb release calendar.

 

I'm psyched to get over there after my meeting. Provided I don't get lost. Tampa is impossible to drive around! lol

 

well I made it, and had a blast (albeit for only a short while unfortunately). and yes, fresh White Oak Jai Alai is amazing! picked up 2 4-packs to bring home too.

and thank you to those of you who recommended Darwin's on 4th! All I can say is wow! the food was SUBLIME. beer was decent, but the food...dayum

 

had a case dated dec 19

 

The batch I sampled in the brewery yesterday, and the bottles they had for sale were from a batch bottled/kegged last Friday. So pretty dang fresh!

 

It was available at the brewery late December, distribution last of January.

 

My cousin just picked me up four 4 packs. Yessssss.

 

TW in Jacksonville had some today. ONE BOTTLE limit each, what a joke. Thanks for reminding me why I go to other bottle shops in town.

 

Why don't they start making this year round? Incredible beer, better yet, can it.
