    I'm starting this thread as a place to post relevant questions vs. cluttering up other more-specific threads with tangential questions that will be more appropriate here.

    Generally, the Tampa Bay Beer Week website's event page (that's a hyperlink, folks) is a great resource. It is kind of bare now but tends to fill up impressively the closer we get.

    Tampa Bay Beer Week is starting to sprawl past the "week" mark: You'll want to check the website linked above.

    The Florida Brewers Guild Fest is March 2. It's always a terrific time, probably because its lack of local/national whalez helps keep away the hypeboiz. It is, however, a great way to survey the ever-expanding Florida beer scene and try things from places one might otherwise never get to.

    "Best?" Who knows. Everyone who posts a response will have a different answer.

    It's no joke that there will be at least two events of some sort every day between Saturday, March 2 and Sunday, March 10. I can't think of a brewery/taproom that doesn't do SOMEthing during the week. So there's no reason not to find engaging activities. Tap takeovers generally are free (pay per beer); other events (e.g., Angry Chair, Cycle) are paid.

    Bumping this, perhaps as an appropriate (and pre-existing) thread for those (@wxmanify) looking to do bottle shares during TBBW.

    If anyone wants to try some tasty beers from New Jersey; Bolero Snort and Icarus are hosting a taptakeover at Rock Brothers on Thursday evening (March 7th).

    These 2 breweries have been putting out some tasty beverages over the past few years and things are really dialed in nowadays.

    If you're going to be in town, it's going to be a good time, so I recommend stopping by.

    Cheers!

    Angry Chair. Cycle BA day. Wake up with Wakefield. Magnumpalooza if you're into mead. I'm sure a bunch of dope tap takeovers will pop up too. Last year cigar city had 3 sons

    AC Rad beer is sold out, Cycle BA day is sold, Magnumpalooza is sold out. Wake up with Wakefield is usually a shit show of people but thins out later in the day.
    Your best bet is to hit some the the tap takeovers and bottle releases.

    Going to be there from Wed-Sat. I got ticket for Super Rad, Magnumpalooza and BA Day. Might go to Foudre too!

    Which events are allowing shares or is there anyone local who's organizing a share? I'm coming from CT with a friends.

    Haven't been but I think I have seen bottle share pictures from Cycle BA day. I have only been to Hunahpus and Hangover day, hunahpus is a definite No since they moved off site and Hangover Day I have seen some people sharing so that might be a possibility.

    No to super rad
    Magnumpalooza is basically a giant bottle share with a little mead
    Cycle ba day is another insanely huge bottle share
