    so I am down here with my gf and wanted to score some bottles or just Have it on draft. I know they brew some out of Florida. Hoping to get some leads! Anything would be appreciated.

    You should be able to get any of their canned core beers at ABC or Total Wine location as they are brewed/canned in nearby Lakeland. These beers include Pseudo Sue, Rover Truck, Dorothy, and Golden Nugget. Anything in bottles is brewed and bottled in Iowa and not available in FL.

    On my list. This just occurred to me though, it seems like Total Wines & More has raised their prices over the past couple of years (I could be wrong)... who has the best prices? I'm planning on hitting Knightly as well.

    The stuff from Lakeland doesn't make it to Orlando unfortunately. Hit knightly, shamrock, and GBs bottle shop and tasting bar.

    Wow didn't know that. I just assumed because Tampa gets it.

    Yeah, it's unfortunate because Tampa gets so much of it. I feel like it sits on shelves there now and we still don't get any.

    Really? That is such a let down. I don't think I will drive all the way to Lakeland since she lives about an hour and a half away from there. No one has seen it on tap or anything closer?

    A couple things..The TG Beer brewed at The BrewHub is nothing like The TG Beer brewed in Iowa....have done tastings where we have had a Bottle from Iowa and The Can from Florida and it's not even remotely similar..secondly The Tampa St Pete Market has become "Hyper Local" as there is so much good stuff being brewed locally that there is no reason for places to carry "pseudo-pseudo Sue" and other National Craft Beers..my advice is skip the hour and a half drive to Lakeland and drink some of the great local stuff from 7th Sun..Cycle..Rapp..Angry Chair..Hidden Springs..Crooked Thumb..etc..etc..etc that you can find at numerous venues across Tampa Bay

    When in the market for a pale ale, I always bypass Pseudo for Reef Donkey.

    Which is sound advice but the OP is staying in Orlando (if not on the Winter Park side if Lakeland is 90 minutes away) ...

    Above posters are correct. The Psuedo sitting around is usually months old and even when fresh tastes nothing like the Iowa version. I was very excited for it to be in Florida. I bought one 4 pack and haven't done so again since then.

    There are a lot of better options out there.

    Go to Public House, the bar connected to Shamrock Liquor store near UCF. They have Morning Wood and Last Snow on tap.

    Orlando.. Visit Redlight Redlight for sure. Near there is gb bottle shop. Next to that is thirsty Topher. Not to far from there is 10 ten brewing. All in a small radius of each other.

    To venture to other areas... Big C liquors (although they've seemed to slow down on that selection they get), Shamrock liquors + attached bar public house, around the corner is Pat's liquor. Again all decently close in driving.
