A long time ago in a brewer's group chat far, far away…

Episode I
THE RISE OF THE COLLAB

It is a period of great thirst! Though a rebellion was brewing amongst the local beer community. They sought to overthrow the empire of light brews and embrace the darkness of the stout side. The battle lines have been drawn, and it's time to choose your side in the battle to be remembered as the "Stout Wars."

Willard's Taphouse will feature a variety of stouts from three powerful breweries: Gulfport Brewery, Southern Lights Brewing & Tidal Brewing. The force is strong with our collaboration brew, crafted by the skilled hands of these three masters. With lightsabers raised and glasses clinking, dress according to the side you intend to fight for and let the force guide you to the perfect pint.

Join us at 7PM, fellow beer enthusiasts, as we gather to celebrate the power of the dark brews. May the fourth be with you...

We’re excited to be earning 2 medals this year for our Le houblon French Pilsner and Dirty rotten scoundrel German red lager! Be sure to rep your Tidal shirt if you attend :)

We’ll be pouring at the kick off to Tampa Bay Beer week at Perry Harvey Sr Park!

We’ll be pouring at this event at Armature Works in Tampa! Come find our booth :)

Come join us in Dunedin for a Tidal Tap Takeover! Dunedin House of Beer will have 4 of our beers on tap.

Join the Hernando County Environmentally Sensitive Lands Program, Tidal Brewing, and Roots Creative Company in a clean-up workday event at Peck Sink Preserve! Together we will be removing trash and debris from the property and edges of the sink to prevent contamination of our aquifer. Removal of trash across the property will assist not only in the beautification of the preserve but also increase the functionality of the ecosystem for plants and wildlife communities. All trash will be brought back to the check-in area. This event is part of the recent Tide For a Cause project between the three organizations to help raise awareness of the County's Preserves and a special limited release beer will be brewed by Tidal Brewing in honor of Peck Sink.
