HALFWAY THERE: A MID-WAY SOIRÉE
What: HALFWAY THERE is Tampa Bay Beer Week’s (TBBW) annual charity event marking the “halfway” point to the area’s week-long celebration of craft beer that occurs in early March.

TBBW aims to showcase the amazing synergy between food and beer, creating an experience that is titillating to the senses. Guests will have the opportunity to sample meticulously paired craft beer and small plate food offerings, as well as the ability to sample rare beers in a curated bottle share area, while mingling with brewery owners, brewers, chefs and other industry leaders.
Who: Up to 50 select Florida, national and international breweries will partner with some of the best Florida-based restaurants to come up with extraordinary beer and food pairings. Local homebrew clubs will also showcase their best club beers. This will be the largest and most diverse beer and food event in the State of Florida to date.
