Tampa Bay Brewing Co.
"Carrolwood Area"

© By Dave Paradine

This Brew Pub first opened in August of 1989 at 10330 N Dale Mabry Highway, suite 101, Tampa. Owned and operated by Lee Nicholson and Ben Meisler. Noted as Tampa’s first “brew pub”. It housed a typical glassed in brewery for the patrons to see the making of Beer and Ale in the form of refrigerated tanks and hoses. They produced at first a deep red slightly sweet ale, a hoppy pilsner, and a pale weizenbier or wheat beer. (1)

They also came out with a coaster with this same logo, which I still need to obtain.
