"In 1897, the Florida Brewing Company opened in Ybor City as the first brewery in Florida. Cigar City Brewing pays tribute to that brewery and Tampa’s cigar-making roots, making it an important part of Tampa’s culinary fabric. The taproom, located adjacent to the brewery, offers fresh Jai Alai and Florida Man pints, along with a selection of Cuban-influenced eats such as empanadas and Cubanos." - Laine Doss
