ESB Brewing, Tampa

Like many of the best ideas, ESB Brewing came to be over clinking glasses filled with cold beer. Rather than pigeonholing themselves with super-stylized brews, the three friends behind ESB wanted instead to create something totally eclectic—something to please any palate. The result is a taproom full of everything from pale ales and super wheaty beers to stouts and double IPAs, all of which change from week to week. To keep the rest of the senses engaged, the brewery invites live musicians to perform or harmonize with the people sipping their beer.
