Cigar City Brewing - Tampa, FL... Brewery tour and tasting...

I know a few of you guys are fans of the craft beer scene and this thread is for you. I spent a few hours at Cigar City today and got to see the brewery and taste a few of the beers on site. The place was packed and the photos are limited, but I hope you enjoy the pics..
The brewery tour is short as the place is probably all of 4,000 sqft. The front of the brewhouse is a tap room where a few dozen beers are available. The neat thing is that you can buy a pint or a gallon of any beer available to take home. The "Growlers" are in the second pic.
In the factory pics you'll notice they have over 1,000 craft beer bottles on the wall. The tour guide referred to this as product research and development. Cigar City is on target to make 23,000 gallons of beer this year and according to BeerAdvocate.com 3 of the Top 100 beers in the world are brewed at Cigar City.
I tried the sampler which is everything they had in 4oz serving plus took a 6 pack of Florida Cracker Ale, Jose Marti Porter and a pint plus bottle of Big Sound bourbon barrel aged Scotch ale home.
Worth a visit if your ever in Tampa...

Conveniently located only a few miles from Mons Venus for the OT readers that have found their way to the F&D..

Thanks,
They make some awesome stuff and I'd LOVE it if we got their stuff.
If we got everything that was made in the Southeast I wouldn't worry about Colorado breweries and California breweries coming here for a while. We've got some great stuff in our region.

It's a good time although the tasting room is apparently always packed.
The Nitro Secret Rendezvous is at 9% and aged in chocolate bourbon barrels. Very unique flavor and unlike anything I've had my hands on.
The Jannus Ale was my fav, very light and flavorful..
