In the kind of morning that had our team checking the calendar to see if April 1st came early, Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing posted about an upcoming move to the Ybor City Area of Tampa.
This marks the first move of the original Cigar City Brewing location since its opening in 2009 and subsequent expansions. Cigar City currently operates its original brewery on Spruce Street, a taproom located outside Amelie Arena on Channelside Drive, and a standalone location in Tampa International Airport.
Florida Beer News will have more information on this story as it becomes available.
