The St. Pete/Clearwater Craft Beer Trail highlights more than 25 breweries in 24 distinct communities – all within a compact area.

Plan your trip to discover friendly tasting rooms and unique brews, then linger in the surrounding towns. From north to south, don’t miss these highlights.

Saint Somewhere Brewing Company, Tarpon Springs

Near the historic sponge docks of this waterside community, Saint Somewhere sources Belgian malt and wheat to craft farmhouse ales in the traditional Belgian style: unfiltered and re-fermented in the bottle for a complex finish. Plan in advance to attend a bottling session or take the tour (with samples!).

Dunedin Brewery

Florida’s oldest microbrewery is tucked into the walkable town of Dunedin. Stroll, shop, then stop into the brewery for pub fare, entertainment and small-batch brews. The taps cover styles from Kölsch to Dunkel, but the most popular pour is the Apricot Peach Ale. Tours are available for $5.

As Florida's oldest microbrewery, Dunedin Brewery has perfected a variety of styles.

Rapp Brewing Company, Seminole

Greg Rapp’s 20 taps reflect his heritage (his great-grandfather was a German brewer). Expect traditional styles you’ve heard of – and some you haven’t, from a tangy Gose to a chocolate hazelnut porter. Ask any team member for a tour of the intimate facility.

Cycle Brewing, St. Petersburg

Cycle Brewing may seem laid-back with its downtown sidewalk seating and session IPAs, but this brewery operates a serious barrel project. Ask what’s on tap; the selection might have been aged in bourbon, cognac, tequila, whiskey or scotch barrels.
