UPDATE OCT 2017: New World had to shut down their Ybor location because it was a leased facility and the facility was sold for a new development project in Ybor. New World will be setting up a new facility in Seminole Heights in 2018. I will have a new post once this new facility is open.
One of my favorite spots in Tampa. Located in Ybor City which is a historic “cigar” area founded by Italian, Cuban and Spanish immigrants in the late 1800’s. New World Brewery was a brewery long ago but now it serves some of the best craft beer in town. They have a great draft and bottle selection including a great Belgian beer selection. They are also the spot to watch indie bands on the weekends and also have a great barbecue lunch during the week. Their standard menu includes pizza, hummus platter, and wings. Their courtyard is shaded and offers a nice cool spot to relax on those hot steamy Tampa summer days. The staff will help you find a beer that suits your taste. We love Dean, Joann, Jen, Chris and all the servers at New World. We have never had a bad experience. It is located at 1313 8th Avenue, Tampa, FL (http://www.newworldbrewery.net). We are only about a 20 minute drive away and it is our favorite spot after work on FRI or during the day on SUN. The day I took these pictures, I had two Florida beers.
One was the Motorworks Roll Cage Red Ale. It was a hoppy red ale which was very nice a crisp and not as sweet as a typical red ale. I rated it a 3.5/5.0 on Untapp’d. You can find out more at http://motorworksbrewing.com. They are located in Bradenton, FL (not far away) so I will check in another post in the future once I visit their tasting room. The other beer I had is from a new brewery in Tampa called Coppertail Brewing Co. I have not been there yet because it just opened (across from IKEA). I had their Free Dive IPA and was very impressed. I rated it a 4.0/5.0 on Untapp’d. Very nice California style IPA. For a new brewery this is a fantastic beer and I would have to say this will be their flagship.http://coppertailbrewing.com.
