The tradition is back! After two years away, Halfway There: A Celebration of Beer which marks the midpoint to Tampa Bay Beer Week returns to Tampa’s Armature Works. This is our primary fundraiser and your attendance is the best way to help us make TBBW bigger and better each year. We invite dozens of breweries, both near and far, to share their finest offerings that best represent Tampa Bay’s beer culture.
Armature Works is a strikingly beautiful event space offering an upscale food court, a myriad of scenic lounge options, and breathtaking views of the Hillsborough River. Ticket holders to Halfway There may come and go as they please to explore all the varied food options on-site.
While Armature Works has ample parking, we strongly encourage the use of ride share and public transportation. We cannot guarantee there will be close parking as weekends are busy. Designated driver tickets will be available for $20. No one without a ticket will be admitted into the event. This includes designated drivers. In the event of a sellout, we encourage anyone considering being a DD to simply enjoy the offerings at Armature Works.
This event is strictly 21 and up, and pets are not allowed. We love kids, dogs, cats, and other friendly critters, but this is a beer event designed for adults. For everyone’s safety and comfort, there will be no exceptions to this rule.
What does the ticket get you? Entry to the event from 2-6pm, unlimited pours of all offerings from all 64 breweries, commemorative 5oz tasting glass, cloth wristband. There is no purchasing of beer inside the event. One ticket, one time, one access for all. This event is 100% indoors in the large event space called the Gathering at Armature Works. It runs parallel to the food hall. Entry to the event is in the space called the Social Room.
