RUN
The Tampa Beer Run is the first-ever run we covered on our show. So when it returned, we had to come back to run. There are four beer stops on the course, which is enclosed inside Al Lopez Park in Tampa. It is always a great time with great people to meet and delicious local beers on the course. The medal? Your pint glass. Your shirt? Always a unique color, this year a light blue. This race never disappoints.
This run has supported many worthwhile causes, and this year is no exception. Tampa Bay Humane Society was the charity, and the volunteers who were at the beer stops were so eager to appreciate runners and talk about their organization with fellow dog lovers on the course.
EAT
The Tampa Beer Run not only had post-run beer for sale through the Beer-Bu-Lance but had a great local food truck with flavorful BBQ we could smell cooking while we were still on the course running! Sue-Pig BBQ LLC was there to satisfy our BBQ craving, and it was everything we wanted and more. Dana had to try the BBQ because Aimee was still on the #75Hard. Aimee got to have the vegan offering from the truck: French Fries. Both were glorious! Check them out on FaceBook and at their website!
DRINK
Tampa Beer Run had beer stops, and Dana sampled all of the beer on the course! They all came from local breweries, including:
The following beers were on the course:
Beer stop #:
#1 - Coppertail: Free Dive - IPA
#2 - Motorworks: V-Twin - Vienna Lager
#3 - Big Storm: Tropic Pressure - Golden Ale
#4 - Flying Boat Brewery: St. Pete Sunset - Juicy IPA & Crescent Lake - Pilsner
Dana’s favorite? The V-Twin Vienn
THAT’S A WRAP!
