Tampa Bay Ale Trail

01/09/2026

What an amazing year it’s been! Thank you for all the support of the Tampa Bay Ale Trail and Tampa Bay Beer Week over the years.

While 2026 looks a little different for us, our gratitude—and our commitment to the craft beer community—remains the same. We can’t wait to celebrate the success of the Ale Trail and its incredible contribution to our local beer scene with you at
Troubled Waters Brewing.

This will be the biggest Ale Trail party yet, and we hope to see you there! 🍻

See you at Florida Avenue Brewing Co in Seminole Heights on Sunday January 18th from 2-4Pm!

Thank you to all of our amazing Hikers who have supported the Tampa Bay Ale Trail initiative each and every year!

As the Tampa Bay Craft Beer climate is constantly changing, so must the Trail.

That said, there will not be a 2026 Passport. It may return in the future in a similar format or a very different format, but for now the Tampa Bay Ale Trail is officially on “pause”.

In the meantime, we will shift to more of a “social group meetup” style program. We will let you know where and when we will be through the TBAT Hikers - Trailhead group on FaceBook. We hope you continue to show up each month to enjoy some fellowship because we love hanging out with you all!

Again, THANK YOU for supporting the Trail the past 8 years!!! Please continue to support local breweries with us or in your own way!

Worry less, hike more. ”

P.S. We will be posting information and details on our December and January meetups soon! Stay tuned!

We hope you all had a great August and enjoyed HalfWay There (those that joined us)! We are staying a little closer to home this month by hosting our meetup at deBine Brewery. Bring your books to redeem those stamps, get your pins, and maybe even a challenge coin (if you've finished the book!) We can't wait to see you all there!

We try to do TWO meetups in July since it’s summer. So our SECOND July meetup is on a SUNDAY 7/27 at Bootleggers Brewing!
We have all the pins available and the new 2025 Challenge Coin. We also have lanyards available for purchase if you need a way to display your pins! We hope everyone is enjoying the trail so far this year! Have you closed out any regions? Are you ready for that challenge coin? Don’t forget, the coin helps solve the puzzle.... who’s ready for the challenge??
