#mowbeer

We are excited to be celebrating “4 MOW YEARS” this Saturday with all of you, our amazing friends and family! For those who have just discovered us, here is a little bit about us and details on the event. 

It all started with the desire to bring aggressive and interesting beers to the the Tampa Bay area. Jay and Colleen Dingman set out to create an atmosphere that was friendly, communal and open to all. "It's all about great beer for everyone" Said Colleen Dingman. This husband and wife team opened in Largo, FL, noticing the lack of a local brewery in a very large populated area that is primed for a boom. 

With the love of art, folklore and literature they set out to make brands that were a little darker and enticing rather than focus on the Florida Sunshine or coast. "This opens our brands up to have a life and story of their own and be larger than a geographical or regional area, it also has helped set us apart amongst the growing craft beer scene in FL", said owner Jay Dingman. 

This will be the last time we will be hosting the event at our current tavern location in Largo. By next year we will be in a brand new location.

The blazing days of summer are here and what better way to keep refreshed while enjoying these endless days, then with a crisp, bright and flavorful local shandy. Our Calliope (K-AH-LY-UH-PEE) Tart Cherry - Lemon Shandy is the perfect oasis for your palate. 

Our Summer seasonal is named after the legendary woodland fairy who feeds off the blood of unicorns. This tart fruit beer combines bushels of tart cherry and puckery lemon flavors balanced out by a crisp, light malt character. This refreshing shandy is made with the finest blend of organic tart cherries and Fresh From Florida Lemon Juice. Pairs well with Grilled Root Vegetables, Rhubarb Pie and Echanted Forests. 

For the Calliope label design we kept it local and worked with variety performance artist and great friend of the brewery Amanda Jay AKA “Mayven Misbehavin”, JS Fotography and artist Frank Zig to bring our woodland fairy to life.

Calliope cans will be available at our tavern starting TODAY. Make sure to pick up six pack and look for it on draft out in the world starting next week and all summer long. 

Words to describe beer are synonymous with the delicious and decadent food we eat. From toasted malt, smooth caramel character, to bitter chocolate, fresh cut citrus and fruit-like esters. Essentially, beer is food. 

With this is in mind we teamed up with Pinellas Chocolate Company, to create our Maven Chocolate Milk Stout.  Dark and Ominous This medium-bodied brew aged on Venezuelan cocoa nibs sourced from PCC, has interwoven flavors of dry roasted malt character, slight creamy sweetness, notes of cocoa, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. 

The Pinellas Chocolate Company are local Bean to Bar Chocolatiers. Here is more on this truly unique local company from their website : 

“Pinellas Chocolate is a family-owned chocolate maker, located in Pinellas County, Florida. Through our roots in confectionery R&D, we were introduced to the fascinating world of bean to bar chocolate while working on a contract project for a Hawaiian cacao grower.

Soon after that, we began experimenting with cocoa beans from all around the world. We learned how each step of the chocolate-making process influences the flavor and quality of the finished chocolate, and how each bean has it’s own unique flavor profile, depending on origin country, growing region, tree variety, and other factors.

As our trials continued to yield delicious results, it was only natural for us venture deeper into the world of bean to bar chocolate making. With the overwhelming support of our test batch recipients, we decided to turn our love for this special chocolate into a business and share it with you.

Our product line consists of single origin, Florida-inspired and seasonal varieties of bean to bar chocolate, to accommodate a variety of palettes and preferences. Regardless of which bar you choose, we think you’ll agree that Pinellas Chocolate is a delicious escape, ready any time to share with friends and family, or keep all to yourself!

We’d love to hear from you, you can reach us by phone at (727) 914-9866 or Email Us. “

As we continue to grow, we forge great partnerships along the way. Kings Street Food Counter in downtown Saint Petersburg is no exception. They have brought back the retro love of simple and great food. From the mint green colored seats and hand-painted signs adorning the walls, to hand-spun milkshakes and diner classics like the Royal Reuben, it’s like walking into a time capsule from the 50′s with a modern vibe.

We wanted to offer a beer that is classic and timeless, just like the atmosphere and food at Kings Street - what better than a nice, steady, golden ale. Just like the restaurant itself, King Street Golden Ale is tried and true. Lots of clean and mild malt flavors throughout, followed by a subtle citrus hop character. Crisp, clean and refreshing.  

They are taking things a step further by infusing the beer into a few of their more popular items. 

                                            ‘Merica Poutine 

Crinkle cut fries, beer chili, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, sour cream and bacon 

                                                 East L.A

Hot dog served with swiss, pastrami, chili, chopped onions, spicy mustard,

                                        wrapped in a burrito 

                                              Nacho Libre
