Beer'd: Beer brewers, tastings, reviews

The Brew Garden
904 N Mcmullen Booth Rd
Clearwater, FL 33759

The Brew Garden is a upscale new hangout in Clearwater serving up a cornucopia of indulgent delights. The overall theme is Belgian—which can be seen by the lovely mural of a street in Bruges on one of the walls. They have over 30 delicious brews on tap (many Belgians) as well as large imported bottles and some regular bottles of more common beer. This place is far more than the average tap house though. They are open from dawn ‘til midnight offering delicious Kona coffee and espresso drinks with unbelievable pastries (usually filled with Belgian chocolate), as well as sandwiches and various hors d'oeuvres to enjoy with a goblet of Abbey ale. The service there is fantastic and the owners are all great people. The atmosphere is classy but casual and everyone is very friendly. It is a nice place to hang out without being surrounded by frat boys, AKA perfect. Every Wednesday this month they are having a different beer company coming and giving away swag and samples, I’ll be there!

Some of the beers they offer on tap: St. Bernardus Apt 12, Unibroue TerriblĂ©, Maudite, & Trois Pistoles, Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, Chimay Triple, Duchesse De Bourgogne, Delirium Tremens, Cigar City Bolita Brown Ale, Arrogant Bastard, and many more.
