USA, FL: Silverking Brewing Company opens in Tarpon Springs

The old Tarpon Springs firehouse, a 1950s-era addition to what was previously the local jail, built more than 100 years ago, is now home to Silverking Brewing Company, Tampabay.com reported on July 13.

Silverking Brewing takes its inspiration from the Tarpon Springs’s heritage. The city's roots as a fishing village are reflected in the decor.

A trend in bar decor lately is using lots of reclaimed wood and industrial fixtures to create a rustic look. At Silverking Brewing, this aesthetic feels authentic.

Silverking Brewing's brewmaster has been a home brewer for several decades, and this experience is evident in the solid construction of these beers.

Silverking Brewing is a modest entry into the bay area brewing scene, but it's a perfect fit for downtown Tarpon Springs. Its Old Florida vibe plays well, due to the fact that it's housed in a century-old building with significant ties to Tarpon Springs' past. Next time you take a trip to Tarpon Springs, take in some local flavour down at the old jailhouse.
