USA, FL: St. Pete Brewing Company opens in St. Petersburg

St. Pete Brewing Co., which has already made a name for itself with its St. Pete Orange Wheat and others, opened in St. Petersburg. The brewery was originally set to open in November, but the federal government shutdown in October slowed up the works for owners Tom and Michele Williams, holding up their Brewer's Notice application, Tampabay.com reported on April 9.

Since that time, permitting, construction issues in the 100-year-old building and other problems further slowed the opening of St. Petersburg's newest brewery. But the tasting room opened to friends and family on April 9, and the doors opened to the public on April 10.
