Anclote Brew

We stumbled upon this little gem on a day trip to Tarpon Springs and walking around the immensely touristy (and also historic) area. Being that we are craft beer fans, we were immediately drawn to the line-up of local craft beers they had available on tap. As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a friendly bartender who was generous with his knowledge of the local breweries, which made for a great and interesting conversation.

My only gripe is that they don't have more things on tap. But considering it was not a large bar and they also had to cater to the non-craft beer-drinking folks, it was understandable. I hope they will stick around and grow.

Time was unfortunately not our side and we only had time to share one drink before we were due to return to Orlando, but we were allowed to sample a few of them. We definitely want to return the next time we are anywhere near Tarpon Springs, and will bring our friends with us, too!

I've gone several times since they opened recently.  A fresh new beer bar in a historic location. In the Sponge Exchange of Tarpon Springs, a building originally built in 1908, sits a friendly inviting beer bar with a beer selection that focuses on the best the local craft breweries have to offer as well as some of the better craft beers available around the country.
