Happy National Craft Distillery Day! 🥃

We're raising a glass to a pair of Tampa Bay spirit houses. Gamblers Bay Distillery is a family-owned gem blending over 120 years of Romanian distilling tradition with Florida flavor. Every bottle is crafted with care and local ingredients, from award-winning Florida Farm Vodka to bold Navy One Spiced Rum and tropical Florapina Guava Rum.

📍 Visit Gamblers Bay's tasting room at 6101 Johns Rd., Suite 7 in Tampa for tours and tastings every Friday and Saturday!

82 West Distilling refers to the longitude line that passes directly through Tampa Bay, which is fitting as it was the first craft rum distillery with Tampa's city limits. Owned and operated by Navy veteran Jeremy Nelson, 82 West Distilling develops rum varieties through constant experimentation until finding the perfect balance of flavors to evoke a celebration of rum's centuries-long history as the preferred beverage of sailors and seafarers.

📍 Visit 82 West's tasting room at 6430 N. Florida Ave. in Tampa every day of the week.
