Cage Brewing Opens
St. Pete is for beer lovers. Cage Brewing has just joined the city's unreal lineup of local breweries. Located at 2001 1st Avenue South, Cage Brewing features exceptional beer and, much like Green Bench and 3 Daughters Brewing, will host concerts featuring the best local and traveling bands in the country.
The facility is the kind of place where you go to enjoy the big game, meet the brightest minds in St. Pete, pen your irreverent opus, and immerse yourself in the latest Edgar Award-winning book.
Their brews include the popular Galaxy Cat IPA and, our personal favorite, Grand Central Red. They also have three guest ciders on tap.
Cage will host a grand opening party on February 27 with a live multimedia art exhibition. They're currently accepting submissions from local artists working in all media: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, printmaking, performance, video, film audio, graphic art. You can submit your art via email to cagebrewingbooking@gmail.com. They request you include your name, number, address, medium and size/dimensions of your work. Deadline is February 1.
