To add to my post last week, World of Beer will open its door Friday at 5526 4th St. N, St. Petersburg. Beer and wine starts at $4. There will be a grand opening celebration early in December, stay tuned.

Says co-owner Philippe Theodore, “When I first stumbled upon WOB some 2 and a half years ago I was intrigued, the founders had re-created the ambiance of a local European pub or tavern and added a distinct American twist- live acoustic music and a seemingly unlimited and instantly accessible assortment of  domestic micro brews and beers from across the globe.”

With 40 taps rotated weekly, and 500 beers from around the world, World of Beer 4th Street is for the discerning beer connoisseur and the casual drinker alike. The smoke-free and comfortable locale boasts an outdoor area, several flats-screen TVs, a private loft  and a staff of  knowledgeable beer experts.
