Brewpubs tapping into love of good beer in Tampa Bay area

On Saturday, the third annual Craft Beer Expo at the Coliseum in St. Petersburg will feature more than 100 beers from such well-known microbrewers as Rogue, Dogfish Head, Terrapin and Bells. Local brewers, including Cigar City Brewing, St. Somewhere Brewing and Tampa Bay Brewing Co., will be there, too. The expo is expected to draw a high percentage of beer geeks — the ones who brew their own and can describe in great detail the difference between an India pale ale and American pale ale. Here's a look at what to expect.
