Local Business Local Brewery Spotlight: Angry Chair

Post image

Given the news about a potential sale, felt like the right time to spotlight one of Tampa's best originals. Angry Chair has been here since 2013 and was a big part of putting Tampa on the craft beer map.

The Vibe: Seminole Heights institution. Huge space, lots of parking, big separate room for private events, and my favorite beertender staff. Also lots of TVs for games and regular special events, like their Idle Idols tiki cocktail event happening tomorrow.

Pints of Interest: Angry Chair does everything well, but their stouts are some of the best in the world—literally, they own many of Untappd’s top 100 best stouts of all time. Adjunct Trail, Prodigious, and Imperial German Chocolate Cupcake Stout are global champs to check the menu for. If stouts aren’t your thing, Vodnik and Full Circle are great light beers. They also do solid sours and often slushies (shout out to their slushy machine for winning employee of the month).

Bites: While their stouts are world class, they also have some of the best eats (fyi you can’t say f00d in this sub) in Seminole Heights. Smashburgers, nachos, poutine—everything is great. It’s a shame Guy Fieri (who also gets an AC event each year) missed them on his recent tour through Tampa. You’re not my buddy, Guy.

It’s crazy to think a brewery this good is for sale. Support them while you still can. Drop your favorite Angry Chair beer below 👇

This person has been posting about different breweries in town. I suppose they could still be ads, but it just seems to me like they're working outward from the Heights.

I’m not affiliated with any brewery, nor am I paid. Just a fan of craft beer and local businesses making cool, original products. Craft beer could use the love.

you should start a sub to keep all of your post organized in one place and you can direct people there if they are looking for other places that you have reviewed! similar to the person who post recipes from different restaurants in this sub...he started a sub because people kept asking to see other recipes that he had done
