It is impossible to ignore what Tidal Brewing in Spring Hill used to be in a former life.

The gas station pumps have long since been removed but the overhang remains, as well as the separate car wash that has been turned into a brewhouse. And an award-winning brewhosue, no less.

That work was done by owners Dave and Maxine Peitzman, both former teachers in Hernando County turned brewmaster and tap room manager for one of the area's hottest breweries. I sat down with Dave and Maxine to discuss beer in the region, how Tidal reflected their own backgrounds in education, and the joys of converting a car wash to a brewhouse.

There is nothing more cozy, warm, and inviting than a British pub. With deep colors, understated pub signs, and tons of Premier League scarves covering every potential space, the new Green Turtle Brewery and Public House on Central in St. Pete does everything right to appease our friends from across the pond.

Green Turtle is owned by its brewer Todd Bearden. His brewing path began in St. Louis while in school for theatre, so we spoke to him about that experience, finding the right location for Green Turtle, and the depth of a good cask ale program.
