Background
Started by homebrewer-turned-pro Randy Reaver in May 2012, long before the Florida craft beer craze reached a fevered pitch.
Experience
We were excited to discover Three Palms Brewing in the Tampa area that brewed Gose. Five Gose style beer on tap! We made the circuitous journey from St Pete to east Tampa to the classic warehouse style brewery in an industrial park. Not much ambiance. It was a hot rainy Sunday and not many folks were out drinking beer. A small bar and a few rickety tables with folding chairs occupied the taproom. Unfortunately the air conditioning, if it existed, did not work. The beer was not cold enough to provide much relief. But the variety of gose was interesting and fairly tasty. Not the best we have a had, but a nice effort. A favorite for bloody beer drinkers was The Rooster Says. Other offerings included a lime/coconut, cherry, cucumber, and rosemary. There was more than just gose served. The IPA was decent as was the Disco Bot barrel aged with Brettanomyces. It is obvious these brewers are willing to experiment with styles and flavors of craft beer. We appreciate and support that! We noticed on the way out that the warehouse opened up to a nice outdoor space with corn hole set up. Looked like a good time on a nice weather day. The barkeep was especially friendly and knowledgeable about the local craft beer scene in Florida.
