The Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for a new fun destination in historic District in Ybor City, The Florida Cane Distillery. It is right across the street from our old digs at MC FILM at 8th & 15th Street. A new change and relocation from the old East Tampa Industrial Park location they started distilling in 2012.
Open Thursday & Friday 3-9pm, Saturday 12-9 pm.
The well attended opening (why not there was free liquor) had Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, Tampa Council members Guido Maniscalco and Lisa Montelione in the greeting line with owners, Pat O’Brien and Lee Nelson. This small craft making gin & vodka distillery has a wide variety of Florida and local flavors. They include Plant City Strawberry (very delicious) , Weechi Wachi Watermellon, Orlando Orange, Gator Grape and Buccaneer Blueberry flavorings.
Available will be walking tours of the first Tampa craft distillery. Coming this summer will be classes on the distilling process. Another great addition to the historic flavor of historic Ybor City.
