Angry Chair Brewing
Tampa, Florida, United States
The ultimate plan at Angry Chair Brewing is to brew beers that we like to drink. Right now we like to drink more sessionable styles: hoppy pale ales, Berliner weisses, low ABV saison, and other easy-drinkers. We plan to lean on these styles for our core beers. However, one thing we absolutely believe to be true is that the public will be choosing our “core” beers for us: if you like the beer, we will keep brewing it.

King State
Tampa, Florida, United States
King State is all about family. We’re a coffee roaster, brewery, and whatever else we want to be (and we used to be a cocktail bar and restaurant, too). Both of our founders (Tim McTague and Nate Young) toured in bands for most of their lives. In 2013 after those bands broke up, the idea to start a coffee roaster began to brew over many nights in a back yard, drinking beers and smoking cigars. The big idea was to give something back to their hometown of Tampa, FL after it poured so much into them for so long. Though the focus of King State will always be Florida Forever, our coffee is enjoyed all over the world. In 2019 we opened our first brick and mortar cafe in Tampa Heights, where we serve made-from-scratch breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee and beers ALL DAY. We love what we do. Oh, and our founders are brothers-in-law. See. Told you it was about family.

Leaven Brewing
Riverview, Florida, United States
We love beer. We love beer so much that we fell in love with each other while drinking beer. We then got married at a brewery, (go ahead, ask us which one) and decided the next logical option was to open our own. We are Jillian and KJ Lynch, the owners of Leaven Brewing Company. KJ's been steeping grain and boiling wort for nearly a decade and we're happy to be Riverview's first brewery.
