Description
Hidden Springs Ales Works is a craft brewery in the greater Tampa Heights neighborhood just north of down town Tampa.
We were born from the minds of Joshua Garman and Austin Good (two local guys who loved to brew), and we joined the neighborhood in September of 2015. Yellow Brick Row has become our home away from home, and we hope that it is your’s as well. So, swing by the Tasting Room, find yourself a seat, and enjoy one of our beers. There’s always room for more at the bar.

Sampled from bottle at "Hooghe Noorden Tasting 2025". Opaque pitch black color, no head. Heavy cocoa, vanilla and cocos. Flavor is malts, cocos, cocoa, vanilla, lactose. Solid, but just a bit too much lactose, cocos and vanilla for me.

Bottle at home shared by Joen. Opaque black color, average sized off-white to beige head. Aroma is malts, very very sweet and heavy vanilla. Flavor is also heavy vanilla and cloyingly sweet, a bit boozy, sugary. Over the top, way too sweet and way too much vanilla for me.

Draft pours deep red with small white head that reduces to lace. Crisp mouthfeel with tart berry flavors that linger on the finish. Very nice sour ale!

Can pours clear gold lively with carbonation and crowned with thick froth that quickly reduces to thin foam. A silky mouthfeel coats your tongue with mild lemon-citrus bitterness that lingers. Very nice ale! Purchased from TraderJoe’s, St Petersburg, FL.
