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.

Bottleshare at Chez Frog. Thanks to me. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, slightly viscous, decent fine carbonation. Super rich dark chocolate malts, dark chocolate Malteasers. The barrelling is there but lightly done. Soft bourbon soaked fruits, fruity rum on the back end, some alcohol spice. The peanut seems to be quite light to me but others say it's clear. A rich and rewarding treat.
