Green Bench Brewery

This weekend  while in St . Petersburg, Fl
My teacher friends and I headed to the Green Bench Brewery.  The Green Bench is named as a historical reference to the green benches that were found on the streets of St.Pete once apon a time.  Not only did this brewery have outstanding brews on tap to taste but they also have a great sense of pride and community making this a new favorite brewery of mine.  Like many breweries they give their bye product to local farms a win win for everyone  (who doesn't love to help out with the production of bacon) but they also work with a local bakery on making pretzels and another uses their beer in a spicy mustard.  This is not the only way that they are community oriented the building which houses their brewery is an old car parts shop they they restored this place is green in more than one way that is for sure. Now to what you have all been waiting patiently for, information on the brew, the day that I was there they had 14 beers on tap 2 of which were of the sour variety very interesting an oak aged which are my favorite and finally my favorite beer that passed my lips that day was a blend.  They had a coffee brew and a milk stout as I requested both of those in my flight the bar tender suggested that I mix the 2 together. Being the good listener that I am I drank both halfway which were fantastic on thier own mind you but mixed together amazing.  So if you like to try different craft beers and you are ever in the St . Petersburg are really this is a must, at least stop by for the free tour. One last snippet of advice, if the food truck is not there run across the street to the Bodega for a cuban sandwich it's a treat.
