Tampa Heights, Florida Tasting Room to Conclude Operations, December 20
Hidden Springs Ale Works has announced that it is preparing to relocate its community tasting room, concluding operations at its current Tampa Heights location at the close of service on Sunday, December 20, 2026.
Crucially, the brewery is not halting production or going out of business. Brewhouse operations and wholesale distribution will continue without disruption. Consumers and retail partners will continue to find Hidden Springs Ale Works’ lineup of craft beers on draft and in cans across local grocery stores, independent bottle shops, bars, and restaurants throughout all existing markets.
The decision to relocate follows a recent change in property ownership and a divergence in vision for the parcel, which has shifted toward a different hospitality format. Rather than alter its core model, Hidden Springs Ale Works made the conscious choice to remain dedicated to its founding mission: independent, craft-forward brewing and an accessible, community-first environment for its neighbors.
Alongside fellow family-owned businesses, Hidden Springs Ale Works helped pioneer the Yellow Brick Row corridor into the vibrant destination it is today, and ownership is now actively evaluating new sites for a permanent forever home that aligns with its roots.
“Tampa Heights has been our home, and we are incredibly proud of what our team and neighbors built” said Josh Garman, Co-founder and CEO of Hidden Springs Ale Works. “Closing our physical doors is bittersweet, but a brewery is made of people, not drywall. We stayed true to what we love and who we are, and that will not change. Our brand is still here, and we are excited to write the next chapter in a space built for the long haul.”
Final Service Schedule and Operational Details
Between now and December 20, the tasting room will welcome patrons on a focused schedule to celebrate the neighborhood and share a final toast:
Thursday through Sunday: Thu 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM | Fri – Sat 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM | Sun 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Final Service & Community Farewell: Sunday, December 20, 2026
The brewery encourages community members to visit during these final weeks to celebrate the memories made in the space, purchase four-packs and merchandise to-go, and show support for the dedicated tasting room staff who are the heartbeat of the tasting room.
