The concept began in Georgia and blossomed in Florida
The Rock Brothers concept began as an idea in Atlanta, GA and came to fruition at the zenith of Tampa Bay’s craft beer boom. The founders, and brewing partners at Cigar City Brewing see a synergy between music and fine craft beer.
“Music and beer have a lot in common. Both require hard work and commitment to create and both are born from the overlap of craft, art and passion. The opportunity to bring music and beer together with Rock Brothers was just too cool to pass up.” –Joey Redner of Cigar City Brewing
Their brews include a Nothing Too Fancy pale ale inspired by Umphrey’s McGee and an Amber Ale, which pays homage to 311. The tap room is currently open with limited hours.
