Grand Central Brewhouse is part of St. Pete's hyperlocal celebration of craft beer this weekend.

Downtown St. Pete’s Grand Central District is in a constant state of change, but one thing that doesn’t is its wide array of locally-owned breweries.

This weekend, If I Brewed the World (2200 1st Ave. S), Pinellas Ale Works (1962 1st Ave. S), 3 Daughters Brewing (222 22nd St. S) and Grand Central Brewhouse (2340 Central Ave.) are teaming up for their hyperlocal celebration of craft beer this weekend.

This year’s rendition of the Grand Central District Beer Day event is themed “The Dark Side” in a homage to Florida’s recent chilly weather, so folks can expect more opaque brews like stouts, porters and brown ales represented on these tap lists.

Each of the four breweries participating in this year’s GCBD will pour an exclusive beer in which $1 of every pint sold will benefit St. Pete’s Pet Pal Animal Shelter—a local nonprofit that any Pinellas Ale Works regular will surely recognize.

The breweries are also hosting individual raffles and prizes at each location; folks that get their punch cards stamped at each business can be entered to win the event’s elusive grand prize.

There’s no cover for the 5th Annual Grand Central District Beer Day happening Saturday, Feb. 10, but bring money for beer. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
