In the heart of downtown St. Pete there is a tale of a witch that has a skilled trait in brewing some of the best craft brews around. It is said that the staff’s knowledge and passion about these American craft brews is somewhat scary! Don’t let the witch or the wise staff scare you away though, The Ale and the Witch in downtown St. Pete is a local favorite and incredibly friendly to newcomers and regulars alike!
All jokes aside, The Ale and the Witch is a bar with three unique qualities that sets itself apart from the rest, not including its name. The first would be the craft beer. There are over 30 American Craft brews that are frequently rotated, all of which are small batch productions in the United States. The real time tap menu can be found on their official website, here, with the names of the current brews on tap as well as their percentages.
The second unique quality that sets The Ale and the Witch apart from other bars in St. Petersburg, is their art gallery. Here you will find works from talented local artists with the option to purchase. Vibrant colors, abstract shapes and a long cozy couch surrounding the small gallery all add to what makes The Ale and the Witch special for so many.
The third attribute that makes this brewhouse a local favorite is none other than the live music played. Nearly every evening, a local band sets up out front of The Ale and the Witch, to delight listeners with tunes of Blues, Bluegrass, Rock, Jazz, Folk and other musical genres. It is hard to imagine a better atmosphere to enjoy great craft beer in St. Pete.
American owned craft beer, interesting artwork and talented local musicians… what more could one ask for? So grab your broomsticks, bikes or buds and head out to The Ale and the Witch to experience a different way to enjoy quality craft beer.
