Tampa Bay Brewery Southern Brewing & Winemaking Closing Soon

Southern Brewing & Winemaking, the longtime Seminole Heights brewery, winery, and taproom that’s been pouring pints since 2011, is shutting its doors after nearly three decades in the industry. Owners Brian and Kelly Fenstermacher shared the news in a farewell post on social media, telling loyal customers it’s simply time to hang up their brewing gear for good.

“Every great chapter eventually reaches its final page, and ours has been an incredible one,” the Fenstermachers wrote. “After three decades in the brewing industry, we’ve decided it’s time to retire. In the coming weeks, Southern Brewing & Winemaking will close its doors.”
