Bolts Brew Fest Returns: Tampa’s Best Beer Bash of Summer

When the heat of summer wraps Tampa in its sticky embrace, there’s only one escape that calls louder than the crashing Gulf waves—a cold brew, a roaring crowd, and the echo of skates on ice. That’s right, Bolts Brew Fest is back, and it’s not just any beer festival. It’s Tampa Bay Lightning’s beloved celebration of hops, hometown pride, and high-energy hijinks—all set inside the beating heart of hockey in Florida: Amalie Arena.
