Amazing news that WOB is coming to TV! This is a place where you go to drink a variety of international, quality beer. NOT a place where you find "happy hours" and $1 drafts. I hope enough people support it for what it is and go for quality over quantity rather than quantity of quality.

Give me a choice of a 2 for 1 of a beer like Sam Adams or Land Shark at Cody's or $4.95 or more for one beer at World of Beer and I will take the 2 for 1 anytime.

Happy Hour at Palmer Country Club offers 2 for 1 on all their drinks including bottle beers. That is an excellent deal in the afternoon after a round of golf.

If that is where the eqpt ended up .... the fine folks at Swamp Head Brewery - Home are putting it to very good use!! :clap2:

No one is complaining. The comments about whether or not customers would be coming in big enough numbers to World of Beer are not complaints. In order to stay in business, they must generate enough customers to have a profit. Can this be done without Happy Hour pricing during a part of the day or not is not a complaint.

I used to work for a business in Brownwood. The manager got a list of all the stores and restaurants that were coming within the next 2 years and Trader Joe's was one of them. So was Cheesecake Factory!

Must have been a pretty short employment since Brownwood has not been open that long with only a few stores!

If anyone is that curious, there is a WORLD OF BEER in Clermont. We drove by it today, it's about a 35 minute drive from the south end of TV, you can take either US 27 or the Florida Turnpike. We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings which is just across the parking lot. I didn't see much business in the place, it has big glass windows all across the front. It sits on the corner near the Apex Theater. It's the same shopping center as the JC Penny.

BWW wasn't very crowded either, might of been everybody had enough of the sports bars yesterday for Super Bowl. Maybe next time we'll stop in WOB. Their website shows entertainment on Friday & Saturday. For a change of pace we've been going to Clermont, they have a Pennys, Target, Kohls and Belks that are all recently built in the last 3 years or so. Also, it nice to go to the Lake Ridge Winery, which is just north of Clermont.

This Paul Avery: Expansion on tap for World of Beer in 2013 - Tampa Bay Business Journal article says they allow you to order delivery of food into their business so you can eat while you drink. That seems interesting. I haven't been to a WOB but certainly look forward to giving it a try.

It will be interesting to watch the new square develop and grow.

The Daily Sun Construction Update shows "late summer or early fall."

In our early days, (2005\2006) there was no decent beer in TV and the supermarkets stocked more of the same American collection, which all taste pretty much the same. Over time both Sweetbayand Publix have added a nice selection of craft beer to choose from. Who said, "Everything comes to he who waits," should have added "If you can hold out long enough."

Well, we will just have to come back again later in the year!! :beer3:
I now there is a store down on the 27/41 south which stocks different beverages from around the world, so will have to stop there on the way up. Shame, as we do like to shop in local stores etc..
