Redner to open brewery, sell beer
Redner and his son Joey are hoping to open the microbrewery by September. The brewery will be at the elder Redner’s headquarters on Spruce Street, near Dale Mabry Highway.
The pair want to sell the beer to a distributor, who would then sell the brew to restaurants, bars and liquor shops. They also would give patrons tours of the brewery and samples. If customers like the beer, they would be able to buy more at the gift shop
He said he has no plans to sell pints of beer or turn the venture into a bar. His goal is simple, he said: Produce about 2,000 barrels a year and focus on local flavors, such as exotic fruits. He wants Cigar City Brewing to be the go-to microbrewery in Tampa.
The brewery would be in the Redner Enterprises complex, which already includes a lighting company and offices. Joe Redner plans to turn a vacant building into a boxing gym for amateurs and children in the Carver City/Lincoln Gardens neighborhood.

Should be a successful endeavour. People are looking for something different with their beer, and the local flavor (literally) created by this micro-brewry should hit the spot!
