Foeder For Thought returns in 2025! Alongside our good friend Michael Kiser, founder of Good Beer Hunting, we are excited to invite you to join us at our 10th annual festival of fermentation forward beers during Tampa Bay Beer Week! Foeder for Thought will be held on Friday, March 7th, 2025 from 5pm-10pm.

This year, we are continuing to combine the celebration all things fermentation forward with the 6th Anniversary of Webb’s City Cellar - extending the festival onto Baum avenue with live entertainment throughout our campus.

As in years past, we create an elevated and unique experience by blurring the boundaries between consumer and producer. Every year we work to broaden Foeder for Thought and maximize the experience while maintaining a clear and memorable event unlike any other. That's why, for the first time, we are working with BeyLoved Pairings to curate delicious and thoughtful food pairings with each producer. Foeder for Thought will remain open to the public, but the pairings are exclusive to VIP ticket holders. Tickets include custom Foeder for Thought merch, and a streamlined experience designed to remove as many barriers between you and the celebration as possible. Everyone will have access to the festival beers as well as the one-on-one discussions with the five brewery producers, led by Michael Kiser. We couldn't be more thrilled to share the night with you, and as always, thank you.

Here's what you can expect:

- 20 world class fermentation forward beers from breweries across the globe

- 4 beers from each Guest Brewery

- Each beer available for purchase by the glass affiliated with the festival at Green Bench Brewing Co. and Webb’s City Cellar

- Panel discussions hosted by Michael Kiser of Good Beer Hunting

- Commemorative merchandise

- Live entertainment embracing the spirit and fun of Webb’s City Cellar

We will chat about relevant industry topics, get opinions, laugh, and raise a glass to these special beers. Yes, there will be a lot of drinking, talking, hanging with friends, but our focus is on what and why these beverages are so special to us. Our passion, our focus, our attention is on fermentation forward products, and expanding our growth and knowledge in that realm.
