ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. â As many struggle due to the pandemic, the opening of a St. Pete brewery illustrates Tampa Bayâs business resiliency.
After retiring from a career in insurance, Kevin Milkey took a risk, opening Grand Central Brewhouse in December.
âDefinitely been a dream come true to finally open,â said Milkey.
Grand Central Brewhouse, located at 2340 Central Avenue, is an expansive indoor/outdoor space that offers a beer garden, games, and taproom.
The new business in St. Peteâs Grand Central District created two-dozen jobs.
âWe can do this safely, we can do this responsibly without making every Friday night a super spreader event,â said Sean Nordquist, Executive Director of the Florida Brewers Guild.
