On tap

It started with a wish to create a special beer-battered fish recipe for his St. Pete Italian restaurant, Bella Brava.

Before he knew it, Mike Harting was offering his chef's homebrew beer on tap. What went from Chef Ty Weaver brewing once a month quickly escalated to brewing two or three times a week at 2 a.m. to keep up with demand. When Harting realized that Weaver's beer was the No. 1 beer on tap, accounting for more than 30% of beer sales at the restaurant, he asked, “Well, what next?”

That's when 3 Daughters Brewing was born.
