Tampa's been getting a lot of good national press for its burgeoning tech scene, low cost of housing compared to other cities and strong job market.
Its latest accolade is a little a less notable, but a lot more tasty: It's one of seven cities named to the American Homebrewers Association nationwide list of up-and-coming homebrew hot spots. The AHA, according to a statement, looked at a number of factors, including proximity to craft breweries, homebrew clubs and membership and competition entries. Other cities on the list include:
Boise, Idaho
Minneapolis/St. Paul
Nashville
Phoenix
Rochester, N.Y.
Windsor, Calif.
