Tasting rooms have become an important part of the craft beer movement, bringing people together in a convivial atmosphere that encourages conversation and the sharing of new sensory experiences. They also provide an opportunity for breweries to increase their cash flow and build a loyal customer base.

The design of a tasting room is important. Customers enjoy being able to see the brewing operation, taste limited-run beers, and interact with the brewers. A successful tasting room can also help a brewery to become part of the local community and encourage customers to try new beers.

Tasting rooms have been particularly successful in California and Vermont, with small breweries in Vermont pioneering the juicy, hazy IPA style. The popularity of tasting rooms has been driven in part by the millennial age group, who appreciate having a real-life outlet to engage with friends.

Beer varieties at other establishments

Beer can be broadly categorized into three types: lagers, ales, and hybrids. However, there are several beer styles and the specific beer served at an establishment depends on the availability and popularity of the beer in that region. Here are some beer varieties that are commonly found at establishments other than Green Bench Brewing Company:

• Pilsner: A pilsner is a type of lager that is characterized by its water, which can vary from neutral to hard. They are among the hoppiest lagers and generally have a dry, slightly bitter flavor. Their light golden color, clear body, and crisp finish make them a popular choice for summer.
• India Pale Ale (IPA): IPAs are known for their high levels of bittering agents, which give the beer a bitter taste. They are often brewed with extra hops to stabilize them for long journeys. American brewers have embraced the IPA style and introduced unusual flavors and ingredients to cater to the American preference for this brew style.
• Stout: Stouts are dark, roasted ales that taste less sweet than porters and often have a bitter coffee taste. They are characterized by a thick, creamy head. Ireland's Guinness is one of the world's most well-known stouts.
• Porter: Porters are known for their dark black color and roasted malt aroma and notes. They may have fruity or dry flavors depending on the variety of roasted malt used in the brewing process.
• Wheat Beer: Wheat beers are known for their soft, smooth flavor and hazy body. They tend to taste like spices or citrus and the Hefeweizen, or unfiltered wheat beer, is one of the more common styles.
• Sour Ale: Sour ales are crafted from wild yeasts and are known for their tart tang, which pairs well with tropical fruit and spices. Lambics, a type of Belgian sour beer mixed with fruit, and goses, a German sour beer made with coriander and sea salt, are two popular varieties.
• Brown Ale: Brown ales range in color from amber to brown and can have chocolate, caramel, citrus, or nut notes. The flavor and scent of brown ales can vary significantly depending on the malts used and the country of origin.
• Blonde Ale: Blonde ales have a pale color and a clear body. They tend to be crisp and dry, with few traces of bitterness, rather than being hop-heavy or dank.
• German-Style Altbier: This German ale style features a variety of malts that contribute to its medium-low to medium malt aroma and flavor. It has a toast aroma, often from Munich malts, and a hint of nuttiness. The hop flavor is more perceptible than the aroma, and it has a clean, dry finish.
• Berliner-Style Weisse: This is the lightest of all German wheat beers, with no malt sweetness and no hop presence. It has a sharp, refreshing sourness and is highly carbonated.

Green Bench Brewing Co. history

Green Bench Brewing Co. is a beer garden and tasting room located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The company gets its name from the fact that, in the early 1900s, St. Petersburg was known as "the City of Green Benches". At their peak, around 3,500 benches lined the downtown sidewalks, inviting people to slow down, relax, and socialise. The benches were a popular gathering place for residents and tourists alike, and were used to market the city.

However, these benches were established during segregation, and were off-limits to African Americans, as were most other city assets in the downtown area. Green Bench Brewing Co. aims to bring in a new era of the green bench, where the original spirit and purpose of the benches are truly available to all.

The company has a production capacity of 12,000 BBLs (372,000 gallons) annually. Their beer is produced on a custom-built, three-vessel, 15 BBL Brewhouse manufactured by JVNW in Oregon. This set-up allows them to brew up to 90 BBLs of wort in a 24-hour period. In their main production facility, they have 20 fermenters, with a total of 560 BBLs of fermentation capacity.

Green Bench Brewing Co. has a fully operational laboratory on-site, which is used daily to test the quality of their beer. They also have industry-leading canning line technology, built by CFT in Parma, Italy. This technology fills up to 6,000 12 oz cans per hour, giving them the flexibility to empty 60 BBLs in four hours, or 120 BBLs in eight hours.
