Drinking Local Brew Could Help Needy Family Get New Home

ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County is joining forces with eight Pinellas County craft breweries to raise funds to a build home for a family in need.

Participating breweries include Big Storm Brewing Co. of Clearwater, 3 Daughters Brewing, Cage Brewing, Dissent Craft Brewing, Flying Boat Brewing Co. and Pinellas Ale Works of St. Petersburg; Mastry’s Brewing Co. of St. Pete Beach and Silverking Brewing Co. of Tarpon Springs.

On Feb. 9, the breweries will host the House That Beer Built Craft Beer Festival at Ferg's Sports Bar & Grill, 1320 Central Ave., St. Pete.
