Sweaty armpits quickly dried up last Saturday when the Tampa Bay Lightning opened Benchmark International Arena<\/a> to fans looking to throw one back inside downtown\u2019s extremely air-conditioned hockey palace.<\/p>\n

At the ninth annual Bolts Brew Fest<\/a>, brewers both local and beyond took over not just the floor of Benchmark, but the concourse, too, for what felt like a laid back, libatious kegs party complete with locker room tours, slushy tequila, the loudest steinhoist ever, Stiegl shots, games, golf, Denis Phillips<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n
