Ybor's independent brewery since 2014 serves rotating taps and praised smoked meats that outshine the fryer-heavy menu.

Brisket and IPA beat wings every time at Coppertail

The Take

Order the brisket special or sausage plate with a core IPA like Free Dive at Coppertail Brewing Co. The Slop Score lands at 34 because house-smoked meats earn praise while standard wings, fries, and burgers flag fryer risks.

Independently owned Tampa spot since 2014 keeps 20 rotating beers fresh but defaults to pub classics that signal typical craft-brewery cope rather than clean execution.

The Verdict

Coppertail wins on smoked meats and independent taps but loses points on default fried fare. Get the based order or stay away.

Slop Score: 34
