World of Beer , a 13-store chain of bars out of Tampa, is coming to North Hills East. The bar will open in the base of the CapTrust tower in July. From their website:

A Craft Beer is one made with the enthusiasm and passion to be different, outside of the norm. A Craft Brewer is one that takes a beer from history and puts a spin on it to make it their own. A brewer that only uses high quality ingredients in the effort to create a beer that can be enjoyed by many. The concept behind beer started back in 6000 B.C. as a nutritional source. Now, beer has become a huge part of the world’s culture, the part that brings people together.

World of Beer is the “Craft Brewer” of beer bars. Whether you are an experienced beer drinker or someone who is just curious to learn, we have the right beer for you. At WOB, you’re not going to be looked down upon if you don’t know what an IPA is, but our staff will be ready to explain the history to you. They’ll also describe the style, give you a sample of one on draft, and then recommend a few others. Passion, hard work, and the thirst for a good beer is what drives us to bring in the best products from around the world. We started as a single bar that exposed great beer to a small community. We now bring communities together, to form our own “WOB Culture,” a culture that enjoys sitting around a table surrounded by good people, good music, and great beer.

No word so far as to how the bar will get around the state’s liquor laws which essentially require a bar to sell a decent proportion of food:alcohol or if they will have to be a “private club” requiring a membership.
