  • Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 204: Ulele, Part 1

    Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 204: Ulele, Part 1
    Apr 8 2026
    In 1903, a water pumping station was opened along the banks of the Hillsborough River in Tampa to supply fresh water to the growing Ybor City and residents beyond. After falling into disrepair for many years, it was purchased and heavily renovated by the 1905 Family of Restaurants to become Ulele, a destination offering pre-Columbian Florida-inspired cuisine and a rotation of local-inspired beers. In that time, Ulele has grown into a crown jewel and beloved destination along Tampa's much-visited Riverwalk. The beers, which you can enjoy along the 2.6-mile riverwalk, are the brainchild of Ulele's brewmaster Tim Shackton, who joined the Ulele team a full 2 years before the opening of the restaurant. Making sure Ulele is an important part of the fabric of Tampa's vibrant culture is Jeff Houck, VP of Marketing of the 1905 Family of Restaurants (best known for Columbia Restaurant, Florida's oldest restaurant). Jeff is a guru when it comes to all things Tampa History, even co-authoring a fantastic book about the history of the Cuban sandwich. I spoke to Tim and Jeff about Columbia's beer-related history, their location along the Hillsborough River and Tampa's Riverwalk, and the surprising beer style Ulele did not open with.
