Suds on the bus

Anthony Derby, in college in 2011 in Boulder, Colo., was impressed by Banjo Billy Tours, a company that used a roofless broken down school bus to tour local craft breweries.

So impressed, he told his parents about it back home in Tampa.

At the time, Derby's mom, Toni Derby, was president of Cigar City Brewing in Tampa and his dad, Brian Derby, worked in construction services. Anthony Derby and his parents agreed it was a promising idea, and decided to test it out. They rented a two-year old passenger bus, from Naples, to test the concept in Tampa when Anthony Derby was still in college. Within a year Derby graduated and moved back home to expand on the concept and start brewing Brew Bus's own line of beer.
