Darwin Brewing Company eyes an opening date

Since announcing their intentions to build a production brewery in Bradenton, Darwin Brewing Company has been building momentum and constructing their new home. Well, their new home took one giant step closer to reality yesterday when their brewhouse was delivered.

Darwin Brewing Company’s new home at 803 17th Avenue West in Bradeton will be a 6,000 square foot warehouse, playing host to both the brewery and its tasting room.

When asked about the new brewery by the Bradenton Herald, Darwin Brewing Company owner, chef Darwin Santa Maria said that he will have his brewing license next month and if all goes well, possibly open “while the Pirates fans are still in town.”

“It’s still our goal: maybe we get the end of spring training,” he said. “But we believe we’re going to make things right. Spring training is not going anywhere, so people are going to be seeing what we’re doing over here and get excited.”
