Motorworks Brewing to celebrate first anniversary

Motorworks Brewing Company has had a banner year in the first of its operation.

The brewery has an ever-rotating tap list of beer in its unique Bradenton beer garden, including one that won a bronze medal at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. The brewery has released two barrel-aged beers from the cellar and continues to grow their following.

Now that first year has come to an end and the second year has begun, Motorworks is taking time to celebrate.

From the Motorworks Newsletter:

On Saturday, January 24th, 2015, Motorworks will celebrate their first anniversary.

The party will feature live music from Whiskey Blind at 7pm and $5 flights of house beer. There will also be a first anniversary beer pouring that day, a Carrot Cake Ale.

Motorworks Brewing to pour barrel-aged brews on Black Friday

Black Friday has become the day when crazy deals bring even modest shoppers out into the retail wilderness. Local craft breweries have caught on to this madness and, in recent years, have done their best to be a port in the storm for weary Christmas shoppers. This year, Motorworks Brewing will stop teasing photos and hints of their barrel-aged beers and pour them on Black Friday.

From Motorworks Newsletter:

Don’t fight the holiday crowds this year! Instead come treat yourself to some very Limited Edition Special Releases, including our Barrel Aged Barleywine, Barrel Aged Tamarind Brown Ale, and Russian Imperial Stout, available both on draft and for the first time ever, in the bottle also! Mark you calendars for “Big Beer Black Friday” now! November 28th, 2014!

Motorworks Brewing is located at 1014 Ninth Street West in Bradenton.

Darwin Brewing introduces Tap It! Thursdays

Darwin Brewing Company of Bradenton has been working to get their feet under them in the new production brewery. Brewmaster Jorge Rosabal has been cranking out Darwin beers and working towards canning and keeping kegs stocked while the tasting room rolls along. According to a recent Darwin newsletter, Darwin’s will now also be participating in a new Florida tradition: tapping a limited beer on a weekly basis.

From the Darwin Brewing Newsletter:

Darwin Brewing Company is proud to announce the beginning of a series of limited release beers –

These beers, made on our brewery’s mini-system, allows DBC’s Pilot System Brewer Mike Rogers to experiment with new styles, new flavors, and new ingredients…
These beers will be one-and-done – meaning, typically, there will only be one small keg of each beer — once it’s, it’s gone!

The next tapping of the Pilot System Series will be on Thursday, November 6th, when the doors to the Tap Room open at 4pm – and will continue every Thursday thereafter.

Darwin Brewing is located at 803 17th Avenue West in Bradenton. The next Tap It! Thirsday will take place on Thursday, November 13th. The trouble starts at 4pm.
