Glass of beer in front of Fat Point UTC Grand Opening

Fat Point Brewing Celebrates grand opening at University Town Center

Press Release: Fat Point Brewing, the renowned craft brewery originally founded in Punta Gorda, is celebrating its expansion along the Suncoast with the grand opening of its new location at University Town Center (UTC) in Sarasota. The 2,500-square-foot venue is nestled in the vibrant West District at UTC along Cattleman Road. Now, Sarasota residents, Lakewood Ranch residents, and visitors alike can experience the coastal-inspired ambiance and delightful bar fare offered by the new brewpub.

Fat Point Brewing IPA release sells out

Fat Point Brewing Company, Punta Gorda’s craft brewery definitely has a good thing brewing. And like news of a great beer, word of mouth carries a long way. Amplify that with the fact that this is Punta Gorda’s first local brewery and anticipation of opening reaches an almost fever pitch.

When Fat Point announced that the brewery was hosting a release party for their Ryeght Angle IPA, tickets were posted online. Within 72 hours, the party was sold out.

The event, taking place this Saturday, August 16th, will be part of a series of events designed to make the public aware of the kinds of beers Fat Point is looking to pour.

From Fat Point’s Facebook page:

SOLD OUT – Over 200 tickets for our Ryeght Angle IPA Release Party sold out in under 72 hours. We truly appreciate the support and are looking forward to an awesome event. Unfortunately, the sellout means we won’t be selling tickets at the event. See you Saturday!

Fat Point Brewing Company: events and closer to opening

The folks at Fat Point Brewing Company, Punta Gorda’s future craft brewery, are pounding pavement to give people the good beer news that Punta Gorda will soon have a craft brewery. If that wasn’t reason enough for Southwest Florida celebration, then the upcoming preview events might be.

From Fat Point’s blog:

*After testing and cleaning all of next week, we’re brewing our first large scale batch on June 24th with successive brews each of the following two days. We’re going to brew 60BBLs that first week – or close to 2000 gallons of Fat Point beer.

*We worked with Executive Chef Jason Van Marter from Opus restuarant in Punta Gorda to plan our next event there. On June 29th, we’re going to have our Beer Brunch tasting including interesting twists on old favorites such as beer mimosas, micheladas (bloody beers), a Belgian strong ale and even a one-of-a-kind brew just for this event. Our team brewed a stout infused with cinnamon, allspice and coffee for this event!

*We hope to open our tap room in early August.
