Motorworks Brewing’s new beers

Motorworks Brewing of Bradenton has been working hard making beers for thirsty Bradentoners since they opened last year. In every newsletter they send out, they hint and new and exciting beers coming down the line and ultimately premiering in their tap room.

Currently in the hopper and fermentation:

*Two barrel-aged beers

*Oktoberfest: “German Oktoberfest style for the people who enjoy the Autumn Classic’s.”

*Pumpkin ale: ” …35 lbs. of Pumpkin for the new Pumpkin Ale. They used Galanga (Asian Root that looks like Ginger, but tastes peppery and spicy) Ground Cinnamon, and Nutmeg”

The last two beers expect to be tapped “Look for both of these to be released in the next few weeks. They will be on tap just in time for our Oktoberfest, that will be held the weekend of Sept. 26th, 27th and 28th.”
