Description
Born in 2012 out of a Latin American gastropub, Darwin’s on 4th was well known throughout the Florida culinary world. We began brewing culinary-inspired beers on a modest brewing system to pair with the brewpub’s cuisine. In 2013, we expanded operations to a fifteen-barrel production facility, taproom, and beer garden and Darwin Brewing Company quickly became a staple in the burgeoning Florida craft beer landscape.
With deep roots in our community, it is not enough to simply exist within the community, we aim to be a part of it. We work with local organizations to support and give back to the community. We are proud to call Bradenton, FL home.

Darwin Brewing is dedicated to serving and delivering the highest quality beers possible. Beers that everyone can enjoy. We incorporate ingredients indigenous to Florida and the Americas creatively into our brews, brewing six year-round, four seasonals, and a variety of other specialty brews. We are Evolutionary Florida Beers!

Can from Publix. Clear gold with a small white head. Light citrus hop aroma. The flavor is slightly bitter but overall seems to be more APA than IPA. Drinkable and refreshing, easy on the hops and malt.

Can. Golden body with bubbly white head. Light aroma of tangerine, toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation. Though there’s tangerine in the aroma, there’s none of it in the taste. Vegetative, dms here.

Draft @ Olde Bay, Dunedin. Dorée/paille, fin blanc. Arôme au bouquet grains bien agréable, malt pils, houblonné noble fleuri et citronné léger. Palais est léger pils, petite pointe de douceur presque orangée en fin de bouche. Fruité houblonné modéré offrant une amertume modérée, le tout restant très léger et rafraichissant. Le tout reste cependant sec sur la fin avec un houblonné tout autant agréable, entre fleurie t fruité.

Draft @ CCB. Orangée, col blanc-cassé crémeux. Arôme est fruité houblonné bouquet rappelant une levure belge ponctué par un léger fruité tropical. Note peu le côté épicé Palais dont les 8% sont bien présents avec un fini rappelant un peu la Palo Santo de Dogfish dans le boisé tropical mais dont le composant boisé reste très minimaliste et sans le savoir on pourrait presque ne pas le noter, impression de levure belge, rétro finement épicé et houblonné un peu noble. Houblonne ajoutant une fine amertume, pointe de chaleur épicée sur la fin et qui prend un rebond au fil de la dégustation. Le profil agrumes du Aji Limon n’était ps spécialement surfait mais peut être perdu dans les houblons.

Draft at World of Beer. Dark brown/ dirty color. Aroma is yeast, caramel, English toffee, clove. Flavor is kind of like a Dubbel, dark fruit, Belgain yeast, cloves and far I say... Bubblegum? The dreaded bubblegum reference!! Good but kind of all over the place.
