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!

Tap at GABF 2013. Poured a clear dark brown with a bubbly tan head. The aroma is yeast roasted malt and alcohol. The flavour is strong bitter with a malty barnyard spice chilli palate which really kicks in late in the finish. I was wondering when it would come but t did and didn’t disappoint.

on tap-tan head with some trailing lace-brown. A-soft roasty med malt, slight honey. T-starts with soft roasty med malt, slight honey. Then a slight warming at the back of the throat. This does build just a bit with each sip along with the sweetness. Nice.

on tap-offwhite-amber. A-med malt-some roast. T-rich roasty med malt-cocoa, slight hop offset. Taste was spot on, great mouthfeel. Quite a surprise from the appearance and aroma which had me planning on this being more of a middle of the road brown-nice surprise!
