Sarasota Brewing Co

There are lots of breweries in Siesta Key, Florida. But did you know that there are also breweries near Siesta Key in neighboring Sarasota? That’s right! Sarasota is nearby, and the Sarasota Brewing Company awaits handcrafted beer and food selections for every taste. Try the fiery firecracker shrimp or a piping hot bowl of chili, then cool your tastebuds with a light-bodied Sarasota Gold. Or, pair a burger, ribs, fish ‘n chips, or a specialty pizza with the Happy American Amber or Midnight Pass Porter.

Calusa Brewing

If you love sampling the unique, and seeing how it’s all made, try Calusa Brewing in Sarasota – another of the fine breweries near Siesta Key. Calusa folks are passionate about crafting the finest beers, and their incredible menu boasts a large selection of draft beers, including pilsners, Mexican-style lagers, and IPAs. Try the juicy and refreshing Calusa Citronious or the 36-month, barrel-aged stout Calusa Guided by the Moon.
