USA, FL: Fat Point Brewing expanding to new location in Sarasota
Fat Point Brewing is expanding north along the Suncoast and will be opening a new location in Sarasota at University Town Center (UTC). The craft brewery, originally founded in Punta Gorda, will produce and serve its flavorful and original beers from a 2,500-square-foot venue, Brewdound reported on November 19.
“Fat Point is a brand built by the support of the community, and we’re very excited to bring our brand to this new community at UTC,” said LJ Govoni, President of Fat Point Brewing Co. “The location will feature a significant number of taps for brewed-on-site exclusives and an inviting outdoor beer garden for socializing while you sip on great beers best enjoyed in the sun.”
Fat Point gets its name from Punta Gorda, which literally means “Fat Point” or the area where the pristine waters of Peace River and Gasparilla Sound meet. The new brewpub will be located along Cattlemen Rd. in the West District at UTC. The menu will offer coastal-inspired bar fare that’s sure to please everyone, and beer drinkers will be able to find everything from Fat Point’s flagship ale, Big Boca, to site exclusive small batches.
Since first launching in 2012, the Brewery has won critical acclaim for its original beers inspired by the Southwest Florida region. Fat Point’s Bru Man Chu, a Belgian Trippel; its rye IPA, Ryeght Angle; and Oatmeal Stout won gold, silver and bronze medals at the U.S. Open Beer Championship and Best Florida Beer Championships. Our beers, including our seasonal spiced pumpkin ale Pumpka Gourda, are available in 4-pack, 16-oz. cans and on tap in select locations throughout Florida. Click here to find one near you.
