Motorworks Brewing

Awarded the distinction of the #9 brewery nationwide, winning two Gold Medals and a Silver Medal, at the 2018 U.S. Open Beer Championship and named "Best Large Brewery in Florida" at the 2017 Best Florida Beer Championship, Motorworks Brewing was co-founded by Frank and Denise Tschida. As soon as they laid their eyes on the Bradenton property, they knew they had found something special. Built in 1923 and once home to a Hudson Motors dealership—renowned for outstanding performance and innovative styling—in the late 40s and early 50s, the building’s automotive history, along with Frank’s Sprint Car/ASA background, inspired the Motorworks Brewing name. The Motorworks Brewing team strives to bring their own imaginative and innovative approach to brewing to honor their building’s storied past. Motorworks Brewing is located at 1014 9th Street West, Bradenton FL, midway between the downtown Riverwalk and the recently renovated McKechnie Field (spring training stadium for the Pittsburgh Pirates and home of the Bradenton Marauders). The brewery is adjacent to Bradenton’s unique Village of the Arts and is in the heart of Bradenton’s expanding downtown entertainment corridor. The 27,000 sq. ft. building houses Motorworks’ production Brewery & Taproom and boasts the largest Beer Garden in Florida, with 20+ beers consistently offered on draft in addition to seasonal and specialty packaged releases, and a full bar offering wine and liquor.
