• Gastro Pub • Fruitville, Florida

When we started Big Top Brewing Company, there were no craft breweries in the Sarasota area and we set out to fix that. We wanted to compliment Sarasota’s historical associations with The Ringling Circus, performing arts, great architecture, the best art and design schools and world renown tourism. The best way we could do that was to craft beer that our home town can be proud of. We plan to continue the tradition of the arts and help Sarasota add beer town to its identity. Come step under our big top and see for yourself. Big Top Brewing Company artistically crafts world class beers, inspired by our passion, integrity, and the history of our home town.

    2nd time here. Party of 6 for a birthday. I asked to be moved inside because it was cold. We were seated right by the bar and was so loud we couldn't hear anything. I walked to the front 3 young women standing there and I asked to be moved. 1 of the girls went to ask, but a different one looked straight at me and said we are full, the other rooms are closed. She didn't even move. Within minutes the manager came over and got us a new table and it was so much better. This girl could use some training for sure. Our server was great, food was excellent and our celebration dinner was saved
