## About

Awarded the distinction of the #3 brewery nationwide at the 2021 U.S. Open Beer Championship, named “Best Large Brewery in Florida” at the 2017 Best Florida Beer Championship, and presented with over 100 championship medals since its opening in 2014, Motorworks Brewing is truly driven to excellence. Co-founded by Frank and Denise Tschida, Motorworks’ iconic flagship facility was built in 1923 and was 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 boasts two prime locations, one located at 1014 9th Street West in historic Downtown Bradenton, Florida, and one located at 131 N Orange Ave Suite 106 in downtown Orlando, Florida.
