Lakewood Ranch has a new one-stop spot for craft drinks, and locals are here for it. 3 Car Garage Brewing, the area's longest-running brewery, is now sharing space with Loaded Cannon Distillery, Lakewood Ranch's first (and only) distillery.
This pairing brings beer and spirits together under one roof, creating a laid-back hangout where you can grab a pint, sip a cocktail, and chill with friends.
What to Expect Right Now
Beer is back, but in limited supply - for now. 3 Car Garage Brewing is just getting settled, so you'll see a smaller lineup of styles as they gear up production. That said, they're already serving, and you can count on them to keep adding new brews in the weeks ahead.
Loaded Cannon's tasting room is still in full swing, with their small-batch rums, vodkas, and moonshines available by the pour or in handcrafted cocktails. With both menus in one place, you've got more options than ever.
More Reasons to Stop By
The new setup isn't only about what's in your glass. Expect more food trucks, live music, and themed events to start popping up, especially once the full beer lineup is ready.
The tasting room is also available to rent, making it a great spot for birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette groups, or just a private hangout with your crew. It's got that fun, casual vibe that works for everything from family gatherings to after-hours celebrations.
Manatee County locals love a good collaboration, and this one's already got the community buzzing. Cheers to local drinks and good company!
