Back Porch is conveniently located right next to I-75 east of exit 195. If you're looking for high quality beer, this is worth the stop. Upon walking in you will notice a clean and bright tap room. Service from the bartenders is excellent. There is a drink menu and a food menu. The food is good, but the beers are exceptional. All of the beers were great, and I felt that the IPAs and lagers really shined. I have tried the charcuterie board and the buffalo chicken sandwich. The sandwich was very good and I would order it again. Back Porch offers some of the best beers around as well as good food. I would recommend it to any beer connoisseur. read more

If you try one of their handhelds, you won't be sorry. the beer is fantastic. The service is awesome. We brought our daughter here. Shes from Seattle and she said this is one of the better breweries she's been in, it rivals the ones even in her hometown of Seattle. we are definitely coming back. read more

As a new patron to this brewery, I'd like to give a shout-out to Savannah. The MOST pleasant server/bartender in the area! My new favorite beer of ALL time is the seed and bean - a luscious, effervescent glass of liquid dark gold. We ordered a salad and a sandwich to accompany our libations. Although not a big menu selection, the food was fast and fresh - the Back Porch knows the drinks are the star of the show here. Well done! read more

I live in the Northeast and I am a fan of VT, NY and NJ IPAs, these both stood up to them! Brought home a 4 pack of Experiments 8.

What an awesome place and great location! Just off the Laurel Road exit on 75 north of Jacaranda exit you will find a brewery that has multiple styles of beer and artisan food. Brewhouse is on premises and Owners/Brewer are on site daily. If you are into craft beer and very friendly staff, this is a must go to. Just check it out, you will be hooked. read more

We were excited to try a new brewery in the Sarasota/Venice area and were impressed by Back Porch Brewing. After a morning of sharks tooth hunting in Casperson, we made the hike over to this new find and were immediately welcomed. The female bartender was quick to bring our kiddos over some toys, coloring books, and menus. She explained the beers on tap and gave us her recommendations. We enjoyed testers of each ipa and settled on a few glasses of experiments batch 3 and a Casey panini melt. On a lazy Wednesday afternoon, the bar was still pretty busy but we hope to return on a more hoppin' night to enjoy their food truck and live entertainment. read more

I wasn't impressed with any of the beers compared to most local breweries. Most of them seemed like bad clones of mass produced names. (Peroni, Sierra Nevada, Budweiser etc.) The service seemed okay, the bartenders were not very attentive and didn't seem social except with each other. The owner and his wife seemed very stand-offish and not open to critiques or suggestions. No TVs, no music, no entertainment. They have very high ceiling and a lot of bare walls and hard surfaces. I wouldn't Recommend going if you like to have conversation with others or meeting friends as it is so loud that you can't hear yourself think even with few people inside. If you're getting out of work from one of the many factories in the area, the landfill down the street or you just saw your hospital bill from the new SMH it may be an easy place to stop for a beer but it's really not near anything remarkable or anything else to do. I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It just feels like the tap room is an after thought to the brewing and they really should have taken a little more time on developing a product and a concept before they opened. read more

Beers are good. But the atmosphere is so boring and plain. It's awkward when you walk in because it's kinda quiet and it's like everyone turns around to look at you walk in. The service is good too.

Nice location and easy to get to. Ample parking and very clean as it's a new business. The Beer selection is good and is better than a lot of local breweries. The staff is fantastic and seem to be excited to tell you about the brewery and beer. Don't ask any questions as the owner/brewer must think he is a better brewmaster than other more famous breweries around the country. As an all grain home brewer I like to know a little more about the beer so I can further my knowledge in the craft. I have been to many breweries around the country and have always had my questions answered. Today when I asked about what grains (fermentables) were used in one of the IPA's the answers was it's a secret recipe. I wasn't asking for the recipe, only trying to see if the grain bill was what I thought it might be. And the message was delivered by one of the staff who said they really weren't allowed to know about the product. Its unfortunate but I can drive 11 miles up the road and another brewery will be happy to engage and talk about its products. It will be interesting to see how long this location survives. read more

I wanted the pepperoni as shown, nope! So, I ordered a pepperoni and mushrooms, side salad and soft drink. Total about $25 dollars. The salads were rather small and the pizza was decent. 1 ordered the special, said it was adequate. Then there is this ridiculous get your own beer with a 100 or so selections on tap. You pay by the oz, if you know anything about beer on tap it can produce a lot of foam when first starting. Especially, when several beers in one tap. This you pay for and one beer ended up to be $8. Not to mention it was barely chilled. Location, location is really all they got going. We felt we got the bait and switch on lunch special. I would only recommend to try for your own perspective. I write lots of good reviews, this is just meh. Been there done that, not agian for us based on the experience.

Beer taps, So self serving per oz charge. Not a fan of this idea, prefer a cold beer poured by a bartender and brought to the table.

When the server delivered the food I asked for a glass of water and after seeing her in and out a few times over 5 minutes, I just went into the bar and got it myself. Food was good. My wife got the Turkey BLTA and a side of coleslaw ($1.50 up charge). The sandwich was very good, with tender and tasty turkey and nicely smoked bacon. I got the Grouper PoBoy and the chips, which are the only side that doesn't require an up charge. The fish was very good and the sandwich sauce and pickled veggies were a great blend of flavors. The chips have a slightly sweet taste. They were ok, but I'd probably try a different side if I went back. The bathrooms are through the restaurant and shared with some other businesses. The men's seemed ok, but my wife said the women's was a bit beat up. The restaurant is addressing it-see picture of the sign. Tip on the app defaults to 20%, and while I'm generally a good tipper, I did not tip that much due to the lack of service.

Pleased with every drink and flavor and even came back for a second night on my trip. The Buffalo Chicken Wedge salad is my favorite with the jammy 6-min egg. I will be back and love the staff. Bartenders and servers are amazing! I will be back on all my future trips.
