    Walking into Calusa Brewing feels like stepping into a place built by people who genuinely love…read moregreat beer. The brewery is beautiful--inviting, relaxed, and the kind of spot where you immediately want to settle in for another round. Then came the IPAs. We sampled them all, and every pint told a different story. One crashed over you like a salty Gulf Coast wave, bold and full of energy. Another unfolded like a peaceful walk through a pine forest, layered with earthy bitterness and just the right touch of sweetness. No two tasted alike, and that's exactly what made the experience so much fun. The biggest surprise? Every IPA was memorable. We expected good. We found outstanding. Meeting the brewmaster was the icing on the cake. Learning he's a fellow Stone Brewing fan made for a great conversation, and you can taste the passion and creativity in every glass. To everyone at Calusa Brewing--high fives all around. You made fans out of us, and we can't wait to come back for another flight.

All very, very tasty. Bought some home since visitors are coming from NJ! Interior reminded us a bit of Kean brewing in NJ as well as Treehouse in Mass. Will definitely return to catch some music and eat.

    While in the Lakewood Ranch area, Sarasota... We were looking for something "different ". Thanks…read moreto YELP, The Good Liquid Brewery popped up. In we went. Very pleasant, right on the lake with a great view. It was quite windy today, so we sat inside at the bar. Kayla was our Bartender. What a cheerful young lady. Very personable and attentive. As a Brewery, they offer a pretty good selection of beers, along with a full bar. Today, they were out of their Amber, so I ordered their Kolsch. Quite tasty. For food, we ordered the fish-n-chips to share. We weren't very hungry and this was perfect portion to share. AND, it was one of the best fish -n-chips we've had in a long time. Not at all greasy, firm fish and the fries were over the top !! Crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside. Coleslaw was flavorful with a lean towards vinegar, Not heavy mayo like in some places. Very tasty. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely stop again the next time we are close to that area.

We got visited by a friendly(?) local gator which was fun. Tough to find parking nearby so recommend parking wherever you can and walking over. We didn't try a lot of their beers but what we did try was fine but nothing that we thought was memorable. And if you're a brewery, your beers have to standout. It probably is a 3.5 star location. Good for families. Good for spending a good chunk of time in this area. Not necessarily a destination.

    Shout out to Cara for making our visit a great one! After visiting the Carmel, Indiana location we…read morehad to come and visit the Sarasota location while we were in town. Know that it's in an industrial park, it's easy to miss, and parking is extremely limited. However, once you're there, enjoy the chill vibe. The beer is consistently delicious. I started with the cream ale, which is a favorite of ours, but switched to the Hoops There It Is, which is a peach flavored wheat beer that was incredible! I liked it so much I took a crowler home with me to enjoy. There was a New Haven style pizza truck that people came specifically for. If we didn't have other dinner plans, we would've stayed to try it. The outside seating area is cozy and there's bags there too to play. It looked like there was someone coming in to do trivia night? As for the inside, it's barebones but I'm here for good beer and conversation. We will definitely be back when were in town. Plus, now knowing the parking situation we'll be smarter next time.

The place was decorated for the holiday and had a great vibe. Irish music was playing, of course. There's a large variety of beers on tap. A screen shows the current offerings. I had a Vagabond IPA, while my husband had a Kilkenny. Both were 20 oz pours, and very good. We decided to get a couple of appetizers because we had a dinner commitment. We had the English sausage rolls, wrapped in puff pastry, and the spicy English beer cheese dip, which came with pita chips. Everything was plentiful and quite tasty. There are lots of other great looking things on the menu. We enjoyed the congenial atmosphere, and the service by owner Rich. We never felt rushed. If we lived in the area, we would become regulars.

It's located in a small strip mall with a couple of seats outside; we ate as always, inside. The theme is English although the beer is cold. Service was great and we were never rushed.
