Motorworks Brewing, Bradenton’s first craft brewery, was co-founded by Frank and Denise
Tschida. As soon as they laid their eyes on the Bradenton property, they knew they had found
something special. 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 craft beer to honor their building’s storied past.
About Motorworks Brewing
Motorworks Brewing is located at 1014 9th Street West, Bradenton FL, midway between the
downtown Riverwalk and the recently renovated McKechnie Field (spring training stadium for
the Pittsburgh Pirates and home of the Bradenton Marauders). The brewery is adjacent to
Bradenton’s unique Village of the Arts and in the heart of Bradenton’s expanding downtown
entertainment corridor.
Built in 1923 as an automobile dealership – complete with a concrete ramp that was used to
move cars from the ground floor to a second floor service area – the 27,000 sq. ft. building
houses Motorworks’ full-production Brewery and Taproom.
Motorworks Brewing boasts the largest beer garden in Florida, complete with a spacious deck
built around a magnificent 150+ year-old oak tree, a 3-hole putting green, 2 professional bocce
ball courts, over a dozen cornhole sets, life-sized jenga, a live music stage and a 22 ft.
projection screen.

The Taproom offers exclusive brews and Motorworks’ award-winning core beer lineup, including
V Twin Vienna Lager (2014 Great American Beer Fest, Bronze Medal and 2015 Best Florida
Beer Championship, Silver Medal), Rollcage Red Ale (2015 US Beer Tasting Championship,
Grand National Champion, 2015 Best Florida Beer Championship, Silver Medal, and 2015 Draft
Magazine’s Best of Craft Beer, Bronze Medal), INDY IPA (2015 Beverage World Magazine,
Bronze Medal), and Midnight Espresso Coffee Porter, featuring coffee hand-roasted onsite at
the brewery. In addition to award-winning beers Motorworks Brewing offers an expansive wine
list, and – most uniquely – a full liquor bar.
The tap room opens at 11AM every day of the year. Motorworks closes at midnight from Sunday
to Thursday, and at 2AM on Friday and Saturday.
