USA, FL: Big Storm Brewing Co. announces purchase of Darwin Brewing Co.

Clearwater-based Big Storm Brewing Co. announced its purchase of Bradenton-based Darwin Brewing Co. on December 6, which has been making culinary-inspired beer for about 10 years, the Axios reported.

"It is our plan to take the next year to methodically find a new home for Darwin that will allow the brand to find some of its original roots regarding a culinary experience," Big Storm co-owner L.J. Govoni said in the announcement.

Big Storm expanded into Central Florida with a brewpub in downtown Orlando last month and is set to open its fifth Florida location, an 11,000-square-foot taproom and restaurant in Ybor City, early next year.
