3 Car Garage Brewing
8405 Heritage Green Way, Bradenton, FL
3 Car Garage Brewing is a small-batch craft brewery in Bradenton that operates a shared taproom with Loaded Cannon Distillery. Born from a literal three-car garage hobby, the business specializes in approachable, Florida-inspired beers.
The brewery’s name is an honest nod to its humble beginnings, where the founders first perfected their recipes in a suburban three-car garage. Now operating out of a vibrant taproom in the Lakewood Ranch area, the business focuses on small-batch production and a rotating tap list that highlights unique local flavors. Signature offerings include the Beer Can Island Tropical Lager, a crisp brew infused with mango and pineapple.
In a unique local partnership, the taproom shares its space with Loaded Cannon Distillery. This arrangement allows visitors to enjoy fresh-brewed craft beers alongside artisanal spirits and cocktails in a single destination. The atmosphere is relaxed and community-focused, frequently hosting local musicians and a variety of food trucks that park outside the shared facility.
Situated just off Lakewood Ranch Boulevard, the location is a convenient stop for those navigating the inland roads of Manatee County. The surrounding neighborhood offers a mix of shopping and dining, while the brewery remains a standout for its dedication to small-batch craft. It provides a comfortable spot to sample a range of styles, from hoppy IPAs to traditional blonde ales and house-made seltzers.
