Sun King Sarasota

By Carson B · August 12, 2025

This story ran in August 2025, so dates, hours, and details may have changed.

Last week, I stopped by Sun King Sarasota as I continue to build out the Scoop’s Guide to Sarasota Breweries.

I grabbed a flight to sample a few styles and ended up lingering longer than planned, chatting and people-watching.

If you haven’t been yet, it’s a great spot to kick back without overthinking it.
