Sarasota brewpub Darwin's on 4th has won a medal in the Best Florida Beer Championships. The brewery-restaurant at 1525 4th St. was lauded for its Charapa, a spiced porter.
It hasn't been revealed which type of medal (gold, silver, bronze) Darwin's received; that's coming soon. Last year the brewpub -- under previous brewmaster Jared Barnes -- won 13 medals at the same competition, including a gold medal for Charapa.
Darwin's is constructing a spin-off production brewery in Bradenton.
