Our Story

Welcome to Back Porch Brewery and Taproom!

We’re Sarah and Anthony Tomaselli, life partners and the proud owners of Back Porch Brewing.

Born and raised in New England’s smallest state, we’ve spent over 40 years in the hospitality industry. In 2018, we set out for Florida with a vision: to create a warm, inviting space where friends and families could come together to enjoy our craft beers, handpicked wines, and creative cuisine.

It wasn’t easy, but we’re thrilled to say that dream is now a reality. We can’t wait to welcome you to Back Porch Brewing!

We are your local-family operated taproom.

WHEN YOU ARE HERE, YOU ARE FAMILY! GOOD BEER & WINE DESERVES TO BE ENJOYED WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE.

So come join us on the Back Porch and take time to enjoy life! Our Venice, Florida brewery was created on the idea to meet in a place where you feel at home with good beer & wine.
