Front Page Brewing Company opened its doors in beautiful, historic Downtown Bartow, FL in 2020. Founded by Johnnie and Bill Levin, Front Page was created to provide a gathering place for the local and greater communities to enjoy brewed on-site quality craft beer and socialize. After semi-retiring from corporate life, Johnnie was looking for something to take on in the next chapter of her life.
As a long-time fan of craft beer and breweries, this was a perfect opportunity to explore. After completing the Univ of South Florida - St. Pete Brewing Arts certification program, she realized that she’d found her new “home” and Front Page Brewing Company started coming to life.
Opening on March 14, just prior to the start of the state and nationwide shutdown, certainly proved to be an unexpected challenge, but with the support of a wonderful city and community, Front Page Brewing Company was able to weather the storm and continues to grow and thrive.
