Sarasota’s Big Top Brewing is being sued by multiple lenders claiming that the popular brewery owes more than $4.6 million in unpaid loans, according to court records.

In separate lawsuits filed in Sarasota County Circuit Court, at least two lenders are claiming that the Sarasota brewery, its owners and an affiliated liability company defaulted on loan agreements by failing to make timely payments. The Sarasota brewery, which has three locations in Sarasota and Manatee counties, allegedly owes more than $4 million to Berkeley Alternative Income Fund and an additional more than $600,000 to SouthState Bank, according to the lawsuits.
