Tim McTague and Nate Young launched the brand back in 2014. 5 years later, it’s accrued something of a cult following in Florida and across the country.

The bar portion of the concept will feature 16 taps, 10 of which will be King State’s own brews. Follow King State on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
