The 10 Best Breweries in Florida, United States

November 6, 2021 Karren Gelb

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Florida Keys Brewing Company

The Keys only production brewery is now open to the public. In the heart of the Morada Way Arts and Cultural District, located at MM 81.6 Ocean side is where you can find Florida Keys Brewing Co. We are a small micro brewery with an artsy island vibe and brewing close to 30 styles of beer annually. YOU CAN ONLY BUY FKBC BEER IN OUR TASTING ROOM. We only brew small batches until our larger equipment arrives early this summer. Then we will only be found in Monroe county. So, stop by and have a pint, a flight, or fill a growler and take it home with you. Open every day 1-9. MEET ME AT THE BREW CO!!!

We were on vacation in Cocoa Beach when someone mentions there was a brewery in Cape Canaveral. So we went to check it out. It’s tucked away off the main road. The building is huge! Great feel In the place. The staff are very nice. The beer is great and a huge variety. Something for everyone... unless you don’t drink beer. Then your screwed. Hahaha

We're originally from PA, but just discovered Yuengling a few years ago. While checking out their website on a road trip to FL, we found they have a brewery in Tampa offering a FREE tour and samples! We loved it! Elizabeth was an outstanding tour guide - sharing all of the history behind this great beer, the Tampa brewery, answering all of our questions, and keeping us laughing with her humor! The refreshing samples and gift shop full of reasonably priced unique items were bonuses! Now we want to take a trip to Pottsville to tour the original brewery, too! Highly recommend this tour for all of the historical value - even if you don't drink beer!

Hourglass Brewing

The dream of two friends that began brewing on their back porch. Funded by the sales of toy collections, musical equipment, and some family help; a once 12 seat bar room is now a 280 seat Craft Brewery in the heart of Central Florida and a 2017 Florida Brewery of the Year winner. From the beginning and through today, Hourglass Brewing is about creating world class beer and turning outlandish ideas into delicious and nuanced craft brews. Come grab a pint, a snifter, or sampler and relax on our dog friendly patio or take a peek behind the glass walled brew house to observe the daily brew process. Our taproom is uniquely decorated with nostalgic remembrances, geek culture, and the work of local artists. Stacked with table top and console games for free play, we also host frequent live music and comedy nights. One visit and you'll see that Hourglass Brewing is as distinct as the beers that are poured here.

At the Tampa International Airport, Cigar City Brewing has a restaurant where I passed some time waiting for my plane, which was 2 hours late. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and a pale ale. Both were tasty and worth the price. However, I had lost my cell phone in the terminal! I didn;t realize that at the time, but when I did the staff at the restaurant was totally helpful in trying to find the phone, calling the number, making suggestions, etc. In the end I found the phone near the gate that I had visited to check on the plane's departure. The staff made the visit pretty good, and I have to thank them, knowing that if any other traveller gets into the same situation they will do their best to help.

Oyster City Brewing Company

Reviewed By 9desireea - Long Island, United States

I love having a cold glass of beer on a hot day, so imagine my surprise when I ordered a totally unknown IPA from a totally unknown Craft Beer Company, in a city I didn’t even know existed. Welcome to the sleepy and unusual looking little town of Apalachicola, Florida; also known as the Oyster Capital of the World. Tucked in one of the old western-movie-like buildings sits the Oyster City Brewing Company. And inside this extremely weathered looking structure, another one of Apalachicola’s hidden gems is being fermented into the best craft beer to ever hit, my highly discriminating beer palate. I’m not quite sure which was the first one I had. I know it was light in color but not light in substance. I also know, it was so delicious, I had two pints in a row. And if you think that was enough, think again! Because there was no way I was leaving without sampling the Mango IPA. I wish I could describe to you, exactly how great the beer was... but I can’t. I guess if I could, perhaps the beer would not be so good. So hey Anheuser Bush, are you listening... ‘cause you don’t know what you’re missing! Although to tell you the truth, I don’t think Oyster City Beer would ever sell to a non-American brewing company, regardless of who may be. They’re way to proud of what they have managed to craft with the help of some oysters and the wonderful people of Apalachicola!
