Sailfish Brewing Company opened up in April of 2013 in downtown Ft. Pierce in the 'Edgartown' Neighborhood. We started on a small 1 1/2 barrel brewing system and soon upgraded to our current 3 barrel system. We soon realized that due to the demand and tremendous support from our fans that we would have to expand again! In February of 2017 we opened our new taproom for our 20 barrel system right in the heart of downtown at 130 N Second St just a few blocks from our original facility.
