From South Beach to Wynwood, Doral, and beyond, numerous local breweries have made their mark on Greater Miami and Miami Beach.

Today, we'll delve into some of the most traditional local breweries.

The Charms of Craft Beer in South Beach

For those looking to explore craft beer in South Beach, the Abbey Brewing Company is an unmissable starting point. Since 1995, this brewery has been producing its own varieties of Trappist-style beer, offering visitors an experience that evokes the charm of the Old World. In addition to its pleasant atmosphere, this brewery's beers have clever names like Immaculate IPA, Father Theodore's Stout, and Brother Dan's Double.

Wynwood: The Epicenter of the Craft Beer Revolution in Miami

The craft beer movement in Miami began to take shape in 2013 with the opening of Wynwood Brewing Company. Founded by a father and son duo, this brewery was established in the heart of the Wynwood art neighborhood. Here, you can savor the Pop's Porter, a gold medal-winning beer made with a blend of roasted malts that awaken flavors of chocolate, coffee, and caramel. 

You can also enjoy La Rubia, a blonde beer with a fresh and refreshing finish, perfect for Miami's warm weather. Since then, Wynwood has been filled with popular breweries and taverns, inviting beer enthusiasts to enjoy an exciting "beer tour" that includes stops at places like J. Wakefield Brewing, VEZA SUR Brewing Co., and, more recently, La Tropical Brewery. Many of these breweries are located in spacious warehouse-style spaces, both indoors and outdoors, where you can enjoy live entertainment and casual dining or food trucks, creating a festive atmosphere that characterizes Wynwood.

Tropical Innovation in Miami: Schnebly Redland Brewery

For a truly unique beer experience, head to the Redland area in South Dade, where you'll find Schnebly Redland's Winery and Brewery. Here, craft beers are brewed with local tropical fruits, such as the refreshing Shark Bait wheat beer, which incorporates the flavor of mango. This unique and tropical approach adds a fresh and juicy dimension to Miami's craft beer scene.
