"The brew bus was a big hit for transportation to and from our wedding @ Florida Avenue Brewing. We hired them for transportation to/from four hotels and they made sure everyone got to the venue on time, and even made sure they didn’t leave any of us behind on the way home! Mike and the team were easy to work with, friendly, and Brittany even went out of her way at the end of the night to bring my friend her purse that was left on the bus. Everyone had a fun time and couldn’t stop talking about the brew bus."

"Bootleggers Brewing CO's Mug Club worked with Mike from Brew Bus to create a private experience. He was very flexible and attentive to our needs and made the process very easy! The club had an absolute blast and asked when we could do it again! I highly recommend Brew Bus tours for any event!"

"My very first time on the Local Loop, and the experience was "super stellar". We were a group of 11 awesome women plus our driver Mrs.Penny made us all feel welcomed. In other words "women ruled this tour". Beautiful sunny weather and all the places we visited were "outstanding". My favorite was BARRIEHAUS and the selection of local beers. And the patio where we played "corn toss" lots of fun. Yes I'd do it again, and I highly recommend."

"We booked a custom tour with Mike and his team the day after our wedding (10/10 recommend) and it was an amazing time. We had just under 40 people and had three brewery stops and one food stop. The team executed everything flawlessly and our entire group had a wonderful time. If you're considering taking a tour with these guys, just book the ticket now. It's a blast!"

"I scheduled a private Brew Bus for my fiancé and his friends as a surprise Bachelor Party. They had the best time! Mike was super communicative in helping me plan the stops. The driver, Barry, and Beertender were great! 10/10 across the board. Now I want to plan one that I can go on!"

"My bachelor party and I had a great time on our brewery tour! The beer attendant and our driver were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and breweries. The beer we had on the bus and breweries were very good. 3 Daughters brewery even had a buy a sandwhich get a free beer deal which was awesome for our group. Another thing we loved about this trip is that we could pick breweries in different areas giving us the options of seeing more places while we were in town (we had never been to the tampa area for the most part). We really liked the St. Pete area and would recommend that to others who plan on visiting."

Hop On The Bus

Our tours visit some of the best breweries in the area, where you can sample a variety of award-winning beers. You'll also learn about the brewing process and the history of craft beer in Tampa Bay.

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

• Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
• Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.

Best Experience Ever

"It was a birthday gift to remember. Awesome choices, plenty of time to explore and enjoy the other options available. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I have made changes in what we look for in beers as well as how we drink it - always in a glass. Fun and cool"

Excellent Time Had By All

"The tour was great from beginning to end. Mark was an awesome guide. Perfect man for our group. We really enjoyed his knowledge of beer and history. All the brewery stops were good, but Bantam Cider was my favorite. Will definitely be back!"

History Meets Beer

"This tour was a great way to experience the city of Boston and see what various types of beer it has to offer. The tour guide was very informative and made the overall experience fun and enjoyable. Plus, who doesn't like to sample 15-18 beers in under 6 hours? Will definitely recommend this tour to friends!"

The 21 Best Florida Breweries for 2024

Today I am sharing the best Florida breweries to visit this year! When you think of craft breweries, states like California and Colorado may come to mind as the best places to find them. However, Florida has a rapidly growing brewing industry and is home to over 250 craft breweries. This can be a lot to narrow down, especially with areas like Tampa . I have been all over the state trying them for years now and I can now confidently say that list contains the best Florida breweries.

I decided to cap my list at 21, although there are so many other great ones that could be added. Originally, I ranked them in order of my favorites, but it has changed too much that now there is no order. Though the quality of the beer is the main factor, I do include brewery experience as part of this list as well. Here are my top Florida breweries for 2023.

Table of Contents

Civil Society Brewing Co. – Jupiter

Of all the Florida breweries, Civil Society Brewing Co. has been my favorite since 2016! Originally opening in Jupiter, they now have another location in West Palm Beach where you can get their juicy brews. IPA lovers, especially New England ones, will be in heaven here, although they do make some pretty good stouts frequently too.

It can be hard to find Civil Society beer, as even the brewery is constantly running low on cans. However, I have started to see their Fresh IPA on tap in Central Florida. If you get the chance to try Fresh and love it as much as I do, make the drive down to Palm Beach for some more amazing beers!

Hidden Springs Ale Works – Tampa Bay

A Florida brewery that I have fallen in love with in more recent years is Hidden Springs Ale Works. This spot also has some amazing IPA’s, as well as groundbreaking sours.

You can find their cans, especially ones like Bear Lazers and ZFG, around Florida, but you have to go to the tap room to find some of their best. I love the lactose sours, including Never Nude, Serenity Now and Electric Pegasus. You will find the small taproom near Armature Works in Tampa. It’s an understated spot, but well worth the trip, especially if they have some unique cans in stock!

J. Wakefield Brewing – Wynwood

J. Wakefield Brewing has a little bit of everything. It’s a Star Wars themed craft brewery in the heart of Wynwood that is known worldwide for their craft beer. They even had a collab with a brewery we went to in Barcelona ! I have had all sorts of styles from here and have yet to be disappointed.

Visiting the brewery and trying their award winning berliners is what especially gave me appreciation for J. Wakefield. They had such a diverse selection of beer and a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, I rarely see their beer in stores or restaurants in Central Florida. If you do see one of their core beers like the Hops 4 Teacher IPA or the El Jefe Hefeweizen, you have got to try them!

Angry Chair Brewing – Tampa Bay

Another Tampa Bay favorite I have to include is Angry Chair Brewing . Across the board, this brewery has done spectacular things with every type of beer. I tried their Space Grass IPA for the first time at Oak and Stone and ever since I have been hooked!

This brewery really has made some of the most flavorful beers I have found, whether in the form of fruity sours or chocolatey stouts. I also love their lactose beers, like the marshmallow puffs series. It has the perfect balance of creaminess and zestiness. This is another one that can be hard to find outside of Tampa, so make sure to visit and sit in a an angry chair next time you are in the area.

Playalinda Brewing Company – Titusville

I support all the Space Coast breweries , but Playalinda Brewing Company is constantly surprising me with what they do next. There are two locations in Titusville, with the Hardware Store being the original location and the Brix Project being their larger brewpub. I enjoy coming here for a flatbread pizza along with a flight of beer.

I first became enamored with this brewery because of their refreshing Key Lime Wheat Ale. It is perfect for after a day at the beach. I have now had dozens of their beers and each is unique. You can find the hoppy Pleasure Chest IPA and the strong bodied Robonaut Red in many stores now, but I especially like seeing the specials they make for Epcot festivals ! The #RainbowSherbertGlitterDreamAle beer and the Violet Lemonade Ale are two of the many interesting brews you can try from Playalinda Brewing!

Cycle Brewing- St. Petersburg

Tampa’s neighbor St. Pete is also bursting with top notch breweries and Cycle Brewing  is one I keep coming back to. The brewery is of course bicycle themed and has an industrial taproom in the downtown area. They are also one of the most popular Tampa Bay Beer Week brewers, with their special releases selling out in hours.

You may have seen the Crank IPA or the Cream and Sugar, Please Porter in stores and both live up to the hype. The super hoppy IPA’s are what always keep me coming back to this brewery. Of all the breweries in St. Pete , this is always my number one recommendation.

Deviant Wolfe Brewing – Sanford

Recently Sanford has made some strides in the Florida brewery scene and Deviant Wolfe Brewing is definitely one of the best you will find here. Located in Historic Sanford, this brewery has a lineup of distinct beers for whatever you are in the mood for.

They are not distributing yet, so you will have to visit the chill taproom or a brewery fest to try their beer. My favorites are the crazy sounding, but so good, Sourmanjaro Coffee Sour and the fruity Matturdays Berliner. Deviant Wolfe Brewing is always adding different beers that sell out fast, so come to the brewery to try what’s new!

Intracoastal Brewing Company – Melbourne

When I moved to Melbourne, Florida, I definitely did not expect any breweries to open up here-never mind one good enough to make it on a best in Florida list! However, Intracoastal Brewing Co. has really shaped the area since opening and now we have a full Ale Trail full of beer options! This brewery especially has grown from a tiny tap room, to a pretty large can production plus biergarten with beer that is recognized statewide.

You can now find their citrusy Dragonpoint IPA at many local restaurants, but their brewery offers so much more. I love going for their Coastal Series IPA’s and the super sour berliners, that are often made into slushees! If that’s not enough of a reason to go, the fact that it is such a community orientated place with weekly fun runs, yoga sessions, trivia nights and live music. There’s a lot to do in Melbourne, Florida , but if you are a beer lover, I would recommend checking out the area for this brewery alone!

First Magnitude Brewing Company – Gainesville

This may not surprise you, but the college town of Gainesville is shaping up to be an excellent brewery town. On my last visit, First Magnitude Brewing Co. was the highlight of my trip. I was enamored with the brewery atmosphere and all the great beer they make!

They usually have a good mix of heavy and lighter beers for whatever mood you are in. The Pale Ale’s like 72 and Ursa were the highlights for me, but they also had saisons and porters and everything in between. I am starting to see cans with their mermaid logo popping up in Orlando. However, the large tap room and the fun scene there definitely added to my admiration of First Magnitude Brewing.

Green Bench Brewing Company – St. Petersburg

I said earlier that Cycle is my favorite St. Pete brewery, but Green Bench Brewing Co. is a very, very close second. They have a huge tap list with all sorts of beers and the relaxing biergarten area that Cycle does not. It is always a great experience going to Green Bench Brewing!

You will see their Sunshine City IPA in stores now and it is a good representation of the tropical, hoppy beer they make. Recently, they opened Webb’s City Cellar next door to experiment with barrel aging and mixed culture sours. It adds a whole new experience to visiting this brewery and I know I’ll be back to try more soon.

Sailfish Brewing Company – Fort Pierce

I’m a little over an hour north of Sailfish Brewing Co. so I have been seeing their beers around for a while. They have some solid core beers like the Sunrise City IPA and the Tag & Release Amber. However, when I finally made it to their brewery, I found some of the most interesting and delicious beers I have tried!

The tap list is always changing here, but I really enjoy the sours. Some of my favorites include the Sour S.M.A.S.H. and the Passing Lane Gose. The tap room is also a really fun spot in the heart of downtown Fort Pierce. We stayed here for a while on their large patio filled with games like corn hole! This is definitely a Florida brewery that every brewery fan should visit.

Sideward Brewing Co. – Orlando

Possibly the newest Orlando brewery on this list is Sideward Brewing Co. It has only been open for two years and have already made some unique and impressive brews. We have came here over half a dozen times because they always have can releases that we can not resist!

Between the beer, food and surprisingly cute Grim Reaper theme, it is a place you will want to visit. Moon Boots and Skull Tattoo are both excellent IPA’s you can find often here. However, do not miss New England IPA’s like Cat Poster or their new Yacht Money. There’s also plenty of other styles and we were especially happy with the German style beers made for Oktoberfest. I can’t wait to see what else this Orlando brewery has to offer!

Cigar City Brewing – Tampa Bay

One of the most famous Florida craft breweries is Cigar City Brewing , a brewery I have known and loved for years. You can find their beers all over, including the Jai Alai IPA, the Guaybera Pale Ale and the Maduro Brown Ale. Their Florida themed beers come in a variety of nuanced flavors and I am always excited when I see a new brew in stores.

The brewery is located in Tampa where you can try beers in the taproom and even take a tour. It did not fully live up to my expectations and most of the taplist was different alterations of their core beers. Regardless, it is still an awesome option for beer wherever you are in the Sunshine State.

Tripping Animals Brewing Co. – Doral

The Miami selection of best Florida breweries is also growing and there are a few new spots I am obsessed with. One of them is Tripping Animals Brewing. I have just started finding their cans of beer here and I am very impressed, especially with the New England IPAs!

The taproom is a laid-back venue with indoor and outdoor space and a game area. They offer food and hard seltzer here, but of course the beer is here they really shine. The hazy IPA and sour options are plentiful, but you can usually find a few darker beers too. My favorites that I have found are Mahi Did It and the I Sea Through You, but everything I have tried from here is fantastic.

Swamp Head Brewery – Gainesville

I was hesitant to put two Gainesville breweries on the list, but after our recent Gainesville visit , I had to include Swamp Head brewery. This is located in a scenic, natural spot near University of Florida with plenty of grassy area to hang out on. We had enjoyed their beers, like the Big Nose IPA, for years, but visiting the brewery and getting to try a flight of different pale ales and wheat beers was an all-around wonderful experience.

You can usually find a few of their core beers distributed throughout Central Florida, but you will have to take a visit to Gainesville to try their latest and greatest brews! Some that stood out to me were the Lazer Panther NE IPA and the Down Deep Guava IPA. Seeing a little gator hanging out near a swamp really enhances the experience while drinking it though!

7venth Sun Brewery – Tampa Bay

While 7venth Sun Brewing may not be the most notable Tampa Bay brewery on the list, it is definitely one you can’t miss. I had never seen their beer in stores anywhere, so I was pleasantly surprised by how good the beer is here at the brewery. They had a huge tap list of all sorts of amazing things to try!

Some of my favorites include the Graffiti Orange Wheat the Tootsie Pop Pour series. They are renowned for their sours and IPA’s, but have plenty of delicious dark beers on tap too. If that is not enough reason to go, then you definitely will want to just for the stunning beer flight trees!

Barrel of Monks Brewing – Boca Raton

Another brewery that I have not visited, but is on the top of my brewery bucket list is Barrel on Monks Brewing. I’ve had a few beers from this Boca Raton spot, but the figgy pudding brew they had for the Epcot Festival of Holidays, solidified them as one of the best Florida breweries.

Barrel of Monks specializes in Belgian inspired ales, so if you prefer classic beer, this is the brewery for you! They are known for witbiers, dubbels, tripels like The Wizard and Three Fates. You can occasionally find their beer in stores, but the stylish tasting room is worth a visit on its own.

Funky Buddha Brewery – Fort Lauderdale

I had a hard time deciding whether or not to include Funky Buddha Brewery on the list. I was a huge fan of them when I first moved here and it was one of the first breweries I visited. Unfortunately, I have not been as happy with their beer since they were bought by Constellation Brands.

I used to love their dessert themed beers like the Lemon Meringue and the Strawberry Shortcake, and their brown ales and stouts. Now, it seems like they are never releasing new beers to stores and the Hop Gun IPA and the Florida Hefeweizen that I can’t get, aren’t as distinct as they used to be. Still, it is a really cool brewery to visit, and they do have solid beer options, so I decided to include it. Hopefully they will live up to their original self again soon!

Aardwolf Brewing Company – Jacksonville

Jacksonville is another spot with an up-and-coming brewery scene, and I am starting to see a lot of great beers from here. My favorite that I have tried is Aardwolf Brewing Company. You can find them in Historic San Marco where they have a large outdoor biergarten and a cozy, brick taproom.

When we visited, they had a huge list of beers to try including IPAs, sours, stouts and even their own hard seltzers. My favorite was the Rainbow in the Hops Imperial IPA, that is extremely deceptive 10.5% ABV. I really like the mix of trendy brews and trying out different creations, like a barley wine. They aren’t distributing yet, but I hope to see them in stores eventually!

Invasive Species Brewing – Fort Lauderdale

Though Funky Buddha often dominates the Fort Lauderda le craft beer scene , we found a few other notable breweries on our last visit. My favorite of these was Invasive Species Brewing. The taproom has a funky, rustic vibe going on with some old Florida quirkiness. This was unique, but even more so was the beer!

I hope I don’t sound like a broken record, but this was another Florida brewery that excels in IPA’s and sours. However, as opposed to the others, it had a wide variety of beer offerings, including light and crisp lagers that I do not see often. Invasive Species also had some very interesting creations like a beer sake hybrid and a mixed culture, barrel aged sour. My top taster was the hazy Battle Llama, but I enjoyed the more west coast style IPAs too.

Millennial Brewing Company – Fort Myers

I had a hard time picking which Fort Myers brewery should be included, but based on the beer and the atmosphere, I think Millennial Brewing is the best. Located in a warehouse downtown, this brewery serves up so many different kinds of flavorful brews. You can relax with your pooch in the open concept market inside or on the outdoor patio.

When we visited, I was very surprised by how much I like the sweet beers, as I usually prefer hoppy and sour ones. However, Millennial Brewing has a great balance of making sweet beers that are still refreshing and not too heavy. The French Toast Brown especially stood out to me, but the X-Wing Apricot and Blueberry Pancakes were right up there too! This brewery is also extremely community minded and often hosts other business, food trucks and even offers nonalcoholic cocktails. It’s a brewery that feels very Floridian and good choice to end this list with!

Know Before You Go: The Best Florida Breweries

Currently, I have visited 57 different Florida breweries and have tried the beer from many more! I would love to visit every single one eventually. For now, these are the ones that stick out to me, whether I have tried them in the taproom or in cans. I will update this list yearly, so let me know if there are any I need to add! Here’s some things to know before visiting your next Florida brewery.

• You will find the highest concentration of the best Florida breweries in Tampa Bay area . Other areas with a large brewing scene include Orlando , Jacksonville, the Space Coast and Miami .
• Most of the breweries on this list frequently have live music, events or food trucks. Check out the brewery’s individual website or Facebook page for more info.
• Technically dogs are not allowed inside Florida breweries, but restrictions vary. Pretty much all breweries allow dogs on the patio if they have one though!
• Many of the best Florida breweries offer 32 ounce and 64 ounce growlers and crowlers if you want beer to go.
• Never drink and drive! I recommend calling a Lyft when you are touring breweries.

Which places do you think are the best Florida breweries? I had a hard time even narrowing this list to 21! To find out more Florida breweries to try, check out my Ale Trail to Cocoa Beach and Melbourne, Florida.

The 13 Best Florida Breweries and Local Florida Beers

• By FTL Staff
• Updated: February 12, 2014

Beer is always good. But locally brewed beer? Now we’re talking. Grab a pint (or four) at these local Florida breweries, and create your own tasting tour. Cheers!

Funky Buddha Brewing, Oakland Park

Formerly a beer and hookah lounge in Boca Raton, the brewery has moved into a 20,000-square-foot space in Oakland Park (halfway between Pompano Beach and Ft. Lauderdale). Food trucks visit every night with local food and pairings available.

Try: Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. Period.

Rapp Brewing Company, Seminole

Small-batch ales and lagers are on tap at this brewery just outside St. Petersburg. Try a flight of 4, 6 or 9 of their beers, including their award-winning Gose, a German-style witbier.

Try : It’s OK to name your beer OMG Ale when it’s 20 percent alcohol by volume.

Wynwood Brewing Co., Miami

Wynwood, formerly a garment district, is bustling with a rebirth, and this trendy tap room is a draw for South Florida’s swanky set sick of sugary cocktails. The neighborhood’s artsy vibe has seeped into the place: The taps are retrofitted spray paint cans.

Try: The La Rubia blonde ale is perky and refreshing, while Pop’s Porter is like an iced black coffee with a kick.

The Ravenous Pig, Winter Park

Larry Foor is the brewer-in-chief at the Cask & Larder Brewery , which shares the space at The Ravenous Pig , its sister restaurant Cask & Larder has relocated to the Orlando International Airport. While the “Cask” has moved, the brewer remains and competes with the food for space in fans’ stomachs.

Try: Brews include Belgian-style sours and an Olde Southern witbier.

7venth Sun Brewing, Dunedin

This place has beer down to a science–literally. Co-founded by a former brewmaster at Anheuser-Busch with a degree in fermentation science and a former brewer at Cigar City, 7venth Sun is a micro-microbrewery with a four-and-a-half barrel system.

Try: Taps here run the gamut from Belgian-style beer brewed with grapes to extra-hoppy IPAs. If you’re feeling fruity, go with the Key Lime Time Bomb Session IPA.

Cycle Brewing, St. Petersburg

Cycle Brewing is part of Downtown St. Pete’s craft beer scene and features a brewery and tasting room. Want to drink their creations at home? Fill a Growler to go and you’re all set.

Try: While there are seasonal beers to sample, don’t leave without trying the flagship brew: Freewheel Pale Ale, a hoppy elixir made with pineapple, passion fruit and other exotic fruits.

Green Room Brewing, Jacksonville

Sixteen taps, nine of which rotate through seasonal and guest brews, are on deck at this beachside brewhouse . They’re closed Monday, but open late six days a week.

Try: Something light? Go with the citrusy Head High pale ale. Something dark? Shaka Oatmeal Stout, brewed with roasted malt.

Tequesta Brewing Company

Due north of the Jupiter Inlet Lighhouse is where you’ll find this young brewery (opened in 2011), which has already won a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival. Get yourself a pint (open noon to 11p.m. Tuesday through Sunday) and grab a seat on one of the sofas.

Try: Terminally Ale. Get it?

Dunedin Brewery, Dunedin

Aside from the beers, crafted 15 barrels at a time, Florida’s oldest craft brewery has quite a busy events calendar (Wednesdays is Open Jam, featuring local bands). Tours of the brewery are available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 5pm; $5 includes tour, a logoed glass, and samples.

Try: The uber-popular Apricot Peach Ale, and Biere du Cafe, brewed with locally-roasted coffee and cacao beans.

Swamp Head Brewery, Gainesville

Known as “The Wetlands,” Swamp Head’ s tasting room has five brews on tap. But FYI: there is nothing bottled to buy retail. However, they will refill your 32- and 128-ounce (gallon) growlers. Just bring your own jug or purchase one there.

Try: Swamp Head has a number of brews with great names (Stump Knocker, Midnight Oil). If you gotta sample one, start with Wild Night, a cream ale brewed with Tupelo honey.

Orlando Brewing Company, Orlando

You’ll think you’ve taken a wrong turn (yes, you’re next to the Amtrak station), but the spacious warehouse is home to Florida’s only USDA-certified organic brewery . The tap room is pet- and kid-friendly; you sip and sample while the kiddies play life-sized Jenga.

Try: Don’t miss the chocolatey Girl Stout, an homage to the Thin Mint cookie.

Cigar City Brewing, Tampa

Take the brewery tour for $5 and get a pint of your favorite brew and a glass to take home. (Make a reservation beforehand at cigarcitybrewing.com ) On weekends, food trucks (Cajun in a Truck and American Wiener, to name a couple) park outside. Or visit the Cigar City Brewpub, just 15 minutes down Dale Mabry Highway, for a killer brunch paired with microbrews.

Try: The bitter, biting citrus of Tocobago Red Ale. Or plan a visit on Hunahpu’s Day, where people line up around the block for the Hunahpu’s Imperial Stout, brewed once a year and sold only that day. (Sorry, tickets for 2014 are already sold out).

Persimmon Hollow Brewing, DeLand

Explore downtown DeLand for an afternoon and you’ll find Persimmon Hollow housed in a very cool historic building. The impressive taproom features rotating limited release brews, and several core beers are kept on hand for the locals that love them. Visitors looking for a nibble to couple with their cold one are encouraged to order from the menu at the bar featuring a knock-out taco list from Neighbors Artisan Taqueria , conveniently located across the street.

Try: A Daytona Dirty Blonde, which recently won the silver medal at The 2017 Best Florida Beer Championship .
