The Rise in Popularity of South Florida Beer

South Florida is rapidly becoming the home of some of the best breweries in the region, and with good reason. Miami and Fort Lauderdale are probably the best-known cities in this area, with the highest concentration of specialist craft beers. Discover the recommended hot spots as detailed below.

Miami Breweries

The Abbey Brewing Co. has been in existence for over 25 years and is renowned for being Miami's only brewpub. The Belgian style beer is particularly popular and matches well with the house burgers.

Not to be missed is the Concrete Beach Brewery with its stunning, industrial decor. The ales and lagers are said to be quite subtle but still have a flavor to be admired, ideal for sipping slowly on the outdoor patio.

Star Wars enthusiasts shouldn't miss out on a visit to J Wakefield Brewing, with its themed murals. The collection of draft beers include IPAs, lagers, pilsners, and strong stouts.

Fort Lauderdale Breweries

The Khoffner Brewery has been in the same family for three generations and is known for its dark beer, crafted in a German-style. Brewery tours are available for an insight into the production process.

The aptly named LauderAle bar is described as a nano brewery, creating smaller batches of craft beer. Guests can also enjoy backyard games and food.

A visit to South Florida ticks all the boxes when looking for delicious beer and warm hospitality.
