Craft beer enthusiasts fit right in amid Wynwood’s artsy, hipster vibe. The neighborhood is home to a host of beer spots to get your buzz on, including Wynwood Brewing Company (which claims to be Miami’s first craft production brewery), Veza Sur, Concrete Beach Brewery, and J Wakefield Brewing. It’s also home to Sprung! Beer Festival, happening Saturday, April 7 at Wynwood Marketplace. Tickets get you unlimited craft brew samples with options for VIP passes and “Beer Socialite” packages that come with a souvenir pint glass. 

The festival is a great place to find a brew you like and stick to it, but fortunately, you can venture beyond Sprung! to find quality craft beer in Miami. Below, read up on seven neighborhood spots for craft beers all year round.

Boxelder Craft Beer Market - Wynwood

OK, so the list starts in Wynwood, but this neighborhood truly has a lot to offer for beer lovers. Chief among its sudsy standouts is Boxelder Craft Beer Market, a taproom/market combo on NW 2nd Avenue. Local and international brews commingle on 20 taps that rotate daily; recently, Boxelder had the “Captain Jack” on tap, a Florida stout brewed with stone crabs that we can’t recommend but also can’t not recommend. At the market portion of Boxelder, choose from more than 150 bottles to create the perfect mix ‘n’ match six-pack. 

Kush - Wynwood / Edgewater

Arguably more Edgewater than Wynwood, Kush is a neighborhood spot that features a full food menu alongside 18 taps of tasty craft brews. Word to the wise: it gets busy. But there’s an adjacent bar, Botanica, for you to enjoy as you wait for a seat. 

LoKal - Coconut Grove

Matthew and Priscilla Kuscher opened LoKal in Coconut Grove first, followed by KUSH (above) to create something of a gastropub-meets-craft-beer empire. The bar’s name stems from a German word that translates to a restaurant and meeting place. LoKal lives up to its origins with an emphasis on locality, too — the owners highlight Florida brews and ingredients as often as possible and use only clean, renewable energy sources.

The Mighty - Shenandoah

Charcuterie and house-made sausages are a natural companion to beer, so get to pairing at The Mighty. Though you’ll find only 12 taps that rotate weekly (compared with larger, quicker rotations at other spots), The Mighty has gotten some mighty good press lately — CraftBeer.com named it among its 51 Great American Beer Bars in 2016.

The Union Beer Store - Little Havana

This newbie, which opened in January 2017, sits right on Little Havana’s Calle Ocho. The narrow bar packs in drafts from local breweries as well as a wide selection of bottles in the back. The awning out front boasts, “Good Beer Here!” but what they’re not telling you is that you can find good tacos, too. El Punto from Tacos and Tattoos is a speakeasy in the back of the store. 

The Butcher Shop Beer Garden - Wynwood

Imbibe al fresco at The Butcher Shop Beer Garden, which sports a very literal name: there’s a butcher shop on-site, and there’s a beer garden, too. Father and son owners Igor and Fred Niznik offer a mix of rotating taps and bottles alongside “forever taps” that you can always count on. Those include local offerings like the Jai Alai IPA from Cigar City (Tampa Bay), cider from Accomplice (West Palm Beach), and Floridian Hefeweizen from Funky Buddha (Fort Lauderdale).

Abbey Brewing Company - South Beach

The self-described “oldest and only brew-pub” in Miami Beach, Abbey Brewing Company features four house recipes, including the strong, dark Brother Aaron’s Quadruple. Those in search of a lighter option can order the Immaculate IPA. European imports help bolster the range of offerings, all a salve for South Beach’s clubbier, vodka-tini scene. Bonus: it’s right next door to the southern food spot Yardbird.
