10 Best Breweries in Surfside

"Much has changed since Wynwood Brewing Company opened its doors in 2013. The neighborhood, once home to warehouses and pop up art shows and galleries, has become a destination shopping and dining area. And though the city now has several breweries churning out unique beers, Wynwood was the first craft brewery in Miami, and it still ranks at the top of the list, pouring favorites like the Blonde Ale, barrel-aged Strong Ales, a changing roster of seasonal brews and its Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal-winning Pop’s Porter, a robust brew with hints of chocolate and coffee with a smooth, dry finish."

"This family-owned hangout is Miami’s first craft beer brewery. Wynwood Brewing Company has its own 15-barrel brew house and tap room, and was launched with the goal of introducing Miami beer drinkers to local South Florida beers. On the menu, find six of its own: La Rubia Blonde Ale, Wynwood IPA India Pale Ale, the medal-winning Pop’s Porter Robust Porter, Lock On Dry-Hopped Lager, Father Francisco Belgian-Style Golden Ale and other seasonal brews."

"For craft beer nerds, J. Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews. Cocktail enthusiasts will love the speakeasy-like back room at Coyo Taco – you’ll just walk through the door at the back of the restaurant marked “Staff Only” to access the hidden, dimly-lit mezcal lounge."

"If you aren't careful, you could mistake the front of the graffiti-covered J. Wakefield Brewing as just another art installation in the many creative Wynwood Walls. However, this is the tap room you are looking for, complete with Star Wars décor."

"Bars Breweries Wynwood. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 5–7pm. Standout beer: El Jefe"

"If you are looking for a trendy Wynwood brewery, then check out Veza Sur. The large black wall branding the brewery is extremely hard to miss. 10 Barrel Brewing Company and Colombia’s Bogata Beer Company joined together to provide an interesting and cozy location that has a feel reminiscent of a home library or den. On the menu, you will find choices that include:"

"Located north of Downtown Miami, Veza Sur Brewing Co. stays true to its Latin-American roots, right in the creative Wynwood neighborhood. Veza Sur doesn’t disappoint with creativity either. Recently, they dropped a coffee porter slushy with Twix bars on top."

"Review: Friendly servers, fun atmosphere, flavorful flights of beers. Dogfish Head Miami opened its doors when Concrete Beach Brewery closed its social hall. This vibrant and creative brewery has a cult following in Delaware (and you can join their Off-Centered Society, a rewards program that’s kind of like a secret society!)."

"Focal Brewing Co.is a locally owned brewery right in the heart of Little River. Stop in for the daily happy hour (starts at 5 pm) with fantastic music. It’s great for pop, rock, and jazz listeners!"

"Bars Breweries Little River. Happy hour: Yes, Fri 4–7:30pm. Standout beer: Honey Blonde"

"With about a dozen specialty beers on tap (plus seasonal selections) and another half-dozen or so microbrews in bottle, Titanic may not have the biggest selection, but there's no arguing that this brewery and restaurant has the most flavorful, carefully crafted beer in town. Brewmaster Jamie Ray whips up at least half of the daily draught offerings, including the evocatively named Boiler Room Nut Brown Ale and Triple Screw light ale, and he keeps receiving national awards for them at competitions where the judges, for the record, never spit. Then there are all the beer-related events -- live blues-and-brews, Mug Club specials, name-that-brewski contests, University of Miami sports nights, Brewmaster dinners, free T-shirt happy hours."

"In 1982 two Florida International University students in their early twenties, Patrick Gleber and Kevin Rusk, helped transform Miami's oldest bar, Tobacco Road, from a decrepit, crime-ridden dive into one of the most popular food and music venues in the county. Then came Fishbone Grille, continuing a tradition of excellent food at a moderate price. So in 1997, when Rusk announced he was going to start a brew pub in Coral Gables, it seemed a recipe for success."

"Deep in stories and rich in history,NightLife Brewing captures Miami’s world-famous action inside their taproom. Nightlife also doesn’t fall short of their motto, “Producing amazing brews worthy of the magic city.” Some flagship beers include Spitfire Redhead (Rye Saison) and Daring Brunette (brown ale). NightLife settles in a 1,500 square foot taproom located outside Marlins Park in Little Havana."

"Little Havana's Nightlife Brewing Company, located at 1588 N.W. Seventh St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the brewery and venue/event space 4.5 stars out of 57 reviews."

"The BEST and most beautiful church I’ve ever been to in my entire life. It’s in a hidden part of Coconut Grove near Mercy Hospital. This place is right by… read more »"

"Just shy of the beachfront, visiting West Lake Park is ones of the best things to do in Hollywood, Florida if you love to Kayak. You see, here they have a heap of waterways to test your skills and master the art of bobbing and not crashing into fellow kayakers. Trust me, that’s the biggest challenge… I always end up smacking into Yaya, which usually results in a few splashes from his paddle!"

"West Lake and its surrounding mangrove forest occupy the center of the park and are the domain of boaters and kayakers who put in from the ramps at the main entrance. Boaters can head south to exit to the Stranahan River at the south end of the lake. Kayakers have some mazy meanders to explore where the canal meets the lake."

"Continue your exploration of Miami street art and mouth-watering food by driving north to Wynwood, the city’s artsy neighborhood. This up-and-coming district was nothing more than warehouses and wholesale retail stores a few years ago, but it’s now home to some of Miami’s best restaurants, trendiest bars, and most Instagrammable spots."

"Without traffic, the drive from Little Havana to Wynwood will only take 15 minutes. You may have caught a glimpse of colorful, large-scale murals while driving on I-95, but nothing can prepare you for the breathtaking art that overwhelms the Wynwood Art District just north of Downtown Miami."

Let’s be honest for a second, there’s nothing more comforting than a grilled cheese, and at New York Grilled Cheese the comfort level is at an all-time high. All of the restaurant's grilled cheese sandwiches are put in a waffle iron to let the bread get even more crispy and give way to the gooey cheese inside."
