  This place is popular enough without my review chiming in, but I really loved my first visit! This is definitely a great spot to bring friends from out of town for a drink. It really showcases the Florida vibe, with a great selection of beers.
  
  We actually went here to check out the Flamingo Flea market, which I think they host once a month. It was a wonderful chance to check out some local vendors while enjoying this great local beer! We really had a lot of fun, they even had live music and the atmosphere was super inviting.
  
  The decor here as I mentioned is very Floridian and chill. When you first walks in it actually looks like a little down south cottage which lots of cool art pieces and antiques lining the walls.
  
  We got to try some of their brunch items which were delicious. I would definitely recommend it for a small group of you aren't too dead set on needing a mimosa with your breakfast wrap lol. It was a super busy afternoon but the staff remained friendly and quick to serve.
  
  I will definitely be back with friends, hopefully for more fun local events.

  4.5 really.
  
  Larry S. and I came here last night for a friend's birthday gathering. It's located in an out of the way spot with a decent amount of parking. They did a great job converting a warehouse - the place is basically a gigantic warehouse with brewing equipment and an area for games (cornhole, darts, etc), with an air conditioned restaurant built inside of it. Very clever!
  
  I will admit I was slightly hangry when we arrived and the live music immediately got on my nerves. They had a guy with an amplified acoustic guitar belting out all your "favorite" singer-songwriter hits from the '90's at TOP VOLUME! We were a little early for the b-day gathering, so we headed to the back (away from the music!) to order some food and drinks. Larry S. got something hazy and a giant pretzel with IPA cheese. I got the Boysen Blue and a pizza. The beers came right out and were DELISH! The food was also excellent. When the food arrived, we took it inside the restaurant part as the un-airconditioned rear area was too hot.
  
  When we were ready for round two, we opted for a beer flight of four 5 ounce samples. We tried the Oktoberfest, the Wit-r-melon, the Secret Woods and the Gatorale. The standout was the Wit beer... light, refreshing and with a hint of watermelon rind.
  
  I thought the pricing was great - superb beer for around $6 a pint. No complaints! The food was also reasonable. The crowd skews a bit young and hipster, but there were some older folks (including our group!). The only negative was that the acoustics weren't great and it was really loud! I will definitely return to sample more great beer!

  Fun and diverse brewery in a great location.
  
  They have plenty of room for different crowds and or wants and needs when it comes to going out for a bite, beers, and entertainment.
  
  Food was good, they were able to sit a group of about 10 without prior reservations on a Saturday afternoon/ evening.
  
  Service was good. They had a comedian on the patio, a ping pong table next to the brewery area. The bar had its own room for those who like to hang by the bar, and then you have an isolated room with more privacy for smaller/private gatherings. Pretty neat

  I don't understand how they can be out of specific beers during lunch on a Friday?! It also just happened that they were out of the two beers I was looking forward to trying the most. Not sure if they were out of the beers, or if they were switched out and the draft list wasn't updated.
  
  I visited for the beer and was praying for decent food. I actually ended up enjoying the food more than the beer.
  
  I did the flight (4, 5 oz pours for $10): Morning Express:Coffee Stout (out, replaced with a cinnamon/blueberry porter), Danky Doodle Dandy (out, replaced with Deflated, without notifying me), Hopsta Luego, and Chopped and Hopped.
  
  Favorites: Hopsta Luego: Hop forward, hazy, citrusy.
  Indifferent: Chopped and Hopped, and Deflated
  Dislikes: Morning Express: Gross.
  
  I've had Deflated before and I like it. But, they should have notified me before they did the switch. (Ordered the flight to try new/different beers).
  
  Beer wasn't served cold enough for my liking.
  
  Food: Shrimp and Grit Cakes. This dish was delicious. The shrimp was fresh, and the grit cakes had really nice texture. The sauce had a subtle, yet refined flavor profile. I wasn't expecting this. I was left wanting a lot more.
  
  Service was solid. There is street parking and a few spots on the grass/dirt adjacent to the building.

  There's always something happening here! Yesterday was Brunch and Brews with a side of shopping! Several local vendors came and set up tables with all their products on display from 2-5. I had brunch with a group of 7 and we all had a blast enjoying great beer, good food and watching the Dolphins lose another football game. The furniture is a little eclectic (some more comfortable than others). If you have a pup, this is a great place to bring your dog too! I really like craft beer so that's why draws me here and I like how the seating is spread out which makes it really comfortable for big or small groups to enjoy their own space. We choose the biggest table by the fan ha! There is free parking in the back (by the railroad tracks) and a pay to park lot by the main entrance.
