Where Miami drinks local: brewpubs, taprooms and the new wave.
Taprooms, brewpubs and the local beer scene in Miami worth taking a tram to.
Casa La Rubia in Miami's Wynwood is the rebranded Veza Sur taproom at 55 NW 25th Street, pouring Veza Sur and Wynwood Brewing flagships side by side.
Tip: Locals still call it Veza Sur. La Rubia blonde and Wynwood's Pops Porter both pour on tap; the outdoor yard fills early Sundays.
Lincoln's Beard Brewing in Miami is the 2016 Westchester taproom at 7360 SW 41st Street in the Bird Road Art District, with Tacos & Tattoos on the back patio.
Tip: Wednesday karaoke is a local rite. The IPA flight is the order; food trucks rotate weekly on the back patio.
The Tank Brewing in Miami is the 25,000-square-foot Doral warehouse brewery at 5100 NW 72nd Avenue, with a taproom and cigar lounge open since 2016.
Tip: Closed Mondays. The cigar lounge is the after-hours move; pair with a Doral lager or the Pinatas Mexican-style lager.
Miami Brewing Company in Homestead is on Schnebly Redland's Winery grounds at 30205 SW 217th Avenue, with a tropical-fruit portfolio and weekend live music.
Tip: Drive-down trip from the city. Pair the Big Rod Coconut Ale with the winery's mango wine for the Homestead orchard pivot.
M.I.A. Beer Company in Doral is the 2013 craft brewery at 10400 NW 33rd Street, now an expanded beer-and-distillery hall trading as MIA Bruhaus.
Tip: The 305 Blonde and Miami Weiss are the year-round pours; the Grain and Still side adds craft cocktails to the same room.
