Quench Your Thirst at One of Wynwood’s Craft Breweries

If you’re a fan of fresh pours and local brewing talent, Wynwood’s craft beer scene won’t disappoint. While the landscape is continually evolving, these standout breweries continue to deliver big flavor, cool vibes, and a sense of local pride.

Casa La Rubia (Formerly Veza Sur Brewing Co.)

Recently rebranded but still beloved, Casa La Rubia blends Latin flair with serious brewing chops. Expect refreshing, sessionable beers like blonde ales and lagers infused with tropical ingredients. Their Mangolandia is a crowd favorite, capturing the spirit of Miami in a pint.

The laid-back beer garden setting, complete with a Latin soundtrack and food trucks, makes it a great place to relax with friends—or make new ones.

Cervecería La Tropical

Inspired by the original Cuban brewery founded in Havana in 1888, Cervecería La Tropical brings heritage and innovation together in one lush, colorful location. Their flagship La Original amber lager is smooth and balanced, and seasonal brews often showcase island flavors like guava or passionfruit.

The brewery also features a restaurant serving Latin-Caribbean cuisine, a tropical beer garden, and regular live music, making it more than just a spot for a pint. It’s a full Wynwood experience.

J Wakefield Brewing

A must-visit for Star Wars fans and sour beer lovers alike, J Wakefield Brewing has built a cult following with its bold, hop-forward IPAs and inventive Berliner weisses. Sadly, their original taproom in Wynwood is now closed, but the brewery itself is still active, and we’re all the better off for that! If you spot their beers on tap or find their cans around town, grab one!
