As a beer lover myself, one of the activities I always recommend is to check out local craft breweries – so to help you do the same, I’ve put together this list of the awesome breweries in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Florida is one of my favorite beer destinations. Not only are the beers great, but the breweries themselves make such cool places to while away your days in the sun.
Palm Beach County is loaded with craft breweries from top to bottom, Jupiter to Boca Raton. You probably won’t have time to visit them all (unless you live there, lucky!) but this guide to the breweries in Palm Beach County can help you pick and choose.
Where to stay in Palm Beach
Palm Beach County, Florida is more than just Palm Beach. It also includes the cities of Jupiter, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and a handful of others in between.
However, the best and easiest way to see all this area has to offer and, ahem, drink all the beers at all the breweries in Palm Beach County, you’ll want to stay in the actual town of Palm Beach.
Palm Beach is actually smack in the middle of Palm Beach County, halfway down between Jupiter and Boca Raton. It’s also the most visitor-friendly spot in the area. So when you’re ready to check out the breweries in Palm Beach County, start your planning with these awesome Palm Beach hotels.
Now let’s get to the good stuff! Stop by these breweries in Palm Beach County on your next visit and enjoy sipping in the sunshine at its best.
Breweries in Palm Beach County: the Palm Beaches
Since you’ll most likely be staying in Palm Beach while you’re here, let’s start with the breweries here on the Palm Beaches. I’m nothing if not efficient when it comes to beer drinking.
1. Coastal Karma Brewing – Lake Park
Between North and West Palm Beach you’ll find Coastal Karma Brewing whose slogan is “Good beers, good times, good karma.” And that sounds about as chilled-out-Florida as you can get.
Come check out their spacious and comfortable (honestly, why can’t all bars have seats like this?) taproom and try beers like:
- Nothing Butta Peach Sour
- Ol’ Salty Stour – I do like my beers salty.
- Professor Pickle’s Sour (I am 100% behind pickle beers—don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it!)
Another of Florida’s great pet-friendly taprooms (they have a cat!), Coastal Karma offers trivia nights, happy hours, and cornhole league nights.
2. Royal Palm Brewing Company – Royal Palm Beach
For something a little more “traditional,” head to Royal Palm Brewing Company, the first microbrewery to set up shop in Royal Palm Beach.
Here you’ll find beers that totally run the gamut—everything from simple IPAs, lagers, wheat beers, sours, ambers, and more. If you’ve got a hankering for it, chances are you’ll find something here you’ll like. I’ve personally got my eye on the Setka dark Czech-style lager.
Unlike most taprooms, Royal Palm Brewing Company also has a full kitchen serving appetizers (including, yes, jumbo pretzels!), wraps, Cuban sandwiches, and much more.
3. Skunkworts Brewing Concern – West Palm Beach
I gotta admit, nothing about the name of this place really lures me in. Like, should I? Should I be concerned?
However, this place is fantastic. According to their website, the name is actually a reference to Skunk Works, the legendary developers of Lockheed Martin’s most cutting-edge aircraft. And being a huge av-geek myself, I’m totally on board.
Better yet, they have just the beers I’m looking for. Stop into Skunkworts Brewing Concern for a German pilsner, a Munich helles, a hefeweizen, or if you’re more into hops than I am, you can also try their selection of IPAs.
Come check them out at their awesome aviation-themed taproom, kick back with a few on their patio, then fill a growler and take some to-go.
4. Steam Horse Brewing – West Palm Beach
Steam Horse Brewing is actually the brainchild of the brew masters of two other popular breweries in Palm Beach County—Tequesta and Twisted Trunk.
Thanks to its location in West Palm Beach’s Warehouse District, they have a huge taproom serving up a wide range of beer styles in a setting dedicated to vintage steam trains. (Ok, I love how into vintage transportation these breweries are!)
At Steam Horse you can enjoy beers like:
- Peachy Keen Sour (I have a type.)
- Gnarly Barly IPA
- West Palm Lager – European Style Lager
If you’re hungry, you can grab some grub from the nearby Grandview Public Market and bring it with you.
5. The Kelsey City Brewing Co – Lake Park
Also in Palm Beach County’s Lake Park Arts District is The Kelsey City Brewing Co. located at the Brewhouse Gallery, a single space containing an art gallery, a music venue, and this craft beer taproom.
They have 30 beers on tap and highlight local artists at once. Here, you can also experience live music, trivia nights, painting classes, and a rotating selection of food providers as well. Stop into the spacious Brewhouse Gallery to check out some of The Kelsey City Brewing Co.’s great beers like:
- Prosperity Farms Belgian Wit
- Mangonia Floridaweiss
- Capt. JJ’s Pineapple Wit
- And so many more great options.
6. Twisted Trunk Brewing – Palm Beach Gardens
Serving up a mixed selection of beers in a super cozy but spacious taproom (couches in bars are my favorite thing) is Twisted Trunk Brewing in chill Palm Beach Gardens–home and headquarters of the PGA in case you were looking for a little factoid.
Twisted Trunk is part of the Steam Horse-Tequesta brewery trifecta and they’re a true favorite ‘round these parts. The name Twisted Trunk was inspired by the awesome Banyan trees found throughout the area (and much of southern Florida).
Here, you can sample beers like:
- Finn McCool – Irish red ale
- Peachy Keen – Peach cobbler sour, what on earth?
- Palm Beach Pilz – German pilsner
But maybe the best part about this brewery trifecta is that each taproom sells beers from the others. So maybe just choose the one closest to where you’re staying and call it a day!
7. Dixie Grill & Brewery Co. – West Palm Beach
The Dixie Grill & Brewery is your local brewpub serving up delicious Southern/Florida favorites, some awesome craft beers, and happy hour to make them all go down a bit easier. They have a wide range of beers for you to try, like:
- Trust No Blonde Porter
- Pineapple Cherry Sour
- Druncle Anny Scotch Ale
Breweries in Palm Beach County: Boynton Beach
Just a quick drive south (20 minutes) from West Palm Beach you’ll find another handful of great breweries in Palm Beach County in Boynton Beach.
8. Copperpoint Brewing Company
Copperpoint Brewing Company—not to be confused with Coppertail Brewing Co. in Tampa’s historic Ybor City—is one of Palm Beach County’s most popular and proud to still be independently owned and operated.
They have a large taproom with both indoor and outdoor seating, employ a rotating diverse list of food trucks on site, and offer free brewery tours every Saturday.
Stop by Copperpoint to enjoy such brews as:
- Bee’s Squeeze – Blonde ale with local honey
- A-10 Red IPA
- Blood Orange Wit – Belgian wit
- B. Rabbit Espresso Cream Stout – Nitro cream stout with coffee (Nitro beers are the best beers imo)
…and many more that I didn’t list here. Obviously they have something for every kind of taste.
Heading to Orlando too? Don’t miss an unforgettable visit to the new Orlando beer spa! Get all the details in that link.
9. NOBO Brewing Company
Located in the heart of North Boynton Beach is NOBO Brewing Company and I bet you can’t guess what NOBO stands for. Oh, you haven’t started drinking yet? Then you’re good.
NOBO Brewing Company operates an indoor/outdoor taproom serving up interesting beers like:
- Jalapeño Honey Blonde – with over 3 pounds of local orange blossom honey per barrel + jalapeños
- What’s My HAZE Again – New England IPA
- Facebook Jail – something bloggers know too much about – Pilsner
- Raise a Hefe for Jim Wheat Beer
- And a long list of others/rotating/coming soon varieties
Breweries in Palm Beach County: Boca Raton
As the southernmost city in Palm Beach County, Boca Raton is known for golf courses and beaches and… ok what else? Little else. But I’m on a mission to make it known for craft beer too. Check out these Boca Raton breweries while visiting Palm Beach County. Maybe in between tee times.
10. Barrel of Monks Brewing
Given that Belgian beers are possibly my favorite beers, any brewery with the name Monks in it has captured my heart from the get-go. Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca Raton is no different… but it is different from just about all the other breweries in Palm Beach County.
At BoM you can drink:
- Single in the Sun – Belgian-style blonde ale
- Abbey Terno – Belgian Dubbel
- Three Fates – Belgian Tripel
- Wizard – Belgian-style Witbier whose logo is reminiscent of Gandalf, my favorite wizard if you were wondering. A Belgian wit with a Lord of the Rings vibe? I am here for it!
- And a long list of others
You can try all these beers and more in their “laid-back and lusciously dark taproom” (their words), enjoy eats from their partner food provider Cheffrey Eats, and even take tours of the brewery while you’re there.
11. Crazy Uncle Mike’s
Crazy Uncle Mike’s—the home of “brews, bites, and beats”—is a brewery, restaurant, and music venue, not just a simple taproom. But yes, this is where they brew all their delicious beers. Brews like:
- Physical Graffiti – New England IPA
- License to Pils – Czech Pilsner
- Flower Girl – Belgian Witbier
- Lite My Fire – Lite Blonde Lager
- And many more
Crazy Uncle Mike’s also boasts a full restaurant with burgers, tacos, entrees, and so much other good stuff. They also have a full entertainment and event calendar stuffed with live music, game nights, 90s brunch & bingo, and more.
12. Prosperity Brewers
Prosperity Brewers’ industrial warehouse taproom is a great place to experience a crisp happy hour in Boca Raton. Just off the beach, this place in the new warehouse district has such a laid-back, wear your flip-flops, vibe. Some of the beers you can try here are:
- Intra-KOLSCH-tal
- Mexican Hot Chocolate – Imperial stout
- Vanilla Villiam – Vanilla cream ale
- White Denimc – Belgian Witbier
- And many more with taps rotating daily
They offer live music, trivia, a delicious variety of food trucks, and everything else you need for a great time at the breweries in Palm Beach County.
