The Best Brewery Tours in Miami & South Florida

Note: Our brewery tours are available only on weekends — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Why Brewery Tours Are the Best Way to Explore Miami’s Craft Beer Scene

Craft beer is about more than just the final pour—it’s about the people, passion, and process behind every batch. On a brewery tour, you’ll:

• Meet the Brewers: Discover the stories of local artisans who source South Florida ingredients and experiment with flavors.
• Learn the Process: From mashing to fermentation, get a front-row seat to the science and art of brewing.
• Taste Rare & Limited Releases: Many breweries offer exclusive pours only available on-site.
• Connect with Community: Tours often end in a group tasting, fostering new friendships over fresh pints.

For the full experience, reserve a tour at Miami Brewing Co. and get behind-the-scenes access to our brewhouse. https://schneblywinery.com/bookings/product/tours-booking/ 

The Growth of Florida’s Craft Beer Industry

Over the past decade, Florida has seen an explosion of microbreweries, brewpubs, and craft-focused taprooms. According to the Florida Brewers Guild, the number of licensed breweries in the Sunshine State has more than doubled since 2015. This boom reflects:

• A rising demand for locally made, quality-driven products.
• Innovative flavor profiles that draw inspiration from Florida’s tropical fruits and coastal vibes.
• A supportive network of distributors, associations, and beer festivals that champion small-batch brewers.

What to Expect on a Brewery Tour

While each brewery has its own style, most tours follow a similar flow:

1. Welcome & History: Meet your guide, learn how the brewery got its start, and hear about its Miami inspiration.
2. Brewery Walk-Through: Navigate the production floor—see mash tuns, fermenters, and conditioning tanks.
3. Sensory Session: Smell hops, sample base malts, and understand how each ingredient contributes to flavor.
4. Guided Tasting: Savor four to six drafts, often paired with commentary on tasting notes and recommended food pairings.
5. Merch & Mingle: Browse exclusive swag and chat with fellow beer lovers in the taproom lounge.

Pro Tip: Wear closed-toe shoes and arrive 10 minutes early to secure your spot in the taproom.
