Magic 13 Brewing Co.: A Backyard Oasis in Little River

And they’re all enjoyable indoors, accompanied by live music, karaoke or stand-up comedy. But Magic 13's real “magic” is on its outdoor patio, where you can relax under a shady tree and enjoy one of Miami’s perfect sunny afternoons or balmy evenings.

Inside area of Tripping Animals Brewing Co. — Listen to music and try a creative brew at Tripping Animals

Tripping Animals Brewing Co.: A Creative Doral Brewery

Once upon a time, four friends started brewing beer in their garage in Venezuela. After visiting breweries all over the world, they opened their own craft brewery in the Miami area. The Doral-based Tripping Animals Brewing Co. is a popular place to hang out, listen to music, get artsy, play pool or ping-pong and – of course – drink beer. At this creative brewery, expect unique sours using local fruit. Some even taste like smoothies.

Spanish Marie Brewing: Unique Beers in a Kendall Speakeasy

When your brewery is named after a notorious 1920s rum runner, a little bit of secrecy is naturally part of your brand. Such is the case with Spanish Marie Brewing in Kendall. It’s the creation of two longtime friends and Miami natives who’ve given their suburban brewery a distinctly prohibition-era feel. The 10-seat tasting room is hidden behind a secret door, and head brewer Jaime Medina comes up with some of the most unique creations in Miami. The lineup of fruited sours is perfect for adventurous drinkers. You can enjoy a short menu of beer slushies as well as tacos, pizzas and quesadillas.

Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Co.: A Tribute to Honest Abe In The Bird Road Art District

Unseen Creatures: Farmhouse-Style Beers In The Bird Road Art District

Unseen Creatures doesn’t refer to some imaginary monsters that inspired co-founders Marco and Vicky Leyte-Vidal’s brewing imaginations. It’s a reference to the yeasts and bacteria that give their beers an unmistakably funky flavor. If you’re a fan of European farmhouse-style beers, make your way to this spot in the Bird Road Art District, where you’ll taste the fullness of the fermentation process in the Strawberry Calamity fruited sour or the Artefact Saison farmhouse ale.

Try the Old Man, a Belgian-style wheat ale that’s as smooth as a sunny day in Sydney. Or opt for the Woop Woop, made with real Aussie hops.
