Much like finding decent parking on the beach or your dream of owning a home any time soon, gone are the days of breweries and beer bars serving up a bowl of stale pretzels. In fact, for the past few years, these places have consistently been home to some of the best food in Miami, either through their own kitchens, rotating pop-ups, or food trucks with cult followings. This guide has our favorite breweries, microbreweries, and beer bars with the best food options—because you’re gonna need something to wash down that IPA you try so hard to like.
Nearly all breweries are industrial chic with wide open floor plans, but only one has a giant mural of a stoned chihuahua. Fittingly, it’s named Tripping Animals. The Doral warehouse fills up on weekdays around 4pm—the start of Happy Hour—and is an exciting place to be especially on ”creative Mondays”, when they give everyone paint and canvases and let you relive your elementary school days (except with beer). Obviously you’re here for the enormous selection of beers, but you should also come for the food. Trippy Kitchen, as they call it, has a menu that feels like it was designed by a pregnant woman with spontaneous cravings. There’s ribeye with curly fries, ceviche, a Venezuelan hot dog, and a charcuterie board. It’s exactly where you want to be after a tough (or relatively easy) day at work.
