Brewery Profile

Florida Keys Brewing Co.

In Islamorada’s Morada Way Arts and Cultural District, Florida Keys Brewing Co. gives visitors a local taproom view of the Upper Keys beer scene. It is described as the first microbrewery in the Upper Keys, and its beer is made in-house at the Islamorada facility. A visitor walking in can expect a working-brewery setting built around a 20-barrel brewhouse, with a smaller 1.5-barrel pilot system supporting more limited batches. Fermentation capacity ranges from 3 to 40 barrels, which helps explain the mix of regular pours and smaller releases. The taproom is set up for tasting flights and full pints, with cans and growler fills available for beer to go.

Travelers through the Keys often look for relaxed stops that fit around fishing, diving, boating, art walks, and road-trip days between islands. This brewery fits that rhythm by offering a broad in-house beer list rather than a single narrow focus. The known lineup includes year-round staples, seasonal brews, and barrel-aged limited releases, so the experience can vary depending on when someone visits. For a first-time visitor, a flight is the most practical way to sample across the board without committing to one pour. For returning visitors, the pilot system and limited releases are reasons to check what is currently on tap rather than assuming the menu stays the same.

The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, packaging options, and any current limited releases. Beyond the bar, the brewery has a beer garden with games such as giant Jenga and cornhole, and it hosts live music events. The setting is both pet- and kid-friendly, which makes it workable for mixed groups traveling together in the Keys. Merchandise is available on site, and keg options are offered for retail or private events. Canned beer distribution has been planned for expansion, but visitors should treat the taproom as the most reliable source for current availability.
