Born from the beautiful waters and vibrant coral reefs of Florida, Reefer Brewing celebrates the true spirit of coastal living. Our name pays homage to the “reefer” – the nautical term for the reef-dwelling fish that dance through Florida’s underwater gardens, and the sailors who navigate these pristine waters in pursuit of adventure.
Founded by a crew of ocean lovers and craft beer enthusiasts, we understand that the best days are spent lounging on deck chairs, feeling the warm Florida sun, diving into clear waters, and sharing cold brews with friends as the day melts into a golden sunset. Our brewery captures that blissful feeling – the gentle rocking of the boat, the perfect tan lines, and the laughter that echoes across the water.
Every beer we craft tells a story of Florida’s reef lifestyle. From our flagship Grouper Gold Ale, smooth and refreshing like a perfect beach day, to our Coral Garden IPA, bursting with tropical flavors that mirror the vibrant colors of our underwater paradise, each brew is a tribute to the coastal world that defines our laid-back identity.
We source ingredients that reflect our maritime heritage – sea salt from local waters, citrus from Florida groves, and hops that deliver the same refreshing satisfaction as jumping into cool reef waters on a hot afternoon. Our taproom, designed with reclaimed driftwood, coral-inspired décor, and plenty of natural light, feels like a beachside retreat where every day feels like vacation.
Whether you’re perfecting your tan on the bow, exploring hidden coves, snorkeling through coral gardens, or simply enjoying the rhythm of waves against the hull, we celebrate every way people connect with Florida’s reef life. Our welcoming atmosphere draws everyone from seasoned boaters to those who just discovered their love for sun and salt water.
At Reefer Brewing, we’re not just making beer – we’re bottling the Florida dream. Our team supports coral reef conservation efforts, ensuring that future generations can experience the same underwater beauty and endless summer days that inspire our brews.
So whether you’re planning your next boat day, reminiscing about perfect weather, or simply appreciating the relaxed rhythm of reef life, pull up a stool and taste the Florida coast in every sip. Because here at Reefer Brewing, every day is a good day to soak up the sun… even if you’re just dreaming about it.
Good vibes, great times.
