Whether you’re a casual sipper or a craft beer devotee, Delray Beach and its vibrant neighbors are overflowing with breweries that pour creativity into every pint. From coastal-inspired taprooms to Belgian-style barrel aging, there’s something on tap for every taste.
Let’s get to it.
SaltWater Brewery
Since opening in 2013 in Delray Beach, SaltWater Brewery has woven coastal style into every detail of its taproom. You’ll find plenty of seating inside and out, plus cornhole, shuffleboard and board games. The dog-friendly patio welcomes pups any day and even hosts adoption events where you might leave with more than just a four-pack.
The beer lineup stays on an ocean wavelength throughout the year. Screamin’ Reels IPA brings tropical hop notes and often sells out fast. Sea Cow Milk Stout offers a smooth, roasty flavor and supports manatee conservation. Seasonal releases move from spiced pumpkin ales in autumn to bright sours in summer heat. SaltWater also pursues sustainable practices—edible six-pack rings, brewery tours highlighting green operations, regular beach cleanups and collaborations with marine charities. Whether you’re stopping by for trivia night, brunch during football season or a casual pint with your dog, this brewery keeps the beach vibe flowing from first pour to last call.
Prosperity Brewers
Tucked away in Boca Raton, Prosperity Brewers runs a 3.5-barrel nano-brewery that keeps every beer fresh and exclusive. The rotating menu leans on Florida’s tropical side with offerings such as Jack Talk Thai Guava Sour and the Intra-KOLSCH-tal Kölsch. Winter brings a Mexican Hot Chocolate Imperial Stout that doubles as dessert in a glass. Frequent experimental batches, hazy IPAs and barrel-aged stouts ensure there’s always something new on tap.
The industrial-style space balances open warehouse vibes with warm touches and ample seating indoors and under cover. Picnic tables line the patio, and dogs and kids are welcome. Weekends feature live music, while Tuesdays bring trivia. A rotating selection of food trucks parks outside most evenings. Games like Jenga, darts and board options fill idle moments, and free Wi-Fi makes it easy to stay a while. With its ever-changing brews and relaxed atmosphere, Prosperity Brewers draws both craft-beer enthusiasts and casual visitors back again and again.
NOBO Brewing Company
Nestled in Boynton Beach, NOBO Brewing Company feels like a backyard gathering equipped with 32 house-brewed beers. The indoor-outdoor taproom invites dogs and kids, offering a comfortable spot to sample everything from basil-infused IPAs to fruited sours that balance tartness and flavor.
Standout year-round pours include the Coffee Pot Porter, brewed with NOBO’s own roast and real vanilla beans, and the Old School Hefeweizen, crafted under Germany’s purity law. Seasonal releases range from a crisp watermelon blonde to a rich pumpkin stout with banana-bread undertones. Game nights, trivia and a rotating lineup of food trucks keep regulars coming back. Local vendors often set up shop on site, reinforcing the brewery’s family-owned, community-driven approach. NOBO’s ever-changing draft list and laid-back atmosphere make it a dependable destination for a casual pint or an afternoon spent catching up with friends.
Copperpoint Brewing Company
Housed in Boynton Beach, Copperpoint Brewing Company pours more than 400 creative beers, from German-style lagers and punchy IPAs to fruity and slushie-style sours. You’ll find over a dozen taps pouring at any time, so sampling a Kolsch brewed with key lime or a Lemon Meringue sour is always an option.
The spacious taproom includes a dedicated off-leash play area for dogs and regular Yappy Hours. Indoor seating blends into an open outdoor patio where picnic tables and high-tops invite conversation. Fridays and Saturdays host everything from game nights and live music to the annual BBQ Beer Bash. Collaborations with local producers bring ingredients like orange blossom honey into the mix, adding genuine Florida character. Copperpoint’s community-driven events and steady stream of experimental brews make it a local landmark for craft-beer lovers and their four-legged friends.
Barrel of Monks Brewing
With a focus on Belgian-inspired ales, Barrel of Monks Brewing in Boca Raton delivers a palm-tree twist on classic styles. The core lineup includes Single in the Sun blonde ale, Abbey Terno dubbel, Three Fates tripel and Quadraphonic quadrupel. Barrel-aging adds depth to standout releases like Owen, a tequila-barrel tripel, and Sacred Bond, a rum-barrel dubbel created for the brewery’s 10th anniversary.
The taproom welcomes families and dogs alike, offering indoor and outdoor seating plus free parking. Weekly specials keep things lively, from buy-one-get-one beers on Tuesdays to themed food nights and the Cheffrey Eats food truck out front. Live music, trivia and outdoor games round out every weekend. For regulars, the Brotherhood and Reserve Society memberships unlock perks like priority releases and exclusive events. In a crowded craft scene, Barrel of Monks strikes the right balance of Belgian tradition, barrel experimentation and community spirit.
Cove Brewery
Stepping into Cove Brewery you immediately notice its relaxed beach style just steps from Deerfield Beach. Surfboards line the walls and there’s a spacious covered patio where cornhole games often draw friendly competition. Dog owners are welcome here too—there’s always a bowl of water ready for four-legged guests.
When it comes to beer, Cove keeps things fresh. You might choose a crisp Paddle Out Pils or opt for the bolder Heatwave Ale. In summer, their IPAs lean tropical, like the Tide ’N Seek IPA or small-batch mango sour. Come winter, they release darker offerings such as a coconut barrel-aged porter or a rich stout, perfect for Florida’s cooler evenings.
Food is easy, thanks to contactless ordering from the nearby Won-Tom dim sum spot. Bao and beer pairings are popular. There’s live music most nights, tabletop games to play, and regular charity events. Before you leave, check out the merch shelves—vibrant cans, tees, and hats are hard to resist.
