Palm Coast may not be the first place you think of for a craft beer adventure, but the city and its neighbors are brimming with hidden gems pouring everything from bold IPAs to tart sours. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast chasing rare flavors or just seeking a laid-back spot to unwind with friends, there’s a spot in town for you.
Let’s get to it.
The Brass Tap
At The Brass Tap Palm Coast, you’ll step into a craft beer hub that feels like a friendly clubhouse. Shelves and taps highlight over 150 rotating beers from around the world and local breweries. The menu is built for sharing, and the staff are true beer experts ready to guide you toward a passion fruit gose or any style you want to try.
The atmosphere balances an upscale look with a down-to-earth attitude. You can order a steak sandwich in flip-flops, bring your dog to the heated patio, and feel at ease whether you arrive in shorts or a polo. Regular events include trivia nights, live bands, tap takeovers, and exclusive tasting sessions.
Food choices range from pizza fritta and potstickers to a bourbon maple brown butter cake that everyone raves about. TVs line the walls for sports fans and the open layout handles both large parties and quiet weeknight gatherings with equal ease. No matter the size of your group, the friendly buzz makes every visit feel like a celebration.
Old Coast Ales
In Palm Coast, Old Coast Ales radiates a laid-back neighborhood energy that feels genuine. Every beer is brewed on-site in a seven-barrel system. The core lineup includes Empirical IPA, Signal Pale Ale, BLVD Brown, and Port of Call porter. Seasonal experiments might feature a smoked strong ale one month or a coffee-infused brown the next. Classic styles like a malty stout or ESB are dialed in perfectly. There are no velvet ropes or moody uplighting in sight.
The taproom offers indoor tables and two sunny patios where dogs roam free and families stretch out in the Florida breeze. Children choose house-made kombucha and craft sodas that taste real. Cyclists roll in for pint discounts and friends often challenge each other at ping pong or Jenga. Live music adds a vibrant soundtrack several nights a week.
Osprey Tacos sits next door and remains a favorite partner. Guests can bring tacos into the brewery or arrange delivery right to their table. That combination of handcrafted beers, simple seating, and fresh tacos turns every visit into an easygoing local hangout.
Hornski’s Brewing Co.
Tucked away in St. Augustine, Hornski’s Brewing Co. offers a tap list that feels like a choose-your-own adventure. You’ll find West Coast classics such as Hurricane Prep IPA alongside lush hazy IPAs and a coffee blonde that delivers a gentle caffeine kick. Seasonal sours appear on rotation and beachy options like Not Into Yoga, a pineapple-coconut beer, keep things light. The rye pale ale called Paradise & Lunch pairs perfectly with midday fare.
Inside, vinyl records spin while kids and parents share space on arcade cabinets until 9 PM. Local food trucks rotate through the lot, serving everything from tacos to crepes. Service animals are welcome, though pets rest outside on the breezy patio where garage doors open for Florida air. Competitive spirits come out over cornhole and tabletop games, all in a warm, vintage-inspired setting.
Crowlers and to-go growlers make it simple to share your favorites at home. Between the eclectic interior, rotating food options, and varied beer lineup, Hornski’s Brewing Co. creates a relaxed, family-friendly environment that encourages multiple visits and plenty of conversation.
Bog Brewing Company
Inside an old pharmacy building, Bog Brewing Company delivers a welcoming atmosphere with exposed brick walls and large windows that fill the taproom with Florida sunlight. The mix of vintage fixtures and modern brewing equipment creates a casual vibe. Out back, the patio hosts shuffleboard, dog-friendly seating, and shaded spots for afternoon relaxation. Board and card games are on hand for those who enjoy something to do between sips.
Head Brewer Steve Mendoza mixes travel influences into every batch. Expect a rotating selection that ranges from Belgian-style ales and German lagers to farmhouse sours and unique seasonal releases. The Smoked Datil Ale brings local hot peppers for a hint of spice. The Black Oat Lager balances vanilla, cacao, and lactose in a smooth, dessert-inspired pour. Tasting flights make it easy to sample several styles at once.
Crowlers and cans let you take favorites home. The Taco My Blessing food truck serves tacos Tuesday through Saturday. Whether you arrive with friends, a pup on a leash, or a curious palate, the straightforward setting and creative beers keep everything relaxed and enjoyable.
Dog Rose Brewing Co.
In Lincolnville, Dog Rose Brewing Co. has transformed an art gallery into a spacious taproom filled with colorful murals and local artwork. The on-site brewery churns out classic styles like Roadside IPA, Maibock, fruited sours, and hefeweizen. Seasonal releases such as Spruce Tip Pale Ale and Lion’s Head Honey Sour keep the lineup fresh and varied. No tap is the same twice in a week.
Live music fills the air throughout the week while shuffleboard tables invite friendly competition in the back. Indoors, you’ll also find dart boards and ample seating in the open floor plan that makes it easy to bring a group of friends. Light snacks are available at the bar, and rotating food trucks pull in regularly. Dogs roam the patio freely and service animals receive a warm welcome indoors.
Tasting flights and growlers give you the freedom to try several beers and take your favorites home. The blend of art-driven decor, rotating entertainment, and a broad beer selection makes Dog Rose Brewing Co. an ideal spot for friends, families, and beer enthusiasts alike.
Coquina Coast Brewing Co.
Nestled in Flagler Beach, Coquina Coast Brewing Co. delivers fresh beer and laid-back Florida charm. This nano-brewery uses three 90-gallon kettles to maintain a rotating selection of about six brews at a time. Expect offerings like the crisp Palmetto Blonde ale, a summery Berliner Weisse Watermelon Sour, and a hearty Pumpernickel Porter. Local ingredients appear in nearly every batch, with wild muscadine grapes, pumpkins, prickly pears, and other Florida staples lending distinctive flavors.
The reclaimed-wood bar top came from a tree felled by Hurricane Irma, adding rustic character to the tasting room. Outside, a dog-friendly patio fitted with couches encourages lingering afternoons. A steady lineup of events—bingo nights, Sunday art markets, and occasional live music—keeps things lively. Food trucks such as the Wandering Hoagie pull up regularly, and there’s a self-serve canning machine to fill crowlers or four-packs on demand. Knowledgeable staff members consistently earn high marks for guiding guests through the beer list. For a small beach town taproom, Coquina Coast combines quality brewing and genuine hospitality.
