Best Breweries In Boca Raton

Craft brewing has really taken off over the past couple of decades, and Boca Raton is no exception. With new breweries rising up regularly, Boca Raton has become a hot spot for beer for a variety of reasons. The year-round seasonable climate, the extensive nightlife activities, and the desire to create the best beer in the South Florida region.

If you have chosen Waterford Bay apartments as your home in Boca Raton, you have the advantage of being close to some of the best breweries in the city. The following three breweries are considered the best in the Boca Raton area for their taste, body, and price.

Barrel of Monkeys Brewing

It’s not just the name that makes this brewery unique. It is the combination of atmosphere, food selection, and great beer that makes Barrel of Monkeys Brewing one of the most popular breweries in all of Boca Raton. Located in the warehouse district, Barry of Monkeys offers a great night out with friends and family while sampling a selection of beer that they brew along with many choices from outside the US.

The selection of dining choices comes from the food trucks which line up outside for your business. This means you can find the right food to pair with your choice of beer. There are games, music, and even live bands that play from time to time.

Crazy Uncle Mike’s

The name itself may not sound all that inviting, but the truth is that Crazy Uncle Mike’s is one of the best breweries and nightspots in Boca Raton. The atmosphere is unmatched in terms of friendliness and style, but it is the frequent live music combined with an excellent selection of craft beer that is made at the brewery which separates Crazy Uncle Mike’s from the rest.
Although quite popular and frequently crowded, the business itself is still locally run with the owner, Mike, often tending bar and talking to customers. The great décor and food options to complement the beer selection makes this a must-visit place for those who love breweries and the bars which are part of the experience.

Prosperity Brewing

Located in the warehouse district, Prosperity Brewing has gained a considerable reputation over the past few years for the beer, food, and large, ample space that allows for many people without feeling crowded. The warehouse atmosphere adds to the experience, but it is the beer that is produced, which makes Prosperity Brewing special. It also helps that the food is delicious, providing a welcome treat after a long day.

There are numerous games to play, couches and chairs to sit on, and a friendly atmosphere that is perfect for visiting with family and friends. There are many TVs as well to catch the latest events, and the place is both child and pet-friendly.
