MIA Beer Co.

Solid brewhouse for MIA, they have a very colorful location in a very nice part of town. The beer selection was varied, service was functional, and we definitely enjoyed the beers we had.

MIA Beer Company is just a fantastic place to find good beer, great selection, cool owner, rock vibe. When in Miami, don’t miss this gem!

Wait staff was super helpful.

 

MIA has all the flair and attitude of the modern-ish Miami scene. That may be a plus or minus depending on your personal tastes. An outdoor seating area and spacious bar room should be enjoyable by all.

Very large selection, including far more guest taps than in-house taps. Quality varies, with no special rarities. MIA's in-house beers are pretty decent and largely enjoyable.

The menu is really impressive, with a decent amount of options and very specific local culinary flair. They've got some basic burgers and traditional Cuban food, and then they've got some creative outlets that are utterly unique. The burger I enjoyed was massive and absolutely delicious.

 

The amount of beers they have on tap is something truly remarkable. Usually around 20+ of their beers. They do a good job mixing up their offerings and have something for all aspects of the beer palate. They even have Kombucha for the non alcoholically inclined. Despite that, what should be their heavy hitters and are the flag ships of most other world class breweries (stouts and barrel aged stouts) are rather blasé here. It is also a bit loud and the bar doesn't have that many seats.

 

Vibe was pretty decent. All tables were full and the bar was half full (it was trivia night). Decor was cool: bright colors, art-deco kinda feel to the decor, and buzzing energy. Beer was actually quite good. I got several 5oz pours, and one 12oz. The bar itself was kind of a disappointment. The menu said nothing of intended style, abv, or cost; just a paragraph description in a small, off putting font. The price, abv and style were on the chalk board behind the bar, which could only be viewed when standing/sitting at half of the bar. If you were sitting at a table, or the far end of the bar, you could not read the chalk board. Bartenders was abrupt, and did not like that I asked questions about styles, or abv. Quick to pour a drink and cash me out though. I will say that MIA had a whole wall of taps, 30 of which were made on site, and they also offered a bottle list that was pretty good (around 100). They offer food, but because of how unhelpful the bartenders were, I did not order any. What I saw other people order did look good though. Oh, and most everything was pricey. $3-$4 for 5oz pours, $5-$8 for 12oz-16oz, none of which is bad; but the food was what really took me aback. The cheapest items were over $10.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very nice place. The food is nothing to brag about... but then again, not why i go. The Bottle selection is pretty great. I have had some awesome brews i would usually not be able to find so readily. As the previous reviewer mentioned, a little on the pricey side. Servers are really friendly and attentive; only recommendation is that they beef up their menu knowledge a bit. I've had a couple waitresses look at me slightly confused when i asked or ordered something.

 

 

 

New brewery in the South Florida area. I am so happy they're here. Miami needs more of these places. Since they are brand new, I give them latitude for some mishits if any. The vibe is a modern style bar in an industrial area that can use this type place for the cubicle lovers and the warehouse grunts. The beer selection is growing, but if you have had an MIA beer then you know its good. They do have small plate snacks to choose from, but a little over priced in my opinion. Otherwise, drop by grab brewskie, sit back and enjoy the good rock tunes playing.
