Tomoka Brewing Co.

 

What I had: Flight of Tomoka Brewery Indian Summer IPA and Peace Pipe Smoked Porter, Swamp Head Wild Night, and Engine 15 Rye Of The Tiger, pint of Brooksville Hot Head Red, blended white wine for the wife, Goat Cheese Salad and Soul of the South Pizza to split.
What I liked: Good house beers, tasteful decor, superb food, capable and welcoming service, reasonable prices, plenty of free parking out back.
What I disliked: Tiny tap list, beers are solid but fall short of excellence, guest draughts could be a little bit more interesting, hours are limited.
Would I go back? Yes. Despite its shortcomings Tomoka is still a very worthy brewpub that I will happily frequent again.
Overall Rating: 76

Larger and nicer than the Ormond Beach location, with a larger selection of beers on tap -- about 18 plus a guest cider at a 2017 visit; similar in March 2019 but with 3 taps empty. Extensive, but pub type menu with some specials (e.g., M-F lunch) and a Sunday Brunch. Excellent onion rings.

 

 

Owership has done a really nice job with this brewery/restaurant. For me it has an intimate feel. I kinda wish the food prices weren't quite as high but I can't complain because of the quality of it. Beers are certainly OK but for a charter member I keep wishing they'd come up with a really top notch "signature" beer. A beer that is a destination drive. Still, overall, a very nice place to go. One drawback is that the place is beyond loud if you are older (I am) and want to have a conversation with friends.

Stopped by on the recommendation of my cousin, who owns a summer home nearby and frequently eats here while down in sunny Florida.
Cool brewpub atmosphere with windows to the brewery and a spacious bar and seating area. An open kitchen gives you a view of the pizza ovens and the cooks. There are quite a few TV's around and the ones by the bar have the tap list and prices for growler (32 oz. & 64 oz.) and crowler fills. There are plenty of 4 and 6 packs for take home as well.
The food was excellent, I suggest the wings with the Lunar Eclipse Stout BBQ sauce! My Pops had the Bratwurst sandwich and couldn't eat all of it, brought half of it home with him. I had the fish and chips; the fish was cut into square pieces and not as a whole fillet, which was different; however it wasn't as oily as fish and chips can get.
Our waiter seemed a little bit...flighty, but he did give us quality service and made several suggestions for beer and food selections.
The beer is really good as well. I ended up grabbing 2 4 packs to go (Twist of Cane DIPA & Tom Yum Thai Gose). I had both as part of a flight and was impressed with both; plus at $6.99 a 4 packs, I couldn't resist. I actually made an excuse to go back in before driving away that I had to "wash the BBQ sauce off my hands" so I could grab the ToC.
I highly recommend stopping in and checking this place out if you are in the Daytona Beach area; it's about 15-20 minutes from the Daytona Speedway, traffic permitting.

 

 

This is a great brewpub. All their beer is produced in house on their own brewing system that you can see through glass walls while eating. They beer is good, but nothing special. They have around 20 taps and brew most popular styles. Their food is phenomenal. I have tried their pizzas, burgers, and fish and chips and all were excellent. If you are near Port Orange it is defiantly worth a stop.

Great place to spend a few hours. Good beer selection on tap. Food we had was excellent. Great staff and service. Check it out if you are in the area.
