Dog Rose Brewing Co.

Freestanding modern commercial building a bit south of downtown, free parking is a challenge. L-shaped bar opposite the entrance on the left seats about 10 with tables about the room and on the patio along the east side of the building. 9 beers on tap. Friendly bartenders.

 

 

Chill hippie vibe, lots of classic rock on shuffle along with the concert poster hanging on the walls. Beer selection is above average but pretty classic; consisting of a lager, amber, IPA, a few stouts and a special black IPA as well a German bock beer. Live music, food truck, cork dart boards, shuffle board and a T.V. allows all guests to find something to keep busy with while drinking. If you don't like beer there are substitutes such as wine and cider offered. Build a flight and have a snack. Decent offering for a coastal Florida tourist town.

 

Saw the place while on a tour trolley and hiked back to check it out. Very nice place located not too far (certainly within walking distance) of the historic section of St. Augustine. Very modern look. Brewery is located in rear and open to view. The bartender was very friendly and answered all my questions about the place. Decent enough selection of beers at really decent prices. I can't really attest to the "vibe" since we stopped in fairly early and the place wasn't particularly crowded. The place is very spacious with high ceilings so it could take quite a crowd without feeling crowded. Only stayed for one beer since we were on foot and it was a rather brutal Florida summer day but I can easily see myself heading back on future visits to St. Augustine. I would certainly recommend visiting to anyone visiting St. Augustine.
