We're beer enthusiasts, and typically plan our trips so that we can visit the local breweries. We planned a trip to the Kennedy Space Center, and this was in the neighborhood, so off we went. The brewery IS a cute little place. The decor is nice, and there's even a small beer garden out back, but what's truly important is the beer. When we arrived we were greeted by the beer tender who told us that he had only four beers on tap, and of those four, THREE were guest taps of commercially-available beer, and the other was a barley wine (which is actually not a wine, but a beer often as strong as many wines) and is not as "mainstream" as many stouts, porters, ales, lagers and IPA's. We'd traveled out of our way to visit this brewery and were understandably disappointed by their lack of house-brewed beer. The bartender mentioned that the brewer had a health-related concern and hadn't brewed for a while. I wish the brewer well, and hope he/she recovers quickly, but if you're a beer enthusiast and are considering a visit, call beforehand and ask what's on the tap list! read more

Very small brewery. It is literally a house and when you walk in, you are walking into someone's front room. When we were there they only had three beers on tap. We tried two out of the three beers they had and they good. The decor is the place is a little off and perhaps needs some work. There isn't much seating and if you take your drink outside it needs to be transferred to a plastic cup. read more

If you drive too fast on A1A in Cocoa Beach you will miss this gem!! This hometown brewery is just that.. hometown at its finest!! We almost didn't go in because it is in an old house and it literally looked like we were walking into someone's living room until we were so warmly greeted by Katie and Robert!!! This a family run brewery and on this night there were two beers on tap an IPA and a stout. Both were awesome but I prefer the lighter IPA, after sitting at the bar for a few we got into extremely interesting and amusing conversations with Katie and Robert about everything from Disney to Game of Thrones! It was as if he was as if we had been long time friends! They had a nice large table with board and card games a couch and living room atmosphere in another room with a TV with the owners you tube channel playing with drone views of Cocoa Beach!! This place was truly awesome and we can't wait to come back !! read more

Quaint little brewery, very personal and friendly! Mice outdoor deck with seating and beautiful jasmine blooming. Doesn't get much better - oh wait, what about the beer you ask? We loved it! The day we visited there were two beers on tap: triple 8 IPA and a gallinipper. While I'm normally not a huge IPA fan, I completely enjoyed my beer! read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

My husband and I went with friends to Cocoa Beach and hit up this brewery. It's cute, cozy and unique, but it was a little too small. It's a small house converted into brewery. We went in on a Saturday afternoon, so that could be why. But there were only 4 seats up at the bar, a table for 6 and a couch in the front room. Of this seating, there were only 2 bar stools open so the 4 of us took our beers outside. They had 4 beers on tap. We each tried different ones. I liked all 4 of them. This is definitely a unique place to check out and try a beer while supporting your local brewer. I just don't know that I would frequent this place if it was local. They need more space. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company is a fairly recent addition to Cocoa Beach - they've been open since mid 2009. They are a true micro brewery. Current brewing system is just 1.5bbl, and that is up from the 1/2bbl they were using previously. When we visited they only had their Pale Ale on tap, the first brew from the new system. Note - this is a brewpub only, they are currently not serving food, though do have assorted snack food and do allow you to order/bring food in from elsewhere. Located just north of 1st street, CBBC is in a building which was originally navy housing. They have a lounge with a big screen and a couple comfy chairs, as well as a 4 tap bar and a small bar type seating area. There were two guest taps on currently, as well as the one house brew. We were served by the owner/brewer/bartender Chris, who was happy to discuss his beers and his plans for the brewery. The beer was wonderfully fresh. It was unfiltered so showed some yeast and chill haze, but it hit the spot. The house pale ale had a fairly traditional pale ale malt profile, but had a bit more hops than strict adherence to the BJCP styles might indicate. But, I believe guidelines should be just that, guidelines, not hard and fast rules. I'm happy to report that Chris seem to agree! Overall I found the beer balanced and tasty. Good stuff here, and I can't wait to see how things grow over time. I will be back when I return to the area! Finding the pub is a bit tough, it isn't quite visible behind the restaurant (Chili Pepper Club) just to the south of them, as you drive north on A1A. Much easier, I found, was to park in the lot behind the brewery, which is accessible via the alley off of 1st street. read more

I might hurt somebody with this review but I didnt see the 4 1/2 stars on this brewery anywhere. Small little shack in the middle of Cocoa Beach. If it was't for Yelp, I would never find it, from the outside looks more like a bakery that anything else. While visiting Melbourne, Florida I went out on the look out of new breweries since Im a beer drinker, so I been eyeballing this place for quite a while now. My first impression was ok this looks like somebody went and grab a beer brew kit from the store, and brew some beers and call it a nano brew. I sat at the bar and asked for a flight I was also with some relatives, so the bartender mentioned that he only had glasses for one flight. I look at him and look around the place was completely empty so they literally had only glasses for one flight!!! Are you serious? The bartender said we can get half of pints if we want to since my dad and uncle are not really craft beer drinkers so they went for half's. I ordered the only flight that they had and got all their five beers, IPA, Pale Ale, Farmhouse Ale, Oatmeal Stout and their Key Lime apparently a fruit beer. I started with the Key Lime which I believe its their signature it was good very refreshing beers citrusy with pine aromas, right there I got all excited first sample, beer wasn't so bad and I was ready for the rest. Then I tried their FHP the bartender mentioned this beer it's brew with Belgium hops to give it a funk flavor, well they were 100% right it was really funky but not in a good way. Then, I had their oatmeal stout, big big disappointment... it was very light almost watery and flat, for a second I though I was drinking a nitro beer, it was really bad. Then I had their pale ale, nothing crazy and last but not least their IPA regular hops fresh with a hint of fruit it was ok thats about it. The guys been in business five years they must be doing something good I just didn't see it last night. Wish them the best, but I don't think I would go back. If you are staying in the area and don't want to drive the extra mile to their competitors go for it, but you might be driving south to the next brewery later. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company - Key Lime, not just me (oatmeal stout), Pale Ale, FHP, IPA - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Great little place to stop in and have a locally made beer. The place is classic beach-side - relaxed and laid back. I had their oatmeal stout which had a dark almost black color and a rich coffee flavor. I was their during a Friday night with a band playing on their backyard deck. A little tight for the people who showed up but it was still good all around. I will definitely try to go back. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing is in a super cute old little house just a block away from the beach. They only have like four chairs at the bar but they also have a table, a few other seats (a couch, I think?) and an outdoor patio. The guy helping us was very nice and fun to talk to. They had four or five beers on tap, which they said is a lot for them. My husband tried them all and liked them. I took a sip of the Pale Ale, the Honey Golden Belgian, and the Saison and also thought they were nice. I had a glass of the Key Lime Cerveza and liked it a lot. It was very light and refreshing and had a nice subtle but nice taste of key lime. read more

Like the reviewer from a month ago, the bar tender cited health issues and could only offer a meager selection of corporate beers. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company - The overgrown and rundown outdoor deck has a savings grace. It allows dogs! - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Not worth stopping. We were looking for breweries but this place is small and messy. We parked on the street a block away and walked up. Seating is small and the vibe is kinda thrift store chic. They had boxes and brewing supplies stacked everywhere, kinda uncool. Only 2 beers on tap, no guest taps either. Wonderful bartender, but man... for being open for something like 9 years and only having 2 beers on tap is a bit sad. read more

Only 2 beers on tap, a October fest and a stout. Beer was decent wish they had more. Nice back porch. The brewery is hard to find. It's off the highway in what looks like someone's home. They managed to make it nice. Gave them 3 stars wish they had more beer. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Very cute, very small brewery located on the main strip in Cocoa Beach. I am not sure what size they are classified by, maybe Nano brewery? I think they brew out of the garage. they have a few different beers available at a given time. You walk into a living room type environment with a small 4-5 person bar to the side. the bartender is very nice and the beer is quite good. My favorite is the oatmeal stout. This is a great place to have a few and just chillax. read more

If I were still a Cocoa Beach local, I would be a routine patron at this fine establishment. I walked in this brewpub on a chilly Monday afternoon. A friendly bartender greeted me and described all beer on tap. We tried them all! A couple beers stood out worth mentioning. The Key Lime Cerveza was refreshing. What really got me excited though was the Honey Golden Belgian Ale. Delicious! I could drink that one all day. During the course of the afternoon, the bartender and my family watched Aliens 2 on the TV and had great conversation in between scenes. The place is small and has a real personable feel. In a few hours, you'll probably know everyone on a first name basis. I noticed outside they have a back porch with more seating. In the warmer months, that patio would be perfect for hanging out with friends while drinking great craft beer. read more

This place is tiny. They only had two of their beers on tap plus a guest tap. But if you're a beer lover, you're going to stop here, and you likely won't be disappointed. We had a great time hanging out with the staff and other patrons at the bar - lucky us, because the place is so small you couldn't really avoid anyone else in the room. But the beer we did have was wonderful and I next time I find myself near Coca Beach, I'll definitely be stopping by for more. read more

Delicious beer. Vaun Braun Ale is yummmmy.

I stopped in with a friend last Sunday afternoon. Very quaint and welcoming place, small but clean and FL style. The bartender (I can't remember his name ) was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. My friend and I both ordered their Key Lime Cerveza. I'll be honest, I did not get a single hint of Key Lime flavor in it. It mostly resembled a Corona to me. Very refreshing, though. The highlight was definitely the conversation with the bar tender. This place is definitely worth a stop in! They also sell pints and growlers to go (FL issued size of course). read more

The best kept brew pub secret in Cocoa Beach. OK, the only brew pub and a damned nice one. And all the local takeout and delivery menus are on the board. Run by 2 really fun people so it creates a wonderful atmosphere. Cheers to Chris and Tracy. read more

Three beers on tap; blonde, apricot, and key lime. "Dirty" blonde ale was unremarkable. Apricot wasn't bad, but it tasted like apricot flavoring added to a beer (a la redd's apple ale). Place is clearly a house that was renovated to be a brewery, which is kind of cool. Couches are comfy, proximity to the beach is good. The so called "Beer garden" is just a patio, which disappointed me as much as the beer selection. I thought it might have hops and assorted flowers growing on it or something but no. The 888 IPA looked good but wasn't on tap sadly. I hyped myself up so hard for this place only to be disappointed like everyone who voted for Obama's second term. Hopefully this place gets better with time. read more

This is a great place to go and try the local brews. The guy working there (I don't remember his name) was very nice and knowledgable about the brews. It's great to stop by and see what's on tap! I'll be visitng this place again next time I'm in the area. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company - Key Lime Beer! - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Excellent brews, and fantastic conversation with the patrons and the brewers. Only four taps on the day I showed up, but for such a small brewery that is to be expected. Many of the patrons seem to be regulars, though they were very welcoming to newcomers. Had an excellent time, and would often come back if I lived closer. read more

We love going to breweries. This one was meh, ok. Super small indoor seating...like 3 bar stools, one big table that was taken already, one couch, two big chairs. They have a couple outdoor picnic tables but it was raining. They're a small operation which is cool but the 3 beers they offered were just ok. They had an IPA that was fantastic but then they had an apricot that was mediocre and a key lime one that was basically tasteless. It's worth the trip just to say you've been, just be prepared for the smallness. The bartender was really nice and helpful. No food here either.... except the beer, beer is food. read more

My wife and I visited on our last trip to Cocoa and had a great time. We tried a flight of their 5 beers (they were out of a darker one, unfortunately) and enjoyed them. The only one I was slightly disappointed in was their Saison - super hoppy, which destroyed the saison qualities I love. Their key lime cerveza was probably my favorite, though the honey ale they had was a close second. It's a house that's been converted into a small bar and is very quaint. The brewery area is in the garage next door. For such a small place, they seem to do an amazing amount of brewing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was disappointed they didn't have any beer available for sale other than growlers, but I'm not faulting them for being popular. All in all, it's a great place to visit when you're in the area. They're not pretentious, they just want to make good beer for good people. What are you waiting for, go support them! read more

Stopped in and watched the end of the soccer game at this great little brewery bar. The bartender was friendly and knowledgable . Nice patio out back, comfy leather sofas plus bar stools give a nice variety of seating. They had a nice porter that I enjoyed, plus 2 other draft beers. read more

While there is more seating than others reviews lead me to believe, it was still very small. But the woman behind the counter was a gem. She walked us through their beers and was a wealth of knowledge about the local area (and local brewers scene). My brother had his toddler with him, and she gave him a basket of coasters and basically let him play and laugh to his heart's content. Very cool. Even I have problems with kids in bars (blood related or not) and she made our experience so easy. There are a bunch of board games and a TV so it gets the bar basics right. The beer is yummy and you can do growlers which is a nice touch. Well done! read more

Dragged my non-beer drinking family here so I could have a drink about an hour before they closed. We didn't have much time but I will definitely come again when we return to Cocoa Beach next yaer. The brewery is in a former house - the brewing happens in the garage, the taps are in the kitchen and you can watch TV and drink on the couch in the "living room" or work on a laptop at the kitchen table (both of which we saw on our visit). We chose to take our drinks to the backyard porch and enjoy the evening. Good beer, very unique (and charming!) setup. Support local business owners and drink an 888 IPA on their back deck instead of a Miller Lite, even if it's just once during your visit. read more

Great place to stop for beer. Makes their own beer and it is excellent. We have been to Cocoa Beach once or twice a year for the past few years and I always try to stop in at least once on each visit. The menu seems to have expanded as the last time I was there they only had 2 beers going at once. Now they have 4. Double the pleasure. We always seem to meet interesting people there and find it a very convivial place. You have to watch for it as you drive by because it may not always be easy to spot. It would be nice if it were open more, but it does have a very small staff. they have a new patio area outside, but we didn't try it. read more

We were in town for just a weekend jaunt, a quick trip before my wife's pregnancy progressed to the point where we couldn't travel anymore. So to visit the brewery as our last stop before flying home the next morning was the perfect endcap to a great weekend. All that I had read before walking in the door turned out to be true. Yes, it's essentially walking into a residential home that had been converted into a bar, with the brewing facility out in the garage, just on the other side of the breezeway. It may pale in comparison for food menus or the varietal range of beers to the corporate breweries like Rock Bottom, Beerworks in the Boston area, or BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse across the south, but that's actually what makes independent breweries like Cocoa Beach so much better. You actually get a strong chance to meet the person who made the beer you're drinking! I'd never be able to just chat with the head brewer at Beerworks outside of Fenway Park, or the brewer at Rock Bottom in downtown Chicago. But instead, we were shown the vocabulary drawings that ones of the kids of the owners did because they were precociously hilarious. That would never happen at a franchise location of a corporate microbrewery. As a fan of atmosphere and personal interaction, I fell in love with CBBC's local-flair attitude. Neither they nor other reviews in newspapers or travel sites are lying when they say that rocket scientists number among their clientele. In fact, that night, we were drinking with at least two folks who worked at nearby Kennedy Space Center. CBBC closes during rocket launches so that everyone can step outside to watch. And that's the kind of thing you wouldn't normally hear of unless you took the time to talk and listen...which is why we enjoy the places like this where it's more about human interaction than winning any Michelin stars for gourmet dishes or cuisine! Sure, the beer was good, too. But more than just the beer, I enjoyed sitting at the very small bar and listening to the conversation. It's a place where the people who know about CBBC go to relax and be comfortable. It's a place where people CAN be comfortable, and that means worlds to me. read more

This is a cool little place. Wifey and I stopped in to try out what Yelp was saying about this place. We parked on the street and found our way to this old house that was converted in to a brewery / tasting room. Like others have said, this place is tiny. The bar seats six. But that's ok, there is also a high top, some couches and a patio to relax while you enjoy your brew. The day we were there, they only had 3 beers on tap - a pale ale, a brown ale and another brown called Von Braun. Yeah, they were good. I'm a huge IPA fan so I was disappointed they didn't have any on tap that day. Like I said, it's a small place so you will end up talking to other seated by you. That's actually pretty nice. (Beer people tend to be friendly.) We met a nice couple from NY and chatted with them for a bit. The bartender was also very friendly. Will I be back? Sure, I would like to try their IPA some day, and this is a fun, relaxed place to enjoy some craft brewed beer. Good job folks. read more

I happen to be in town for a wedding and was surprised to find this hidden gem among the local beach fare. The place looks like someone's house and is rather small inside as it doubles as storage for the grains and other items the brewery uses. The bar is small, I believe it only sits five. The guy manning the bar was easy to talk with and was funny as well. They only had two beers on tap, and I stuck with the IPA which was tasty and crept up on you after a little bit with an 8% ABV rating. If you're in the area, definitely stop by to check out this brewery. read more

Had the opportunity to stop here last week after the Space Coast marathon. The staff couldn't have been nicer and the beer was great. If you have the chance definitely try the barleywine!!! The only downside isn't the breweries fault but the fault of Florida's weird laws. They have no food because they brew on site so be aware of that. They will however let you bring in food. 5of5 and worth the trip I'll be.l back for sure!!! read more

Stopped in on my way to dinner in Cocoa & tried the key lime, pale ale, & farmhouse saison. Their bartender was very nice and the beers were all interesting & delicious. 9 half pints ran us $21, which isn't something to complain about. Definitely gonna be going back. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company - The front entrance - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Great find (when I finally found the sign for it). I tried the Pale Ale which is their signature brew. It was good. Nice clean finish. My second pint was the Tag You're It which is brewed with an addition of 5# of Tagalong girl scout cookies crumbled into it. I didn't notice on the first drink, but upon swallowing there is a really cool aftertaste of peanut butter. Very good brew. Recommend this place to anyone traveling through the area. Dan the bartender was more than willing to chat about the beers and the brewmaster/owner. Neat place! read more

When we walked in the door we were greeted by somebody saying, "Welcome home." Sure enough, it's like drinking a (better than most) beer at your own home bar. The beer is great. I certainly wish I lived closer to take advantage of the other beer they keep on tap though out the year. read more

Cocoa Beach Brewing Company - Key lime craft brew. - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

A house turned into a brewery. Quaint and cozy. 4 chairs at the bar, a dining table for about 6 and a couch and chair that sits in front of a fireplace and TV. Like drinking beers in a friends house! (There is a patio out back!) My fiance and I had a mini vacation from Tampa and love popping into local breweries. Chatted with the few patrons inside and felt like we were home! Friendly people and our bartender (forgot his name!) was lovely as well. I had the Farm House Saison/IPA and then the Black IPA.... The black IPA was delish. Will be back on our next visit! read more

What's on tap, who's on first. I've been here three times now. Each time, they have some stuff on tap, some stuff not. BUT, wait, not to worry, the beer is good. This trip the only thing on tap was the pale ale... GOOD. It's no frills. Small space with well worn "Cards Against Humanity" at the community table. Come on in, enjoy whatever they happen to have on tap... it will be interesting. read more

Excellent brews and the owners are awesome people. I enjoy the small, cozy aspect of it a lot when I want to go out with my parents and just relax. Sometimes they only have two brews on tap, but even so, they're always good. Would definitely check it out if you haven't yet. read more

This place felt like home. Where else can you make yourself at home in a leather chair and watch some ESPN while enjoying beer and the company of friends? The other patrons who I assumed were regulars were super nice and welcoming. I was sad they only had 2 beers on tap but I'd definitely stop by again if I was in the area to check out what new creation they'd brewed! read more

This place was a bust for us. We are used to a lot more choices. The place is very small and had three different beers on tap. Two dark beers and a pale ale were the only choices. It may be for you but to us it was a disappointment. read more

Cool brewery in an interesting setting. A Delicious Pale Ale and Oatmeal Stout. Dan the bartender was awesome. Thanks and can't wait to visit again. read more
