FUN FACT: Dirty Oar Beer Company is one of two breweries located in Historic Cocoa Village. Also, it is one of nine breweries located on the Space Coast (Brevard County). With quite a small selection spread out across a large county, all the breweries have the opportunity to be unique. But for Dirty Oar Beer Company (which I will shorthand to simply the Dirty Oar), they need to be different from their neighbors, Bugnutty Brewing Company. So did Dirty Oar accomplish the aforementioned "challenge?" Well yes and no depending on what it is you are looking for. Located on the north side of Historic Cocoa Village - which is the south side of King St./US-520, Dirty Oar is a large aquamarine blue building heralding a beautiful mural of birds and an octopus. There is a back entrance where their biergarten is located and a front entrance which i will consider their storefront. Parking is a bit tight, but may be accommodating enough as Dirty Oar is not as rambunctious as their neighbors, Bugnutty, are. My friends, Charles the Grey a.k.a. Roadie X and Patrick joined me today as we enjoyed brews and food in their taproom. The area is kind of small compared to other taprooms, but maybe it is because the biergarten is much bigger for overflow accomodation. There are games for people to play, in which my friends enjoyed a game that was kind of like either/or, and it was fun. Not very intelligent, but whatever. This is where things can be a hit or miss. Maybe it is me, but the flight of "milkshake" beers did not impress me at all. If I am going to drink anything "milkshake flavored", I expect to taste said milkshake flavors. They tasted okay for beers, and maybe that is being more lenient as it was not what I was hoping for. Not bad, but definitely not a "milkshake." Food was delicious, but it comes from a food truck parked next to the biergarten. The grilled cheese was good and packed flavor into something simple, but the Frito pie: exquisite. To be fair, anyone that messes up a Frito pie doesn't deserve to cook anything. Overall, Dirty Oar was a-okay for an initial visit. Will I be back here? Of course, especially if I want a more personal time with friends, family, or a date. But will I go out of my way to go here compared to other breweries, probably not. Still, an a-okay establishment that I suggest visiting at least once. On a sidenote, Dirty Oar is one of the breweries that makes up the Launches & Lagers II Tour in Brevard. It is also a location in the Untappd App. read more

Very cool spot in Cocoa Village! Went to have a beverage before dinner and found this to be a spot I will revisit when I come back to Cocoa Beach. Raimy who was our server was awesome! My wife & I were the only patrons there on a late Sunday afternoon and had a great conversation with Raimy as well as her providing us some sample of Dirty Oar's beers. I can see this place being an awesome hang as this is a small brewery with a personal touch in wanting to make the customer have a great time! Thanks Raimy for hangin' with us (Mike & Deb). read more

Great environment, good variety of beers. I was hoping they had a Hazy IPA, didn't but other beers were good.

Great dog friendly brewery with indoor and outdoor seating options in Cocoa Village. This was definitely a popular spot on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! The patio out back was reserved for a private event so we sat indoors with the dogs. Huge list of beers and you're more than welcome to sample a few before you decide what to order. I had to go with the Smurfberry Sour which is the most interesting sour beer I've had in a while and a fun blue color. Multiple TVs in the taproom so I would imagine this would be a good spot to catch any game and the bartender was so nice! read more

A relaxed local watering hole with chill vibes and great beer. You can sample a flight from a few or all 22 on tap at the same time! They are 5 oz pours in cute little goblets for your consumption. They have a good range to select from with their most popular Time Warp Double IPA. It's a strong and slightly funky drink with character. I also tried the In The Midnight Hour S'more Milkshake Wheat that made me reminisce about cozy summer nights. The Wall Mexican Hot Chocolate Imperial Stout had a smooth cinnamon spice that lit a nice fire in my mouth. Lastly, Fork It! Cherry Pie Scotch Ale was cherry popping! Their beer selection really is bold and will have a big impact on your taste buds. Some of it can be a bit overwhelming, so definitely get a sample!! read more

I really enjoyed the authentice feel in this brewery. Plus, the Halloween decor was great! The beers were delish, and you're able to taste as many as you'd like before ordering a full glass. My husband & I each ordered a 3-glass flight (each glass contained 5 oz.). The cost for both was a little over $21. *Great price* The bartender was attentive and cordial. Teh establishment was extra clean & uncluttered! read more

Dirty Oar Beer Company - outside in the parking lot - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

I thought this place was pretty cool! Several picnic tables inside, super dog friendly!! Bartender really nice and helpful. Tried a few beers and all were very good! Bought a fun tshirt while there, and there was a food truck outside too which we didn't try. Really liked the vibe here and the beers!! read more

Friendly staff, dog friendly, and good beer. What more do you need? A food truck parked outside, you say? They have that too! Board games and cards? They have that too? An outdoor beer garden? You guessed it, they have one of those too. They have a great rotating selection of beers that make this place a must when you're in Cocoa Village. read more

Their beers are tasty and the staff is super friendly! From their name to the names of the beers they brew and serve, the place has an eclectic vibe. Inside they have a bar and picnic-style tables and outside they have some picnic tables as well. On some nights, for a limited period of time, they have food merchants inside so you can get your grub on as well. They have crowlers (cans) and growlers (bottles) available for purchase so you can take home a party in your mouth. You can even get some merch so other people can be envious of your fine and Dirty threads. Parking is kind of a pain. It's in the same area as Norman's so you have several parking spots to choose from with some upper Cocoa Village parking lots too, you just need to find one. This is one Dirty Oar you won't need a penicillin shot for after spending the night inside, enjoying yourself! read more

What a great spot, with unique beers! The Dirty Oar has a huge selection of beer to fit every palate, which can be hard to find, as many breweries focus on just one style. The staff is great, and they are happy to talk to you about the beers, and let you sample before making a decision. They have seating at the bar, in the taproom, and a huge space out back under the covered patio. They have some games you can choose from, and Adirondack chairs to post up in and make an afternoon of it. The patio is dog-friendly, and well shaded from the sun! The staff is great, and didn't mind at all that our party of 5 was arguing over who was holding the tab, and named us as a family, which made ordering a breeze as the night went on and we all lost track of beers! read more

I was in town for work and just down the road from Dirty Oar so I decided to check it out. They have a covered outside patio with TV's and an inside area with bar and table seating. I loved all of the decor, the octopus presence was really cool to me. They had quite a few beers on draft (22 if I'm not mistaken) and so many of them sounded good that I decided to get a flight. My favorite was Rejoice, a pumpkin wheat. It didn't taste much like pumpkin to me which was fine because I'm not s a huge pumpkin fan but I loved the taste and it had a great biscuity aftertaste. The beertender that was there was super friendly, I really enjoyed my conversation with her. It was one of those places where you feel welcome and comfortable. I will make it a point to go back next time I'm in that area, I'm glad I decided to stop in! read more

Pickle sour done just right! In fact, every beer that I tasted was spot on! I enjoyed a six beer flight. The mango habanero kolsch was my second favorite. If your a fan on quality beers then don't hesitate to stop here! read more

Perfect addition to a flourishing Cocoa Village. On a recent trip, we sat at the bar and met the owner, a lovely guy originally from Vermont. They know their beer in Vermont! He couldn't have been nicer, and we really felt he cared about his business and they community. We got some other great brewery suggestions form him. Dog friendly, fun TV screens, great outdoor and indoor spaces. A perfect place to stop for a beer on a hot afternoon! read more

The latest trip for my son and I to the local breweries in our county, and the newest kid on the block did not disappoint... Located in an area known as Cocoa Village, it has a very nice, non-descript location on the periphery of the 'Village' proper. I mention this as it makes it quite easy to get into and out of, which for visiting the 'Village' is a big thing in my book. A wide hallway-like entrance leads you to the spacious location where the bar and tables are located. There you are greeted nicely by the bartenders and are offered what's on tap via a paper printout. There were quite a few choices for such a new brewery, and they even had this concept of an "Imagination Station" where they infused their brews with flavors of candy cane, mango, coconut, and other fruity flavors. The vibe of the place was good - music playing and the huge TVs showing ChiveTV or sports - more than appropriate. The quality of what chose to drink was top-notch - I partook of their maple scotch ale and a summer saison, while my son tried their Solar Darkness Stout, the same maple scotch I had tried, and he even splurged and tried a farmhouse ale - not a single one was disappointing, each of them were quite tasty. The service was good, friendly, and they were willing to jaw with us as often as we wanted. This is one of the breweries in the county I will definitely make a return trip, and will do so soon... read more

Awesome business with a great product and great atmosphere. love that they host events for dog rescues.

This brewery is a nice change of pace from the kitschy bars a few blocks over. Super sleek and simple, it knows what it is. Picnic tables and board games with chive TV and beer (no food so don't come hungry). The beer, I have to say, was just OK, but standing out in the overwhelming central Florida brewing stream is becoming more and more difficult. They seemed like they had a solid cast of regulars and our bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. We'll probably be back when we're in the area next. read more

Lots of selection but nothing really stood out as a really likable beer. If you have had Bugnutty or Playalinda you may be slightly underwhelmed at Dirty Oar. It's a nice bar and has a decent outside patio and they often have food trucks out back. Just don't get your hopes up to find a well brewed beer. read more

As a twat faced beer snob. I must admit the beers are pretty dayum solid. Although it wasn't really my sparkle the beer brewed with red velvet cake from a local bakery. Freakin genius! Way to colab and support other local businesses. The hazy was nice and juicy and the Belgian was likewise solid. Beer tenders were very knowledgeable and super friendly! And the name! Come on! It's fun af! Def make it a stop ! read more

The best beer in Brevard County... Go see them you will not be disappointed. They are a very good local brewery, and a very family atmosphere. Ozzy and the boys are awesome and if you are looking for great beer in Cocoa Village I suggest a visit. read more

Great rotating selection of beers for all taste buds even some wine for your non-beer friends. read more

With a name like that how can you not check this place out? The staff is friendly and very patient. It took me quite a few pours to really find a beer that I loved. I tend to like beer with lots of flavor and this place does not disappoint. They aren't afraid to put out some interesting flavored beers that are not just run of the mill. Chill environment. Great place to check out when you are on your way home from the beach especially since you can get the brews you like to go! read more

This is the greatest brewery in Cocoa. Wonderful staff, great beers and dog friendly. You will love it there.

Unassuming. Not dressed up. Easy choice. read more
