We came by here once before and they were closed, so we were excited to finally get to check them out! Lo and behold our luck it was Dr. Paul Bearers event that evening! enjoy talking to a multitude of people there and finding more out about that person. On top of that they had great selections of beers and it really cozy place, even with free popcorn! The back room was definitely different than the front room, but worth a visit! Must see! read more

Searched breweries near me and found this little hidden gem! And hidden it is. If you don't know it's there you will not happen upon it. Tucked away in an industrial park. Bartender was so personable. Came for the spicy pickle beer. It was a little too pickle forward for me. Did a flight and loved the jalapeño tomatillo sour ... spicy and a bit of a tang! Did the pumkin ale as well. It had a fun rim ... definitely fit with the seasonal. A corny horror film was on the tv ... loved it!! Wanted to finish the movie but alas I had to leave. A nice neighborhood feel ... I will be back! read more

Absolutely phenomenal beer. Great variety. Whatever you like, they probably will have. Since they brew in extremely small barrels what I had, you may not. I had a chocolate and raspberry Imperial Stout that was probably one of the best I've ever had. NOTE... very hard to find, but well worth it. read more

We were welcomed to enjoy a beer 25 minutes before closing. There were several other people in this nice place too. It has comfortable seating as well as a bar with stools. Also, a movie theater in the back with Friday and Saturday movies. They don't serve food but have popcorn, chip items and candy. read more

Fun atmosphere! Very good beers. Friendly service. We really enjoyed stopping by. The ambience was great. The service was fantastic and the beers were also really very tasty. It's a little hard to find and a little obscure, but absolutely worth the trip. read more

Went here on a Thursday after hearing great things about this off the beaten path place that made unique beer. It's small, it's in a industrial park and we loved it. We met several people that were regulars and they went on and on about the amazing beer that this place put out. So I picked a random beer and my second drink I let the bartender/owner pick the drink. Both were amazing. So this being a brew lab they like to experiment with multiple flavors of beer and even mixing different beers together to create something truly unique. I really appreciate the community feel of this place and the many faithful followers of this place we met. We truly got the feeling that this was something special. One of the patrons decided to give us the grand tour. In the back of the space we were shown a full fledge movie theatre and were told that they do movie nights where they try new release beers , eat popcorn and watch movies. This seems like a great idea and I totally will come back for movie night. Thanks for a great afternoon. read more

I can't believe I have never been here before!!! Although it is nestled away in a business park off the beaten path in Clearwater, this brewery has such a fantastic vibe. Nice open and relaxing space up front at the bar and a cozy back room with plenty of seating and movies showing regularly on their projector. The night I stopped by they were having a Bill & Ted marathon that included the most recent one! So cool! Now let's get to the important part - the beer! I ordered a flight which was only $10 for 4 x 4oz pours. I tried Strange Things Afoot (IPA), Free Agent (Belgian Tripel), Get Scrooged (Berliner) and Good Morning Maple Cream! (cream ale). These were all solid beers with good, fresh flavor. I don't normally choose cream ales but this one was incredibly enjoyable. I had to try their amazing 6 ounce pour of the imperial IPA called Ghosts of Christmas Present ($6). Absolutely phenomenal beer. Really impressed by this brewery because they brew something for everyone and their taplist can really pack an ABV punch. One of the owners was serving the night I went and she was so awesome. This is a family owned brewery that brews in small batches so everything is really fresh. Go out and support this fantastic business! They do a great job social distancing and cleaned off every surface when a customer left (including couches!). They have great prices on growlers to go as well if you want to pick up something to share with your friends. I am really looking forward to going back here! read more

I am not a beer fan, so beware of what I say. 1. Interior: super dark and very humble place. 2. Food: none 3. Drinks: their cider was interesting for me and the beer tasting was good 4. They had a movie day when we arrived, which was interesting 5. Free popcorn read more

If there was ever a brewery designed to speak to Ben... this would be it! Movies... with some science geek thrown in!! This place is tucked away in an industrial park and also sells beer supplies. You will get your beer flight served to you in lab beakers (how cool?!?) They play movies and you can have great conversations based on their movie themed wall art. Service is always friendly and more than willing to talk about movies with you! ****And GO to their website! They have a beer-it-forward program where you can buy a beer online for any of our emergency workers (medical, grocery & pharmacy, police & fire, school lunch workers, etc) for when they re-open. PLUS.... A badass "I-Survived-COVID-19" Graphic Tee. $5 of every sale of these will go to an out of work brewery beertender. I just bought one for Ben to surprise him with. THIS IS WHAT COMMUNITY IS ABOUT**** read more

Granted, making this our last stop of our brewery weekend tour of Tampa-St. Petersburg may not have been the smartest idea. Tapped out after drinking my body weight in craft beer, I still wanted to discover Grindhaus Brew Lab, so off we drove from Dunedin down to Clearwater, where we found the location after twisting and turning around buildings in a beat-up industrial office park. If you didn't know from GPS where to turn, you would never know the industrial park as the location for Grindhaus. But that is part of the appeal of Grindhaus: off the beaten path nestled between industrial companies with a beaten-up sign. The brewery has two entrances on its north and south sides, respectively. The latter has the more appealing of the two as it leads into a horror-movie-themed taproom, darkly-lit, covered with posters of horror films -- you can imagine the fun they have on Halloween. I love how they pour beers into laboratory-made beak glasses. This glassware adds a coolness to the brewery that is unmatched. I only stayed for one beer since we had to hit the road back to South Florida. The Big Kahuna IP was excellent between the dry hoppiness of the beer and tropical citrus notes on the finish. In an area that's a hotbed for breweries, Grindhaus has etched out a niche between its horror-themed taproom and consistent brews. read more

Wow this place is really cool! It sounds German, but it's more like a theater nerd/ mad scientist's dream! You get served beer in a beaker, while watching movies (they had Loki series playing) and they have popcorn! Perfect combo. The owner was a lot of fun and we loved their beers. My fave was the lime margarita beer and the dill jalapeño beer. You can't find these amazing flavors anywhere else and they are insanely delish! read more

So i want to start off with a tip; the pub is a little ways back in the industrial park. Go to the right as you drive in and they are in the left side. Ok this is a cool place. In the back of their brew store. Movie themed and the beer is served in beakers. The couple serving was super friendly and helpful. I had an evil dead smoked read. Very good! I really liked the wood soles flavors. Looking forward to coming back to try more! read more

OMG!!! My new favorite brewery. Not only is the atmosphere super cool (Nerdy lab vibe, in a warehouse district), but their beers are excellent!! Love the different size options, and the beaker glasses. I almost didn't find it as my GPS didn't take me far enough back into the warehouse area......keep driving to the back! Also check out some of their specials - depending on the day. They also emailed me a credit to use on my next visit! I wish I could give them 6 stars!! read more

Just love this place. From traditional recipes to mad scientist elixirs, the beers are good to fantastic. Never a clunker. The cozy kitschy sci-fi horror movie decor has a a decent sized bar that let you convo with locals, beer vacationers and the very friendly, owners/brewers. North Pinellas has a dozen or more breweries, DONT miss Grindhaus both for the experience and the beers . If you don't have a GPS you might miss it anyway. read more

Fun little place in the DIY District of Clearwater. Interesting beers - some wild, some mild. Lisa is absolutely lovely and the "B" movie gimmick makes for a nice vibe. They even have a room in back where they show films! Great for a quick one or several. read more

Off the beaten path and GPS sure doesn't want to help as it's in an industrial park, but due worth the trip. Husband-wife team make great beer and very friendly. Love it here. Enjoyed the big kahuna tropical ipa and the evil dead smoked red. Throwback Thursday is $2.50 brews and $2.50 pretzels, sausage and cheese! read more

Robb brews a wide variety of wonderful beers, something for every palate.

Small place not of a challenge to find but well worth it. Great people and even better beers!!

Hands down, the best beer in town. And Lisa behind the bar takes great care of everyone that comes in. Grindhouse is one of the best spots to hang out with friends or meet new people. read more

So glad we found this place. Came here for a trivia night, and it was the best. Everyone was really cool, the flights of beer really tasty. This is definitely an out-of-the-way place, but it is worth finding. Don't let your GPS frighten you ... find it and you will like it. Getting here is part of the experience. read more

Grindhaus Brew Lab - Fine flight. - Beer Tours Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

A different kind of brewery. Very small batch and experimental. 8 oz pour flights are served in beaker glasses, which is fun. I tried Down the Rabbit Hole IPA, Evil Dead Smoked Red, I Don't Know Who is on Third Wheat and Big Kahuna Tropical IPA. All were spot on. Small with limited seating. Classic movies play on the televisions. The beertenders (owners?) are friendly. It was hotter than heck the evening we visited and there was no air conditioning. That and the barstools made for an uncomfortable experience. read more

My new favorite brewery in the Clearwater area! They have a great selection with an excellent trippel and pumpkin porter, especially for the Halloween season They serve all of their tap beers in graduated cylinders with is more than exciting for science nerds, like myself. Beers are served 4 8oz pours for $12, and excellent deal. read more

Hard to find but well worth the effort. The brews are lovingly made in micro batches and it shows. The vibe is awesome and staff friendly and kind. read more

I love this place, it's small and dark and they have great beers. Some of the beers they make are just off the wall great. My friend and I stopped in to waste some time, what better way; Drinking! On the wall are cool old movie posters and sometimes they have theme nights. I saw that they are having a Big Lebowski theme from May 1-3. They make beers to coincide with the theme(white russian stout) and have the Movie playing on a screen above and to the left of the bar. This trip I got the Cinnsastion or something, it was a cinnamon/ chili porter that was great. Good flavor and smooth drinkability. My Lady got the Graf XB-001, which is a cider beer hybrid. I tried it and man it was good. She said i could get into trouble with this beer! The other half of the Lab is a beer brewers supply store and they have all the essentials for brewing you could need. They also have kinda a snack bar with like pizza and nachos but I'm always there for the beer. Oh yeah they have a old style popcorn popper to get you thirsty again for more beers,tastes just like movie popcorn. Do yourself a favor and come be a Guinea pig at the Brew Lab.

A little hard to find, but worth the trouble. Easygoing atmosphere with good beer. Their $12 flight is a bargain; the boyfriend and I each had one and we were able to try 8 of the 9 beers currently on tap. The standouts were the Big Kahuna Tropical IPA, Tasty Waves Wheat Ale, and the Nitro Man Black Irish Stout. Each beer was full of character and there was something available for every palate. Lisa took excellent care of us, answering all of our questions and making us feel right at home. We will definitely stop by next time we're in the area to see and taste whatever tasty brews they come up with next. We liked it so much we bought a shirt to take home! read more

I am hesitant to post a review because I want it to remain a hidden gem. However, I can't help but tell the world how great this place is... from the small batch beers to the service. They brew a variety of beers, from sours to boozy stouts. There is always a rotating tap list. The place is setup for you to sample several beers from their menu. If you go with a few people, you could easily try every beer on tap. On our first trip, we also loved the popcorn machine as well. They have special events and releases at times. If you like trying different beers away from the busy brewery atmosphere, put this on your list! read more

What a gem of a place! Not only do they have a great rotating craft beer selection, but the staff are beyond friendly and eager to accommodate any needs if you want to procure the location for an event. I recently celebrated a "group" birthday party and it was a blast! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

What a cool little place. I only learned of it due to the Gulp Coast tour passport. Super friendly couple that are living their dream in a odd mix of brewery, home brew supplies, flea market and cool movie show house. You gotta try this place out as the beer selection was awesome. Small batches of a wide variety of types and flavors. Loved it. read more

The newest brewery in Clearwater! This film themed brewery in Clearwater serves up tasty, small batch brews and cult films. Try the popular Oh Beehive! Honey Cream Ale and the Big Kahuna Tropical IPA. New Beers come on weekly. Around 10 beers are usually on tap. Located in an industrial park with loads of free parking. The brewery is film themed throughout with many cool movie posters. The popcorn is free and other snacks are available. Sundays they provide free food. Truly a hidden gem. read more

Stopped in on a Friday as they were tapping the Fore West Coast IPA. It was delicious. We sampled several others and everything was great. We also ordered the Genoa Salami sandwich. Wow, what an excellent blend of flavors. Love the bread and I would say it is close to a toasty in Europe. Super clean inside. Very friendly owners. The only recommendation I would have is have coasters or napkins at the tables. Our tasters were sweating all over the place. I would also recommend having a water jug with plastic glasses accessible by patrons. That way you don't have to worry about getting guests water. Well done Brew Lab. read more

This place is one of those gems that gets over shadowed by the more popular breweries in the area. It's way back in an industrial area of Clearwater, but should not be over looked. Great beers! If you like sours, try the key lime Gose, jalapeño Berliner and Cucumber mint Berliner! They brew small batches, but have an extensive collection of rotating beers on tap. They update their tap lists online regularly, so you can check before you come if you want to know. I live in downtown Dunedin, but after finding this place, I make my way out here often. It's a must! read more

Everyone here was so nice. I brought my dog in for his first brewery ever (he's in training) and everyone was so nice, they brought him treats and water and took turns petting him! The beers were good. My only complaint is they don't do flights. Their "sample pours" are 8oz which is a lot when you are on a brewery tour. The place is located in a warehouse and I drove past it twice before I found the brew supply store in the back. There's a popcorn machine and a bunch of cool movie posters and they were doing trivia while I was there. read more

A really cool place, b-movie atmosphere with A list Beers. A little hard to find, but harder to forget. Beers for every palate, the weary beer veteran or fresh face neophytes. read more

Ok this place is totally unique well as unique as breweries come. The focus is small batches so what's on tap always changes. I discovered that they pick a theme based off a movie and run with it. This weeks movie The Big Lebowski. I went with the flight awesome choice. The beer was amazing I wanted more but a flight here is four yes (4) eight (again 8 oz) pours. If you like everything you can't drink more. I only wish I would have showed up later, they were having a Big Lebowski costume contest. I will be coming back. To know this will be different next week is a challenge I can't wait to accept. read more
