Best Breweries in Dunedin
1. Dunedin Brewery
Dunedin Brewery, Florida’s oldest microbrewery, crafts a variety of small-batch beers including wheats, ales, IPAs, and lagers. Their beers are hand-crafted by their collective brewers in small batches 14-20 barrels at a time.
If you’re seeking a unique twist, their Biere de Cafe blends brown ale with chocolate and local Joffrey’s French roast coffee. Joffrey’s is one of my favorite coffee shops in Tampa, so you know I was sold!
Also, if you’re looking for a Dunedin brewery with food, this is one of the few that has a full kitchen. You can enjoy food like sandwiches, wings, and the fan-favorite Buffalo cauliflower.
With live music and events, this brewery has a fun atmosphere, whether you’re inside or enjoying the outdoor seating. Open every day except Monday—be sure to check their calendar for happenings!
2. Woodwright Brewing Company
Woodwright Brewing Company has a unique setting in a former woodworking shop, with rustic vibes. Specializing in traditional German and European-style beers, most of their brews adhere to German purity laws which allow only the addition of hops, barley, water, and yeast.
They offer a selection of over 14 beers on tap, complemented by wine options if you’re looking for an alternative to beer. Their beer garden, The Duneatery, serves German-inspired bites. The Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese made from their Irish Red is a standout.
Open Thursday through Sunday, it’s a cozy spot for Hefeweizen fans and anyone seeking a unique brewery experience in Dunedin.
3. Cueni Brewing Co
Cueni Brewing is a total gem! With 13 delicious beers on tap, plus ciders and wines, it’s the perfect place to try something new. I was totally blown away by their “There Gose My Pickle”—a dill pickle-infused Gose that’s somehow both refreshing and unique. Bonus points for the Florida-shaped flight, which lets you sample all their brews in one go!
Plus, it’s right off the Pinellas Trail—ideal for a pit stop after a bike ride (one of the best things to do in Dunedin!).
They’re open every day except Monday, so no excuse not to check them out!
4. 7venth Sun Brewery
7venth Sun, located near HopScotch Cafe (one of my favorite restaurants in Dunedin because of their amazing Cuban sandwich!), offers a rotating tap list with 10 beers ranging from sours and creamsicle wheats to lagers and Saisons.
They love infusing Florida’s tropical fruits into their brews, creating bold and exciting flavors. If you’re not into what’s on tap, their cans and bottled beers are just as impressive, including sours like Sakura Obscura, a Florida sour with cherry and pomegranate, and When Marsha Met Sylvia, a mango, strawberry, lactose imperial sour. Flights are available for the indecisive beer lover!
They are open every day with varying hours.
5. Caledonia Brewing
Caledonia Brewing is a charming small-batch brewery housed in the historic Dunedin Times building. It’s known for its commitment to natural and organic ingredients. Their beer selection includes unique options like Razzmanian Dubbel and Tripping Tripel, alongside guest taps like the Peach Cobbler fruited sour.
If you’re not into beer, they also offer wine, ciders, and canned cocktails. Check out their Instagram page, because they are always doing fun weekly events like “craft and drafts”, game night, trivia, bingo, and more. They also have everything to satisfy your sport-watching needs (beer and TVs).
They’re open daily, but hours may vary.
6. HOB Brewing Company
House of Beer (HOB) offers expertly crafted microbrews emphasizing taste and smoothness, making it one of the most popular breweries in Dunedin. With over 40 rotating beers on tap daily, there’s always something new to explore.
Its lively atmosphere features an expansive patio, live music at HOB Live, lawn games like giant Jenga, and unique events such as the 2nd Friday Night Market. To top it off, Corvo Bianco serves wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas to complement your brew. HOB is open daily, but hours vary.

7. Soggy Bottom Brewery
Soggy Bottom brings a charming Prohibition and post-Depression vibe, complete with creative chairs made from kegs, license plates, and tractor seats. This Dunedin brewery stands out with its fun atmosphere, featuring pool, darts, cornhole, and board games. Enjoy outdoor seating and exceptional service that makes you want to come back.
If you’re into porters, they are known for their toasted coconut porter. I’m not usually a coconut person, or even a porter person for that matter, but still found it to be enjoyable! Their Pumpkin Slaughter was probably the best pumpkin beer I’ve had. It tasted almost like a slice of pumpkin pie and it had hints of nutmeg. Remi’s favorite was the Blackberry Wheat, which he said he could “throw back all day”.
Hungry? Southern BBQ is conveniently located next door! Soggy Bottom is open Thursday through Sunday.
