The Wynwood Brewing Story: A Toast to Miami’s Craft Beer Revolution

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Miami lies a story of innovation, community, and craft that shook the city’s beer scene to its core. Wynwood Brewing Company, Miami’s first craft brewery, sparked a revolution that brewed far beyond its tanks. As we delve into the journey of Wynwood Brewing, it’s evident how a single brewery’s passion and creativity ignited the vibrant Miami craft beer community we cherish today.

From Home Brewing Dreams to a Craft Beer Phenomenon

The origins of Wynwood Brewing are as colorful as the murals that adorn the streets of its namesake neighborhood. The dream began in a modest home, where father and son duo Luis and “Pops” Brignoni transformed their brewing passion into a thriving business. Opening its doors in 2013, Wynwood Brewing quickly became a beacon for quality, innovation, and community.

Signature Brews and the Art of Ale

At the heart of Wynwood Brewing’s success are its signature brews, each telling a story of inspiration and craft. La Rubia, Pops Porter, and Father Francisco became instant classics, beloved for their unique flavors and Miami heritage. La Rubia, in particular, stands as a testament to Wynwood Brewing’s commitment to creating approachable, exceptional beers that resonate with the community.

A New Chapter with Veza Sur

As we raise our glasses to ten years of Wynwood Brewing’s pioneering spirit, a new chapter unfolds with its transition to Veza Sur. This move marks a strategic step by Anheuser-Busch to continue Wynwood Brewing’s legacy while expanding the reach of its beloved brews. Veza Sur, just blocks away, will now house the production of Wynwood’s core beers, ensuring that the essence of Wynwood Brewing continues to flow throughout Miami and beyond.
