Cocoa Beach Brewing Co.

Bartender was friendly and proudly proffered the three available brews the day we stopped in — –a peanut butter girl scout cookie porter (thankfully a good porter with very little girl scout cookie echo), 5%, I think, «sessionable» — –a key lime something or other, that the BF and I shared, which neither of us should have liked, but did, and a strong Barleywine that we avoided for religious reasons (it was Ash Wednesday — haha). Tiny place that’s been there awhile, and likely will endure. Friendly little bar with a mix of locals and visitors. Notably, when we walked in, the two guys at the bar with four seats moved over to allow the BF and I to belly up next to each other. Appreciated. Lots of cheeky bumper stickers on the walls and decorating the lavatory walls. Atmosphere exceeded the square footage. No complaints. Just wish they’d have had an IPA or something hoppy on tap.

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.

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!

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.

This tiny house is right across the street from the beach and you’d never know it was there unless you were really looking. I went in on a day when they only had two taps but they said they usually have 4 – 5 going at a time. The two beers I tried were solid. I nice porter and a good double IPA. It is housed in two small rooms with TVs and games laid out for use. Looks like it could get crowded quick but was a fun little place to check out in an area where there aren’t really any other beer options.

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.

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.

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.

James from Detroit,
Love the new experimental brew! Man behind the counter is a really nice guy and loves his craft. It’s a small brew feel but I love it. Wouldn’t change a thing, maybe adding some cheap rolls or bread would be nice :)
Edit: So I found out they are not allowed to serve their own food but they have pretzels!

I might hurt somebody with this review but I didnt see the 4 ½ stars on this brewery anywhere.
Small little shack in the middle of Cocoa Beach. If it was’t for Unilocal,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.

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!

This is a cool little place. Wifey and I stopped in to try out what Unilocal 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.

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.
