Due South Brewing Co

Have enjoyed the beers from Due South for some time. First chance to go to the Taproom. Cool spot, just what I needed.

of the 6 breweries we went to around Ft. Lauderdale to Boynton Beach… this was by far the standout. they had the most on-​point beers to sample. a peanut butter porter… to a great dipa. they are doing a great job. keep up the great work!

Finally tried Due South… And not crazy about it. Not a big IPA fan so that eliminates almost half the menu. What is left over to choose from — nothing that special to me. Nothing I tried made me want to get it again, get a growler or even come back. The warehouse atmosphere is neat, and that’s about it.
I’ll stick to Copperpoint and Saltwater breweries in the area. Much broader/​better selection.
Update — went from 3 – 1 stars — see incredibly crude comment by management. Can’t handle honest criticism or opinion. Throwing personal insults? Lol whatever makes you feel better. Had you had an amber or wheat that was worth ordering a second time, I would have given you a better review. To me — it’s a personal opinion — you don’t hVe great beer. Not sorry I hurt your feelings. Best of luck, hopefully you learn some humility and class.
Update 2 — no wheat? So what was the dark German wheat all about? Your «1^st» reply was a very personal attack, which you took down, then put a new one up, then changed it what? Twice now? Allow me to be more specific. The beer list I was handed had 8 or 9 options. I recalled 4 or 5 being an ipa and I’m just not on that bandwagon (I have tried your ipa’s though in restaurants). This was not Feb, just when I took the time to write. so if that’s an exaggeration or I missed something my apologies. However, the beer I tried, which was 3 of them — none blew me away. The people I was with, weren’t blown away — so I gave an honest take of what «my opinion» is. You didn’t like it — you called me «liar, don’t be like David» etc etc. I won’t be back because of management alone. It’s been an ongoing attack which I’ve also received personal messages that I have now blocked. Didn’t love Due South, deal with it. I’ll keep it local, love breweries. Most notably Copperpoint and Saltwater. Wonderful election, better beer — and I’ll take their service over you as well. To quote you — Cheers!

LOVED this place! You wouldn’t think much of it pulling up as it’s basically a warehouse, but once you’re inside you can see stacks of canned beers, and the place really opens up which allows for them to have a decent amount of tables and a couple bean bag toss games.
The beer was on point and they pack a punch for sure. The Category 5 was a double IPA that was so tasty, and they have a Category 3 for people who don’t need to be drinking anything over 8%. I also tried the Hopicana and whoa. this did not disappoint. It was an IPA with a fruity aroma and after taste and definitely worth a try.
Very cool place, nice vibe, and good beer. Can’t ask for anything better!

Alright, I’ll be honest. I really love beer. I actually drove from Miami to check this place out so that’s true devotion. I was really excited to come here and upon walking in the place gave me great vibes. They had an area for playing corn hole, a tasting room, and plenty of tables for you to bring in food from the food truck 10 steps away. All in all, the place is great. It’s size is impressive and I loved seeing the old barrels across the warehouse.
The struggle I’m having with this brewery is that although I love the ambiance I don’t like the beer. I tried about 8 or 9 of them, stouts, ales, IPAs– pretty much everything across the board and I didn’t really enjoy any of them. Anyway, it was a great experience nonetheless. Cheers!

I was there for the girls scout cookie paring event. The beer I had was the trench with vanilla bean hues. The beer was very tastey. There was no service staff on the floor to take care of the customers. A very long line formed to get a beer. People will let their friends cut in line and then the line is Even longer. I give the bar 2 stars because the management doesn’t know how to take care a bar full of people.

It’s South Florida Beer Week this week so I will review my favorite local brewery. Due South has garnered 70 5 star and 42 4 star ratings to this point in time. That’s damn fine ratings for any business and I wish them continued success. It’s well deserved. They are clearly one of the leading brewers in South Florida, in fact all Florida. Due South can hold it’s own with any brewery anywhere and that includes Athens, Portland, Seattle, San Diego you name it and they would be a player
If I could be more precise here (and Unilocal should take note) I would do a 4.5 rating. The main attraction and the 5 star aspect is the great beer of course. The modest detraction is the décor and comfort level of the serving/​tasting area. As anyone who has ever worked in a warehouse knows the floors are cement, the AC is non existent, the tables and chairs a bit Spartan and frankly it’s kind of boring so it’s really all about the beer. True the tanks and the canning equipment are interesting for a moment, you can play cornhole, there is a TV at the bar and an average speaker playing a bit better than average music and they have a food truck of some sort outside most nights. BUT I wont go there on a hot day. Why sweat your ass off drinking beer there when you can buy almost all their fine brews at a number of local bars and drink in AC comfort for the same cost. In fact you can get a 20 oz Cat 3 at Bar Louie for under 5 bucks during happy hour. Now I am quite sure management can afford to fix all that up but to me it affirms that the focus is all on the beer and in growing the brand. I concede that I am OK with them continuing to produce great beer and to hell with charm. Specifically their Category 3, 4 and 5 IPA’s are stella brews, deserving high praise and wider distribution. Locally they are available at Total Wine and ABC. Caramel Cream is a clear winner as well and their special release Marina’s Trench is becoming a legend with it’s own day and limited batch production insuring a high demand. I found some last year at Dixie Bar n Grill so when I get back from Boston in mid Feb I am headed there. I would say that all the other beers are adventurous and high quality brews. I suggest a sampler to taste them all.
Due South is not the first brewery in S FLA but certainly amongst the best and while Florida and S Florida in particular still lag behind some other regions for brewing craft beer I see that changing in the next couple of years as more n more baby boomers from the northern states who enjoy imbibing move down. As a devoted beer drinker, not quite an aficionado and certainly not a snob I’m looking forward to my next trip to Due South before the summer settles in.

Customer service here is abysmal. They lost my credit card and it took 5 people to find it. The manager treated me as if I did something wrong during this situation. This part is personal preference but I do like the concept of waiting in line to be served. Especially when the line is 10 people deep and there are only two people serving beer. They need to work on their customer service concept. With so many breweries to choose from, I would pick somewhere else.

I just moved from New England where breweries are everywhere, some of the best beers I’ve ever had have come from New England, and Due South is certainly right up there on my list. All their brews are excellent, the Category 5 IPA and the Hopicana IPA blew my mind.

To me, Due South is one of the best breweries in South Florida. Period. Ever since I had their Caramel Cream Ale at the Parrot Bar in Fort Lauderdale back in early 2012, I knew this brewery was going to be strong. With every year, they have gotten better, making some of the best beer varietals around that are diverse, inventive, and, most of all, good!
Many breweries have opened in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-​Dade County since, but Due South is the gold standard. They always come out with terrific special release beers that push the boundaries of what beer can be. No matter what time of the year it is, when you go to Due South, it’s always going to be a blast, especially with all the beer to choose.

1÷3÷2016 — Sunday Funday!!! First brewery outing of 2016.
This is an all-​in-​one. Food truck outside (Outside The Box Sandwich Co.), Production that you can see, brewery tour, tasting room (two of them/​with A/​C and without), game room, sale shop (t-​shirts, glassware, coffee, hats), and beer to go cooler.
My favorite part of it all was the fantastic customer service provided by Bryan. We walked in, sat at the bar. He greeted us and said to feel free to ask him any questions and to sample what we wanted. After sampling a few beers, we decided on a 3 beer flight. What I like is that you can order however many beers you want in your flight. They charge per beer, as low as $ 2.
I had the Caramel Cream Ale on Nitro (thanks Bryan for suggesting it), the Isle of Margourdo, Pumpkin Ale and the Lost City, Amber Ale. Eaten with Outside the box Chicken Pesto sandwich with a side of quinoa/​edamame salad. Caramel Cream Ale was my favorite with the hint of vanilla at the end; it paired well with this sandwich and salad.
Would love to come back with a group and play some of the games and drink more beer!!! #drinklocal #supportyourlocalbrewery

This was my second visit to the brewery and I’m glad it wasn’t summer like the first time. This place is huge with the tap room and brewing all in the same area. It was nice and breezy this visit with the bay door open and the fans running. We ordered food from the food truck outside before going in and they delivered right to our seats at the bar. They have lots of tables and chairs but we decided on the bar since it wasn’t crowded.
Our bartender, Bryan, was awesome. We ordered a few samples of some beers but he brought us a few more so we could try a little of everything before deciding. They don’t do flights but you can order flight sized glasses and they charge you per glass. We each ordered three, which was the perfect amount.
I had Legendairy, a nitro milk stout, Sweater Weather, winter ale, and Isle of Magourdo, their pumpkin ale. All of them were really good but the Isle of Magourdo was probably my favorite. Very drinkable with a great pumpkin flavor.
Due South can be a little hard to find. It’s actually located at the back of the building and you can’t see it from the road but just keep driving and you’ll find it.

You can determine how many mini-​glasses of beer you sample, and so I sampled five beers. You can see my selections in the attached photos.
Once again, I found myself in a warehouse setting. Really good service with knowledgeable brewmaster/​beer-​server peeps. It was the second stop as I toured nearby Copperpoint earlier on this particular Friday afternoon.
Due South is one of the more popular local brands, and I was happy to check this place out. The thing that stands out is how fresh the beer is. It is cold and delicious. And, as strange as this sounds, I love to have a beer on an empty stomach. For some reason, it taste so much better.
Anyhow, I’m looking forward to returning. I love these casual settings. The crowds always seem so laid back. Conversation is king.

Many check-​ins from friends on my phone and I finally made an appearance after two years of its opening. The kick ass brewery is in an industrial area and you would miss it if you didn’t keep an eye out for it. The brew tanks are huge and there is a bunch of seating with corn holes, TVs, and adult Jenga for additional entertainment.
The bartenders are super nice and give out great recommendations based on your liking. There is quite a selection of their own craft beers and a couple guest taps. What the Hle? The name caught my eye and I figured what the hell. I asked for a sample and ended up getting a small glass. It was a German wheat ale that didn’t bitter my taste buds. I don’t go for craft beers often and it was good.

Whoo wee! Welcome to Florida, folks! Talk about hot! Coming from San Diego to enter a brewery that nearly melted my sandals, I had a hard time figuring out how they could brew beers without spoiling them in the heat.
I failed during my trip to Florida to make it back a second time for the brewery tour to be able to answer these important questions. Honestly, they have got to be pulling some magic to make the delicious beers I tried at the temperature it was in that room. I’ve heard many a home brew tricks: Wet towels with fans over carboys, squeezing them into fridges, etc, but from what I saw, it looked like a typical brewery in San Diego and with the delicious beers to match.
Considering Due South started as a home-​brew operation they obviously got it figured out early. Maybe they have high temperature yeasts, or I missed the cooling fans/​apparatus?
I had the Mexican Standoff and one of their seasonal IPAs. I visited my first night into South Florida (post boozy flights) so my memory is of a sweaty hot warehouse and some tasty flights. Post visit, I had some of their canned beer and still thought it delicious. Since I was staying so close, I meant to come back for the VIP tour but a summer thunder storm killed that idea for this Cali girl. There is an nice ice cold bar area off to one side with plenty of AC but our group posted up on front of the fans in the main bar area. I did notice the tanks and all the beer brewing equipment were exposed in the warehouse, leading to my curiosities. Cali tip: If you were going to drink beers here, dress lightly for the weather or bring a coat to squeeze into the chilled bar area.
At the end of the day: Delicious beers and I look forward to answering my questions about fermentation temperatures on my next visit!

Cool place. I’ve been twice now and I keep meaning to go when I can get a chance to tour the facilities. I always go on a night where there’s food trucks scheduled (they don’t have a kitchen).
The place is hidden in the back and gets pretty stuffy on hot days. Dress lightly and have fun playing a huge Jenga or bags.

Mexican Standoff wow! In my eye’s there best beer but they got many more to go, from there main stay’s like caramel cream, to there Seasonal like hopicana they do an amazing job.
They have experienced and creative brewers that do an Exelent job.
Stop by for a cold one, Brewery tour, take a crawler to go, play some games or for the food truck collaborations it will guaranteed a he’ll of a time.
It doesn’t hurt to be one of the fist of the movement creating a little Brewery destination in there area with 3 other local breweries near by, makes it a easy for brewery hopping not going to far.

I really enjoyed my visits
To this brewery, Due South.
They brew some amazing beers
That I happily poured in my mouth!
I was already a fan of the
Sweet & spicy Mexican Standoff
So I got a Crowler to go.
I warned my friends to keep their hands off!
They are also well known for
Their Caramel Crème Ale.
There is something for everyone.
Pick any beer, you won’t fail.
The Beertender was friendly,
I wish I got his name.
But he remembered my face
The next time I came!
My first visit, the place was empty.
But it was a Thurs afternoon.
When it’s busy, I doubt it’s crowded.
They’ve got plenty of room!
It’s too bad that their beers
Aren’t distributed in my town.
I’ll just have to stock up
Next time I go down!

Visited Due South Brewery in the same day as Tequesta Brewing and Barrel of Monks, and Due South was the standout favorite. Built by converting some warehouse space into a brewery/​bar, it has a huge open floor plan, high ceilings, and a generally welcoming vibe to the whole setup. Though they do not offer table service, there is no problem getting a drink. No sooner would I walk up to any spot along the bar than 2 – 3 bartenders were dashing to help me. Fantastic. The prices were beyond reasonable (I’m from Miami, and sadly used to paying more for less in most places). The 5 oz pours are the perfect option to sample beers you’re not sure you want so much of, and are an easy 2 – 3 bucks each. A pint is about $ 5. Mexican Standoff (a dark smokey beer with ancho chilis) and the Imperial Cream Ale were the best I tried, with Café Olé coming in close behind.
They do not sell food, but usually have a food truck available out front, and plenty of delivery menus hanging on the wall, so no biggie on that. The trip from Miami is a bit of a stretch, but well worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Love this place. Staff is always friendly. Prices are reasonable. My favorite beer is their seasonal pumpkin. I went last week and was pumped they still had some left over. Great beers there. Close at 11 which is good for a brewery. I can say I am a fan.
