Invasive Species Brewing + Distilling - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

A little off the beaten track but definitely worth the visit. We sat at the nice long bar although they have plenty of high top tables to relax at also. Service was excellent and also patient with us first time visitors trying to decide on the right beer choice. The music choice was different but in a good way and a mix of some old songs that we all know but don’t usually hear anymore.

The best beer EVER. I was staying downtown FT Lauderdale the night before my cruise and it was well worth the short walk to Flagler Village and Invasive Species Brewing. I’m a well experienced craft beer drinker with a fairly refined palette. This is the best of best, especially if you are a fan of Havy IPA like me. They had so many great ones I couldn’t choose a favorite. Yes, it was THAT good! I don’t usually do Sours, but I also had a raspberry and apricot, that was out of this world! Great atmosphere and the evening I spent there was the highlight of my 12/2024 10 day vacation! I’ll be back.

The beers are great. Loved them. The staff has big attitude problems.
The service is pretty much nonexistent. They don’t tell you, but they don’t want you to be there.

We had just been to other breweries in the past week as we love to try new beers: Tarpon River, Orchestrated Minds, Riverside Cafe.. all of them have been so graceful and engaging and recommended us the right beers based on our questions.
We tried here, but there was no intention. Every time we were dismissed. “Look at the menu and I will
Come back to you” even after we asked for some recommendations on a more floral IPA ( i got the worst IPA, my partner’s IPA was actually more suitable to what I asked.. anyways) he was not wanting to speak to us. One of us later came back for another beer and they observed how one lady got the wrong beer and she was trying to tell the lady she wanted something else and her response (after checking with her partner : Mr. sympathy) was: the speakers are loud, you are loud but we can’t hear here 😕
In any case. The beers were good but the service was non deserving. It is sad. We love having fun. We will not come back and we will tell all our friends we do not recommend this place. Thanks for taking this comment and addressing it accordingly

High point dark beers are outstanding! Ambiance is fun and the staff is very cool. Look forward to coming back and trying more of the beers. Cheers!

From a former non-beer drinker, Oh this is by far and away the best tasting selection you can find. Great for flights to try everything. They have top tier IPAs and Sours and many other types. The ingredients are super unique and highest quality. They often sell out of their cooler, the vibes are super chill inside and they have a covered patio out back. We frequent this bar often! They also usually have a good truck parked right outside on the busy days and they're in a perfect spot for other fun walkable places nearby. 💯

Very cool retro vibe Brewery with excellent beers! Amazing hazy/New England style IPA’s and stouts! Heard great reviews on this brewery & was in Miami for work, so decided to drive up and check it out. Glad I did. Parking is challenging, but worth it. There are some beer that is canned to go, but not a lot of the hazy or stout. Great beer!

Our absolute favorite brewery! Whenever we go anywhere else, we always wish we had gone here instead. The vibes are great. The sours are awesome and very unique.

Update 2024:
Absolutely fantastic beer - great IPAs, sours, and stouts. Highly recommend.

Update 2023:
Visited a month or so ago, and the beer was fantastic, perhaps better than I remembered. Tried a few of their IPAs and a sour; everything was good, even some of their lower ABV IPAs had a better flavor than their big brothers.

Additionally, the food from the food truck was great, much better than it used to be. Not sure if it's the same or if they changed something, but would get food again.

Original:
Awesome beer! Wonderful, full-flavored hazy IPAs and a good selection of other style beers. Would definitely recommend. If you have kids, go early. If not, go when you want, and you won't be disappointed!
