J. Wakefield Brewing to Debut a Star Wars-Inspired Beer Garden

Just in time for Oktoberfest season, a new beer garden is coming to Wynwood.

September 29, J. Wakefield Brewing is expected to debut a 600-square-foot beer garden in front of its Wynwood taproom.

Defined by a steel divider and a steel planter, the beer garden will feature bar tops and table-and-bench sets made from western red cedar. Each table will include a large burgundy umbrella with a lightsaber-inspired pole. The planter will also feature lightsaber-esque trellises.

“We're excited to provide a more comfortable outdoor space for our guests to enjoy our beers, especially during the cooler months ahead," community manager Alex Gutierrez says. "The new bar tops and tables will also give guests a place to enjoy food from the visiting food trucks that we host weekly and for special events.”

Designed and constructed by Brickell's Stardrive Industries, the space will fit about 50 people. The walls will be detachable, allowing the brewery to move the garden if the space is needed for an event.

The beer garden is slated to launch on Miami Madness Day, J. Wakefield's annual blowout celebrating the release of the brewery's famous Miami Madness, a mango, guava, and passionfruit Berliner Weisse.

Opened in January 2015, J. Wakefield has become the epicenter of Wynwood breweries. The taproom allows customers to sip beers — including Florida Weisses and sours made with tropical fruits such as guava, dragon fruit, and papaya — in a Star Wars-themed atmosphere.
