After a decade in downtown Miami, Biscayne Bay Brewing Company is packing up its taps and saying goodbye to its home at the Historic Post Office building. The independent craft brewery will close its downtown taproom on Sunday, November 16, 2025, as it prepares for its next chapter: a move to a new brewery, taproom, and beer garden next to LoanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins.
The closing marks a major shift for the local brewery, which first opened its downtown outpost as part of a wave of homegrown craft beer spots. The upcoming location, whose opening date has yet to be announced, will feature a full working brewery on-site. That means visitors will be able to sip beers brewed steps away from their barstools.

Brewing a Bigger Future
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
According to the company, the move is part of a larger plan to expand production and create a more immersive experience. Biscayne Bay Brewing already has ties to LoanDepot Park, as it is the official craft beer of the Miami Marlins. Its Biscayne Brew Hall has become a favorite among fans before first pitch.
At the new venue, guests can expect pours of the brewery’s core lineup along with small-batch brews made right on-site. A full beer garden is also planned, offering a larger gathering place than the current downtown spot ever could. “Our downtown taproom has been an incredible hub for craft beer lovers, friends, and the Miami community,” CEO John Lenon said in a statement. “We’re immensely grateful to our dedicated staff and everyone who’s supported us. This move allows us to focus on a larger venue, but we’ll carry the same spirit of hospitality into our next chapter.”
Since its opening in 2014, Miami’s craft beer scene has undergone a significant transformation, with many breweries consolidating, rebranding (such as Veza Sur Brewing Co. rebranding as Casa La Rubia), or closing altogether, such as J. Wakefield Beer. J. Wakefield Beer, which closed just over a year ago in October 2024, was such a significant presence in Wynwood that it hosted “Wakefest,” a large craft beer festival, for years, with its peak occurring around 2017. Since then, South Florida has seen plenty of other closures within the industry. Therefore, pivoting and expanding to attract a wider clientele is the key to survival in Miami today.

One Last Round Downtown
Before the doors close for good, Biscayne Bay Brewing is giving fans one last reason to raise a glass. From November 14 through 16, the brewery will host a “Moving Weekend Party,” offering $2 off the first beer of the day, live music, giveaways, and plenty of time to bid farewell to the downtown space.
The event is a final chance for regulars to revisit the place where many Miamians first fell in love with Biscayne’s locally made beers. Then it’s on to LoanDepot Park, where a new era of Miami craft beer is set to begin, once again brewed by Biscayne Bay, for Miami, in Miami. The downtown taproom will close on Sunday, November 16, 2025. The opening date for the new brewery and taproom near LoanDepot Park will be announced at a later time.
Biscayne Bay Brewing Company. 100 NE First Ave., Miami; 305-418-0179; biscaynebaybrewing.com. Closing on Sunday, November 16. Will reopen near LoanDepot Park at a later date.
