A brewery in the Redlands of Miami-Dade? Yep, you heard that right. A beloved farm known for its fall and Christmastime activations, Pinto’s Farm in the Redland, added a new draw this fall with the debut of Pinto’s Brewhouse, a small 43-seat restaurant and brewery set on the property.
It marks the first time the farm has offered its own craft beer, along with a full menu of wings, ribs, burgers, and sides. Plus, it’s the very first brewery to open in the region surrounding the main entrance to Everglades National Park. However, there is a lively restaurant nearby that serves beer, named Rancho La Catrina 232 (formerly known as Krome Brewing).

The food menu options lean towards comfort food, but still have a range. The menu kicks off with cheesy yuca bites with garlic cilantro sauce, Colombian empanadas with beef or chicken, and wings with four sauce choices, including the house “Zesty Pinto” version.
Main plates cover the expected brewery staples. The grilled chicken sandwich and chicken tenders sit next to the classic single-patty cheeseburger. The “Abuelita Burger” stacks a full pound of beef with bacon jam and two strips of bacon. The pulled pork sandwich uses smoked pork tossed in-house barbecue sauce on a brioche bun, while the baby back ribs arrive brushed with more barbecue sauce.
Every main dish includes a side. Options include fries, sweet potato fries, mac and cheese, and elote in a cup made with roasted corn, cotija, and cilantro.

Beer in the Middle of the Redland
The brewery pours nine house beers that run a wide range. “Pumpkin Rancher” brings pumpkin spice, while “Santa’s Secret” is naturally the holiday ale. “Red Rider” covers the red ale slot, and “Rowdy Rooster” offers a citrus-forward IPA profile.
The “GOAT” keeps things simple, just like the lager. “Puckered Pig” adds a sour made with the farm’s mamey. “El Charro” is a Mexican lager option, and the “Witty Fox” adds a Belgian twist, while “Foggy Fields” completes the offerings with a hazy pour.
Evening Hours and Seasonal Events
The brewhouse is located within the larger farm and operates extended hours from Thursday through Sunday. Entry to the farm is required before 6 p.m., though the brewhouse area is open to the public after that.
Through early January, the property hosts Jolly Nights at the Brewhouse, featuring holiday lights, a 60-foot tree, photo spots, crafts, music, and indoor and outdoor seating. Happy hour runs on Thursdays and Fridays with six-dollar drinks from 6 to 8 p.m.
