The Aleworks always seems to be filled with students and visitors taste-driving the microbrews and other selections from the full bar. Seats on the second-story balcony provide a great view of the marina and bay across the street. It's a little like being on Bourbon Street—but clean.
For a taste of Florida, consider trying the Conch Republic Key Lime Wheat Beer at this satellite location of the Sarasota-based brewery. Of course, if you aren't sure what to order, bartenders happily offer free samples. Beer flights and packaged beer are also available, as are sandwiches, burgers, and bar snacks. The brewpub also hosts trivia or beer-Bingo nights, as well as Saturday and Sunday brunches that feature bottomless mimosas. If you're a sports fan, you can catch games on multiple TVs in the bar; if you want to relax, head to the quaint outdoor seating area.
Grab a locally-brewed pint inside the taproom and enjoy the outdoor beer garden under the large, shady oak trees. During football and Gators sports games, catch up on scores via the brewery's large LED screen. With 26 taps, house-brewed beers and seltzers, ciders, and even nonalcoholic beer, First Magnitude hosts food trucks, trivia nights, and live music throughout the week.
Occupying a former parking garage in the heart of downtown, this airy brewery makes American-, Belgian-, and German-style craft ales. It's a rotating selection, though the popular Beach Hippie IPA and Daytona Dirty Blonde ale are mainstays.
