"With its origin story starting in Cuba, where Cervecaria La Tropical thrived for decades until the Castro regime came into power, this handsome brewery opened in January 2021, showcasing an onsite brewery operation, taproom, restaurant, and botanical garden. Core beers offered include the original amber lager, whose recipe dates back to 1888, and Miami-centric offerings like amber lagers Art Basel and Inter Miami 2023." - Alona Martinez
"Is there such a thing as a bad plantain chip? Probably not. But this massive new Wynwood brewery showed us this week that there is such a thing as a perfect plantain chip. Cerveceria’s are thicker than most, cupped (kind of like pepperonis on pizza), and go perfectly with the refreshing beers they serve here. We truly could not stop commenting on them, and we got some interesting looks when we spent five minutes trying to photograph one. If someone makes a petition for Cerveceria to sell these in grocery stores, we’ll sign it." - ryan pfeffer
"This Wynwood restaurant and brewery has the holiday party trifecta: food, beer, and size. Since this is Wynwood, it might be smart to make a reservation if you’re coming with, like, 20 people (and/or plan on eating during the weekend). But you shouldn’t have trouble booking since this place is the size of an airplane hanger. Once seated, everyone—even that picky James from marketing—should be able to find something to order from the solid menu, which includes Cuban and Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken wings, a frita Cubana, and flatbreads. They also do live music on their patio sometimes, which give you something to stare at when the conversation between you and James inevitably flatlines." - ryan pfeffer
"Cerveceria La Tropical has something more valuable in Wynwood these days than a rented Bugatti: space. The huge indoor/outdoor brewery has its own kitchen too, which makes this place feel like a proper restaurant. The menu is mostly Cuban/Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken, churrasco, and pulled pork penne. The bar bites are great as well, like the housemade plantain chips with black bean hummus and the very aesthetic beer can bread." - isabel maza, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"I'm pleased that Cerveceria La Tropical’s restaurant atop the Crypto.com terrace will offer local beers and bites during the Grand Prix." - Olee Fowler
