Epoca Brewing

Had to try the New Times winner for best new brewery for 2022. What a hidden gem! As stated in a previous review, make sure to drive around back. It truly is a “hidden” gem. I had the First Tide red ale. Very nice and smooth. My husband had the visiting Imperial Stout, Untitled Art, hailing from Wisconsin. If you are a Stoutie, absolutely delicious, sweet stout. Camila was an absolute delight! Very knowledgeable of her beers and made great suggestions for tastings. We will be back ❤️ 🍻

New and beautiful place with a selection of beers. Staff is friendly and service is excellent. Dog friendly too. They even got some board games. Outdoor area is great and very cozy. There is a Cuban food truck the comes on the weekends with yummy food as well.

I'll share the good and bad about this brewery. A brewery's main business has to be the beer and the beer was very good. The New Wave Spiced Amber Ale and the Kronos IPA were outstandingly good. We enjoyed these beers in a beautiful modern tap room that was immaculately clean. I really wish we could have stayed to have more. The problem was the parking. After having one flight, we pondered the uncertainties with where we parked and the conflicting signage out by the railroad tracks and decided we would lose any argument with a tow truck driver if it came down to that. Before we even decided to come here, we researched it to make sure it had parking. A number of reviews said parking was around the back, and that was correct. When we pulled up, we saw vehicles occupying 6 of the 8 parking spaces. The other two had cones blocking them. Across the street, there were 3 cars backed in perpendicular to the street in front of railroad tracks. However, there were signs saying you needed to park in front of utility poles that ran along the tracks. It was close, but it looked like the back of all 3 cars were even with or a little behind the line of poles. Then we noticed another set of signs along the tracks that clearly marked it as a tow zone. The only option seemed to be to ask if I could move one of the cones and park out of harm's way. I parked next to the cars by the tracks and we walked in. The barmaid was very friendly but explained that the boss wanted the cones there for the rest of the day because there would be an event there at night. I didn't plan to stay that long, but it didn't matter. The barmaid said no one could park in those two spaces, but I could park anywhere else I wanted. That didn't help! We also noticed there were only 3 other customers present in the tap room. So why were there 6 cars parked legally outside? And 3 more across the street parked questionably? It was a slow day at the brewery and this just didn't add up. We ordered a flight of beer, since we were there. The flights are a la carte here, as if we wanted to buy individual sample servings. We enjoyed them but finished them quickly and left because of the ambiguities around parking Unfortunately,we won't be back, either, after seeing the inexplicable cones blocking potential customers from parking there.

What a great local place. Had no idea it existed but will definitely make it back. The burgers are brilliant too.

Fantastic brewery tucked away in the heart of North Miami. Great beer, great vibe and they are dog friendly, which is a huge plus! Thankful I found our new spot.

EPOCA GOES HARD, AURA? one of none, different fabric whole spot feels like a secret you’re glad you found A tucked away gem, laid-back but LOCKED IN

As many others have commented, the vibe here is sublime. The craftsmanship and decor is next level and full-on modern FL. I love it. But as a raging beer nerd, I’ve got to share that Kronos , a juicy - hazy ipa can keep up with the big bois in VT no problem. The King Tide is the toasted malted ale I’ve been looking for . It’s so satisfying. This is a must stop at if you want a unique beer experience, because it’s not the useual warehouse or resteraunt space that we are so used to in SF. But most importantly , the staff is wonderful. Our bartender spent the afternoon talking with us and just vibing. It was the most welcomed I’ve felt in a beer joint in SF since 3 sons opened. Thank you all. Us Broward folk will be be back - with friends!

Such a great atmosphere! Great beers, good food, and the design of the brewery is 🔥. And run by the best people too!

Cool brewery with an upscale vibe! My favorite beer was the New Wave. My husband liked the Eclipse, but It had too much of a coffee taste for me. The nooks and crannies of this place are cool and also the music. They had an awesome food truck, Nikkei Miami. We ordered the pork belly bun, which was delicious.

Cool place to hang out and have awesome beer and delicious bao buns. Honestly best pork belly and fish bao buns in Mia. Between the beer and the buns, we sat and ate and drank and ate and drank. Great alt old school rock this Thursday night. Fried rice mouth watering too.

We stopped by on a quiet Saturday afternoon around 2pm and were the only ones in the whole brewery. Upon first glance, I was already impressed. This place screams chic! The décor is beautifully done, very modern and clean and covered in beautiful bright green plants. The brewery is also open air so it doesn't have that warehouse feel some breweries give off. The lovely lady behind the bar offered suggestions and samples. Their house beers, while on the pricier side, were all delicious. I went with a crisp, fruity sour and my boyfriend got a nice IPA that he really enjoyed. While we were relaxing on one of their comfy couches the food truck (which appears to be a regular staple at the brewery) began opening up. The food all looked very tasty, but we had just eaten. Overall, I really enjoyed this little hidden gem. The atmosphere is wonderful, staff was helpful, and the beer was great. My only complaint is that $8.00+ for a 13oz pour is pretty steep and I would not enjoy hanging out here for more than a single beer at those prices.

This brewery had a great set up and I really liked the layout/design. It's a smaller place, but they have a large outside beer garden with plenty of seating and room. There was a food truck the day I stopped here so food should be available when stopping in for some beers. This may be the nicest brewery I have stopped into in south Florida- posh forsure. They did not have a large amount of beer options, but really enjoyed the IPA I ordered and the sour beer that I also tasted while there. The bartender was very welcoming and offered suggestions as well as samples of what they currently had on tap. Excited to come back again in the future!

Picture this: brewery meets Restoration Hardware. It was a first for me too. This is by far the chicest brewery I've ever been to. It's located on the train tracks in North Miami and you'd honestly never know it was there. The indoor space is quite small, but there is outdoor seating as well. Sadly, I didn't get to try any of their own brews as they didn't have any at the moment, but they had a variety of FL beers to choose from. Very cute space, dog friendly, and a nice place to hang out. It would even be cute to rent out for an event if they do that.

Great new local spot by local crew, it's always great to see! The decor is awesome, the outside area is a fantastic addition and parking is designated. Tucked away behind the railroad and in a warehouse district, you may never be lucky enough to spot Epoca from the street but you'd be missing out! I had a great time, connected with some old friends, made some new and enjoyed all the brews (ofc).

Awesome brewery in North Miami. They offer 5 oz pours and I was able to try a bunch of the beers they had on tap. They still didn't have any of their own beers, but the selection of beers from FL was phenomenal. Lots of delicious sours! Owner said they should have their own beer ready in about a month! Will definitely be coming back!

Love, love, LOVE this hidden gem! My gps took me to the wrong part of the building at first, but I soon figured out it was on the backside of the building. What a great use of space! I love the vibes, the decor, the beer, the people, and the food truck! It was great catching up with friends while playing board games and sipping on some craft beers. They even had a "beer" for my dog! Definitely making this a regular stop!

Delicious beer, incredible vibe, the staff is 11/10, and just an all around great brewery in Miami. They have a guest food truck company our front and live bands being introduced to the scene every week. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their stunning outdoor space. A definite recommendation to check this brewery out

Found this place on yelp. A little hard to find but our beer was great and the Peruvian food truck on location is delicious. Outdoor seating is attractive

Saw this place on a quiet night and it was gorgeous. I can only imagine it on their hip nights. Amazing Beer Choices for a Sour Snob such as myself. Friendly staff. A Nice hidden Diamond! I should rate it 1 star so I can keep it all to myself but I won't. Enjoy!

Damn... Damn...Damn...This place is great! The venue, the beers, the patrons, the music, the owners... all top shelf. Great place for day drinking or date night... OR day drinking that drifts in date night. Really cool inside and outside space.

First and foremost, the beer is great! They have a new 5.00 lager that is awesome to the taste buds and your wallet... they also have IPAs and Sours if that's your thing. All they really need is a stout on tap but they do have stouts in can. The interior is classy and has somewhat of a marble chiseled vaporwave vibe. They also have a nice patio area which will truly be appreciated when the rainy season ends. In addition to all this, they have an incredible Peruvian food truck that pops up on Thursday's with probably the best lomo saltado in town. Bartenders are nice and I love that it's not in a crowded area like wynwood. Definitely check it out if you are in the area.

Prettiest brewery in Miami-Dade Sadly I don't live in the area but I look for excuses to drive by whenever I can. Check out their tasty house brews or the constantly refreshing selection of rotating guest beers. Loving the Wrong Side of the Tracks DIPA right now

If you live or passing by NMB, Epoca is a must to visit... great music, food, people and obviously, amazing Beers.

I showed up there a few minutes before they were open and the owner was nice enough to just let me in and we had great conversation

One of my favorite breweries I've ever been to! The atmosphere rocks and the beer garden is perfection. The beer is pretty amazing, too. If you want other local recommendations, they are full of knowledge!!

The beer was delicious, the staff was super friendly & knowledgeable, and the place is thoughtfully decorated. Loved it and will definitely be back!

Great addition to the South Florida craft beer scene! 5oz pours let you get a taste before you choose a full pour. Their outdoor patio space has an comfy VIP Club vibe. The inside also has a very clean and chic look. Plenty of free parking and friendly bilingual staff. No need to seek out to Wynwood or Doral to find a good brewery.

What a beautiful brewery! Greet beer selection! They have such a nice patio right by the train tracks! I highly suggest it!

Great sour beers. Very friendly. Great environment. Only default, the food vendor on Friday night Mana Table, is overpriced and the portions are extremely small. I paid $9 for a piece of bread and butter.... The menu made it out like it was a basket of bread but nope it is just one piece of bread and a slather of butter that doesn't even cover the bread... please see picture. Again the beer is AMAZING and if you're looking for beer and unique types of sours and craft beers on tap this is an amazing spot!!!!

This brewery is AWESOME. Coming from California, where microbreweries are everywhere, it's great to see one pop up in the North Miami area. Beautiful and classy on the inside and a great large enclosed outdoor area with lighting and music. I was able to taste a few sours and an IPA before their grand opening. I'm a huge fan of sours so it's nice to see a brewery that specializes in them. Everyone with us was also very impressed by this place. I have no doubt they will be successful. Highly recommend

Great food trucks and awesome brews!!! Such a fun Miami atmoshphere with good eats such as apocalypse bbq on Thursdays!!!

I like this place but today I finally made it to happy hour and the "Happy Hour" price is 15% off? What type of happy hour gives you only 15% off? Honestly ridiculous for sure next time I'm able to go to a happy hour I'm not going to Epoca.

Awesome local brewery. Delicious beers that are super creative. Great vibe, good music, definitely one of my favorite new breweries in Miami.

Época Brewing is definitely a hidden gem that needs to be visited by everyone!!!! The taproom is very elegant but warm, inviting, and has a very cozy comfortable feel with very friendly and informative bartenders. The beers they brew where very bold in flavor while still being balanced. I had 2 beers one was the First Offering, Session Kolsch base beer that was fruited with passion fruit and dry hopped with Citra Hops, Crisp, medium bodied deliciousness at 4.5% alcohol this was way easy to take down 3 without trying!! Also had the Zenith a Double IPA fruited with strawberry and guava, dry hopped with Cascade, Zythos, and Citra Hops, this was surprisingly not sweet at all and very well balanced with a beautiful guava color, this yummy beer was so easy to drink it was hard to believe it was 8% alcohol!! They beer garden is gorgeous and definitely have me Zen vibes. Music was on point! Food truck that day was Cuban food very home cooking comfort style of cooking that was sooo good!! Over all amazing place I'm looking forward to becoming a regular!!
