Founded in December 2013 by a team of local Floridians, Saltwater Brewery is Delray Beach's first local production microbrewery, with tasting room and beer garden on sight. Using only pure and natural ingredients, each style of handcrafted beer and corresponding name is inspired by the ocean to reflect the lifestyle and passion of the Founders. Saltwater’s goal is to maintain the world’s greatest wonder by giving back through ocean based charities (CCA, Surfrider, Ocean Foundation, MOTE) and the Edible Six Pack Rings. Over 12 styles are typically available in the tasting room, while Screamin’ Reels IPA, Sea Cow Milk Stout and LocAle, are distributed in cans and on tap throughout the state of Florida. Packaging is done on-site with the brewery’s in-house canning line, as well as their new in-line labeler for seasonal and special releases. Our passion for making quality beer for you is the way we can ensure we give back to the ocean as much as possible! Come with us to "Explore the Depths of Beer". Cheers!

Draft sample @ Florida Beer Guild Craft beer festival 2018 as Hazelnut Coffee Mayday @ 10.2% Brune foncée, col fin café au lait; Arôme est bien généreux au niveau des noisettes le tout ponctué par un bel effet de café et pas mal de grillé, impression de grains de café concassés. Palais est fort sur l'effet café avec un très bel effet de noisette, petite touche de cookie, pointe citronnée d'amertume sur la fin et un petit rappel de graham crackers.
