Doral's psychedelic taproom, where 19 lines of heavily fruited sours and heavy hitting IPAs pour under some of the best can art in craft beer.
Tripping Animals Brewing pours from a warehouse taproom at 2685 NW 105th Ave in Doral, and it has become the name Miami beer people say first when sours come up. The house style is heavily fruited, loudly colored, and wrapped in animal can art that collectors chase.
Time Out Miami covers the taproom as a destination in its own right, and BeerAdvocate logs hundreds of the brewery's releases across sours, IPAs, stouts, and lagers. The room itself stays family friendly, with 19 lines and multiple lounge areas.
Who would hate it? Lager purists who think fruit belongs in a bowl. There are clean lagers on tap, but the smoothie sours run the show.
The taproom keeps its industrial bones, then covers them in trippy murals that match the cans. Yelp reviewers flag the multiple seating areas and the steady calendar of large format festivals the brewery throws in its own backyard.
Start with whatever fruited sour is freshest; the rotation moves fast and the taproom pours it best. Most pours land under $10, and crowlers go out the door for whatever you regret not finishing.
The IPAs hit harder than the cartoon cans suggest, per BeerAdvocate ratings, and the stouts show up heavy in the cooler months. Skip nothing on a first visit; flights exist for a reason.
Weeknights bring Doral locals and beer traders; weekends add families, food trucks, and festival scale crowds when a release drops. Miami New Times keeps it on the city's brewery short list.
