We heard about the extensive cool beer list at Arkane Aleworks, and they weren't kidding. There are boards across the walls behind the bar listing what they have. There are about a dozen bar-seats that have backs, which is more relaxing to me. The rest of the room has table seating for around 30. There's two or three 2-seat high-top tables out front. And there's even some outdoor seating for around 20 in a little triangular patio on the side. The decor is casual, with racks of oak barrels in the front, and lots of cool artwork on the walls. There's brewing equipment in the back, and some of the seating is right next to it. And they had an apparently unscheduled improv comedian out on the patio on a friday night (Jan 2026). They were great! And the audience was a good group, too :-) Beverage-wise, and the selection of beers change constantly, so look on the board for the new ones and the ones that are almost gone. We had to get a fun Fra-gee-lay golden lager from the Almost-Gone list. It's a luscious medium-light-flavor beer named for the Major Award in Jean Shepherd's Christmas Story film. We chose a sour, Astral Reign, blueberry with blood orange and some flavor or marshmallow. It was a great taste, plenty of sour balanced with grain, and sweetness smoothed out by light marshmallow. We loved that, so we also got an enormous can of that sour! And someone in our group got a decent red cabernet ... in a brewpub ... sheesh. Well, it tasted better than the house cab at many places! It was busy this Friday evening, with enough seating that we walked right in. This place is easy to get to, in the northeast corner of a strip mall on E. Bay at Starkey, and there's plenty of parking. There's a fridge next to the bar with beers to go. We love these beers! We love this brewpup-alehouse! read more

We were in town for work, and one of my friends wanted to try this brewery out! So glad we did! It was a fun experience with all the different beers that they make here. We even bought some to go too! The place is a casual place, they don't offer food however there is a pizza food truck in the back called "Rocky's". I had their margarita pizza and it was one of the best! There's a bar that you can sit at, high tops, or low tables. The team members gave us a taste of the beers so we could decide. The watermelon beer was really tasty. I think trying it as a flight is good since it's so sweet. The Nuclear beer with blackberry I think it was, is delicious! We also tried a habanero beer that had a nice after spice to it. I took home a carrot cake beer, watermelon beer, almond cookie beer, a green slushie beer that I will be trying soon and can't wait! We all most definitely said we will be back when in town again! If you haven't tried the place, why don't you give it a taste! Cheers! read more

Arkane Aleworks - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

This place is awesome, if I were a local then I would be a regular here. Scale: 1-5 Beer: 5 - I had a flight. 2 hazy IPA's 1 BA Stout and a Pistachio Sour. All were delicious but when I ordered the next beer it was the Pistachio Cream Puff Sour. It was so good with a nutty aftertaste. reminded me of Xul PBJ Mixtape. Atmosphere: 5 - lots of high to seating. Relaxed casual atmosphere. Music bingo was about to start when I left. Cool place. Service: 5 - Ordered at the bar. Made sure that my flight included a couple of their most popular beers. Food: Yes but I didn't even look at the menu. Had Brazilian steakhouse for lunch and got my money's worth so I'm drinking dinner. Cultural/Political Agenda (1-5): 5 -Everyone is welcome. No preachy nonsense or virtue signaling, just beer, as it should be. read more

Excellent beers, great staff, nice tasting room and brewery! Don't miss out. Make sure to stop by and say hi to smalls.!

Beer is rotational with "let's throw the kitchen sink in the kettle, add a crazy name & hope it's cool". There is an obvious lack of brewing skills using malt, hops (in moderation) & allowing the yeast to speak with brewers craft illustrating skills. Sours & crazy flavors with way over hopped beers are simply gross. Quality of the malt can't even be recognized. Seems to be a wokey hang out & highly suggest avoiding it. Perhaps one day they will craft some decent beer and keep it on the menu, so it would attract us locals that live right here. Bar staff seems entitled & unfriendly. Looking forward to them having to sell out and new ownership reworking the location doing scrumptious craft beers with character and some tradition with brewers art. Guessing they will be out of business by 2026. Not a place to take kids or your family. Reworking the beer menu, consistency & replacing staff is priority one for this failing watering hole. read more

Excellent beers. Great spot for sour selection. We love trying new breweries when we visit new towns. Earlier in the day we were at a Brewery in Downtown Dunedin. We have never been a fan of sours, Arkane had a sour on the guest tap where we were and we decided to give it a try. Not only were we surprised we liked a sour, but it was the favorite beer we tried that day. We wanted to buy some cans but since they were a guest there they didn't have any. We did some research and learned they were local so ventured here to come to the source and tried even more sours we liked! Standouts were the watermelon blow pop and the creamsicle, honorable mention the Watergate salad. Laid back place, friendly staff. For the most part with a few exceptions you can mix and match cans and they offer flights. read more

This is my go to local brewery!! My original review talked about how it's in a strip mall. It's still in a strip mall but the area has expanded from whiskey wings, to WaWas drive thru located near by. Anyways back to Arkane, this place is super relaxed and chill, even on weekend when. There is an event everyone is here to just wind down, enjoy a drink and relax. The bartenders are all so chill and alway have good conversations with them, I've been coming here so long that i have gotten to know them. I had another review and everything about it is still true, best micro brewery in Largo and probably the only micro brewery as well. Come here and enjoy yourself, you won't regret it. PS, they also have an awesome customer incentive, they give you a punch card and after several drinks you get freebies can't go wrong with that. read more

Arkane Aleworks - BA Dessert Eagle,4th Meal,Spiced Apple Rings, Raspberry Lemon Bars! - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

This is really a review for Suga' Shane's pop up restaurant. Arkane Aleworks hosts this business every Thursday. Shane also owns a barbecue popup. My meal tonight was: ribs, corn pudding, beans, & collards. Shane is from Memphis and likes it spicy. My faves were the beans and corn pudding but I have to say that the ribs just fell off the bone. Shane's cheesecakes were the icing on top of the cake. So many varieties to try: thin mint, lemon cello, strawberry shortcake, Dr. Pepper, Biscoff, Elvis and more! Arcane is a spacious pub with a huge variety of ales, sours, and more. Shane had plenty of space to assemble the cheesecakes and he set up a tent for the barbecue in the outside rear of the pub. Come check out his BBQ and cheesecakes every Thursday at Arcane Aleworks! read more

I was always the girl that said that she does not like beer at all, however Arkane Aleworks has totally changed that for me. I am in love with there Sours! Arkane Aleworks is a hidden gem inside of a Largo strip mall. It has a very cozy and friendly vibe. Local artists display their art on the walls for purchase, which is so fun. There is a cool outdoor area in the back too. It's fun to get a beer flight and play one of the board games there with your friends. At certain times there is a revolving food truck serving yummy food. One thing I absolutely love is that I can bring my dog with me, and she can even sit with me inside or out in the back!!! I am always telling everybody I know that they have the most awesome sour beers. Every time I visit there are different sours to try. I can't believe how they can make all those interesting flavors. At Halloween they had so many candy flavored ones, like Skittles. Sometimes they have a smoothie style sour which is amazing. I also love Gimmie Swelter, which is a Mango Habanero flavor, and the Dole whip one. They always have fun names for their beers. I love going to the different events they have, like the improv Comedy show and their big Sour events. One day I want to go for Bingo. It's also so cool to watch them can a beer from the tap if you want to take one to go. Nobody does Sours like Arkane Aleworks!!! I highly recommend getting a flight of beer! They also offer half pours as another option. read more

This is a nice place. Because it's in a strip mall there's plenty of parking. The taproom has a big bar and plenty of table seating. I had an IPA and tasters of a couple of their sour beers and all were enjoyable. I also really liked that they had a Thai food truck out back. read more

Cool atmosphere, hilarious artwork to look at and many games to play. They have daily food trucks outside. The beer is good but they have a very limited selection of IPAs, great selection of sours though. read more

Arkane is located in a strip mall in Largo and although it doesn't look anything special from the outside, the beers they make are top notch. Here are my ratings based on different criteria: Quality of beer: Excellent. They mostly specialize in sour beers but they also carry a smaller selection of IPAs, porters, brown ales, and stouts. One of their flagship beers is called the Dessert Eagle which a sweet stout and is a must try if you're into stouts. They constantly introduce different variations of this beer like bourbon aged version topping in at 12% ABV! I also tried their Raw Toast just because the description said "The Champagne of Largo" and boy...it tasted just like Stellas which I happen to also like. Décor: Artsy. The walls are adorned with art work from local artists. All the art is eclectic and up for sale. The outside area leaves a bit to be desired of. There are wooden picnic benches and not much of a view other than a constant sighting of cars going by in a back alley. Cleanliness: No complaints. All the tables and floor were kept clean. Service: Friendly. They were happy to let you sample as many beers as you wanted. Price: more than typical. I typically expect breweries to charge $6 for a pint of a regular IPA. Arkane, however, charges $7 for most beers and even higher for others. If you want some great beers and don't care much about sitting outside then Arkane is a solid choice. read more

Ben and I had been coming to this brewery for a few years as they are one of our favorites with their amazing sours they always have on the line up. During the height of Covid, Ben would go and pick up to-go crowlers since everything was closed for enjoying beers at the brewery. From how quickly things were sold out online, I was happy to know they were doing alright even with all the new processes but then it also was frustrating when you really wanted something and it sold out in less than a few hours. But from what I have seen from this brewery, they do bring stuff back so just be patient. I love that they always have something new here. To me, that is one of the major points of a brewery and having a tap room. Service has always been friendly here but I do have to say I don't really care of their loyalty card program. Online it states flights are included in the punch system but when you're there, they will tell you no that it is a punch per pint. Doesn't make sense when a flight costs more than the $6 or $7 you spend for 1 pint but that won't keep us from coming back. Still don't agree with it, especially since it is stated online so I do hope they at least change the wording to go along with the actual policy or to include a flight for a punch since you spend about double to begin with. If you like sours, this is the place for you. Try them out and if not, that is cool too. More for us. :) read more

My husband and I have been coming to this brewery for years, so I can't believe I haven't written a review yet! It is situated in a plaza in Largo. Up until this month, we hadn't been back to this brewery in well over a year due to COVID shutdowns. Arkane is one of those breweries where you are going to find top notch beers, no matter what time of the year you come in or what style of beer you drink. They are well known for producing unique beers of the sour variety. However, their other beers, e.g., IPAs, ales, stouts/darker beers, etc. are always very good. Before Easter, we enjoyed a flight of their Peeps themed sour beers along with a NEIPA. All of the beers were delcious! The tap room has both indoor and outdoor seating in the beer garden for social distancing. They typically have some type of food vendor on the weekends. Also, they offer crowlers and other cans of beer to go. It's an all around great brewery to visit in Pinellas County. read more

Arkane Aleworks - Sour Peeps variety - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

What a hidden gem. This craft brewery is way back in a strip mall, behind a bank, next to a CrossFit gym and some other non-destination stores. It's actually kind of hard to notice or find, because it isn't visible from the road, and the businesses around it make a mess of the parking lot "roads." So many amazing dark beers. Most places are just seeing who can put the most IPAs out, or who can find the sourest sour. Even one craft stout can be hard to find, and on multiple occasions these guys have had 5 on tap. One of the best I've had is the Dessert Eagle, a variant on an imperial stout they call a Pastry Beer. It is all of the things I just said and more. They had a few delicious variants of it, like a Fluffernutter version. One down side is it is an indoor space, so I can't really recommend it during a variant outbreak, but outside of that, get vaccinated and get some awesome beer. read more

A great stop in Largo FL. Good selection of dark , hoppy and sours. I really like their DIPAs --- Love Goliath and Ultraviolet Dreams. They also have bourbon barrel, whiskey barrel and rum barrel brews. Parking on site. How could you go wrong here in the sunshine state? Warm sun and a fine beer. read more

Arkane is magical. Very magical. For a guy who loves sour beers, the unicorns are out in full force, prancing across rainbows while elves frolic and laugh aimlessly with the centaurs and griffins on fluffy clouds of gold. Arkane makes other sour beers from breweries wish they WERE sour beers made by the former. Located in Largo, outside of the Tampa-St. Pete stronghold of brewery purity, Arkane is like an ivory tower of shimmering light and supreme wonderment. A pilgrimage for which all who enjoy sours must go to embrace the Bacon Satan and have multiple flights before then taking home crawlers to enjoy and savor every drop until there is no more. What should you have if available? There are many options to start, but there are a few to hold and enjoy that you should have. Otherwise, life will have no meaning. The air will be feint. The sounds are silent. The scents become scentless and senseless to the point where you should stay in a fake wooden room of some warehouse, selling Amway, while Chuck Mangione plays in the background to the point of insanity. If you don't want this happening to you, you must enjoy beers like the Desert Eagle that will make you spread eagle (or at least try to without going into blinding pain). The Rocky Road version of the pastry stout is a magical blend of rocky road supremeness. Holy crap cock titty sprinkles, with their majestic combination of chocolate, marshmallow, and walnut on the palate, will take you to a place majesty to where you will elevate into the sky and fly like a... (wait for it)... eagle into the sea. The PB Cup version is just as magical if you love peanut butter cups as much as I do. My favorite outside of the Desert Eagle is the Can't Elope cantaloupe sour Berliner Weisse. This sour is a magical blast of antelope goodness made by unicorns of the Largo rainbow from which all happiness generates like a bass beat bumping generator. Another hot-after-you-fuck standout is the Pineapple Upside Down Cake sour from the Grandma Finger series. Sipping from this beer was like the unicorns were blessing me with multiple servings of actual pineapple upside-down cake that I couldn't stop eating because of unicorns and shit. A rock star of pure excellence and awesomeness that just tantalized with delight and deliciousness. Our Jelly is additionally magical. Very magical. The peanut butter and strawberry Berliner Weisse is a PBJ blast of heaven with pegasuses ridden by elves across rainbows. At the same time, gnomes frolic with hellions through a candy-cane meadow outside lollipop lane. Other standouts from my flights included the Sofa King Mojito that captured the essence of wonderment that watermelon can bring for a magical, mystical experience. The mango-forwardness of the spicy Gimme Swelter sour Berliner Weisse was quite lovely for a drink, which I didn't find was overwhelming with heat that habanero peppers can bring. If you, like me, enjoy coffee, then you should enjoy the Bend the Knee and Coffee Starscream. The former has a delicate balance of coffee and cherry for refreshing and sweet Berliner Weisse. The latter comprised a solid sour with predominant raspberry notes and a hint of blackberry on the finish. So should you go to Arkane? YES, YOU SHOULD. You should be willing to jump leaps and bounds, soar like an eagle on steroids, and enjoy yourself some tasty beers from this spear of pure awesomeness. Arkane is grand. Arkane is gold. You should go there now so you can be part of their story as it is told. read more

Stopped in on peep sours day and had a wonderful time. The bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable and welcome you as you step in the door. There is pub-style table seating both inside and outside. Beside the sours our friends ordered, my guy and I shared a flight of IPAs. My favorite was the Goliath - a double IPA with Citra, Galaxy & Nelson hops. Collab with magnanimous brewing. 8% ABV His fav was the RAWberry Strawberry Milkshake IPA. 6% ABV. We belong to the Arkane Aleworks Reward Club. Check out their website for the rewards! Located in a strip mall, there is free offstreet parking. The establishment is very clean and there are great things to buy too to show your support. read more

Arkane Aleworks - Peep Flight - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

Sour beer heaven! Came here for sour beer day and they had 30 sours rotating that evening. So many great choices that I had to bring some home to try later. We had Banana cream pie, Chardonnay, pistachio cream puff and baby yoda pants. Banana cream pie and Pistachio cream puff were 5 star. Bought a 4 pack of banana cream to go. The staff was super helpful in explaining the choices to make a decision. They were also very fast to serve. Decent size indoor area and a big outdoor area with some picnic tables for seating. If you are looking for great craft beer and something different, this is the place to try. They also have food out back you can buy if you need some grub with your beer. read more

I have to say this is my favorite place now that they have such AN AMAZING SELECTION OF SOURS! This place was recommended to my friends and I while we were in the river mini golf place near by. I don't like beer much but I have gotten into the sours lately and they taste great! I have tried multiple breweries but this one has a lot of good ones. The one I tried was the mango keylime and omg it was wayyyyy too good! My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have plenty of board games which we took advantage of and played. I think it's a really cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking and variety of beer selection. Can't wait to return read more

Arkane Aleworks - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

Bit of a beer snob here, but we were really looking forward to this brewery for its highly rated sours. It didn't end up turning out great. Instead, it was...just...meh. That's about it. Bartender was not very personable - offered no recommendations or explanations on anything, but at least service was quick. The beers...not good. I'm a huge fan of sours, German beers, stouts, and especially Belgians. While there were no Belgians, my only guess is that they would have suffered the same fate as all the others - syrupy and unbelievably sweet. The hefeweizen (Hooked on Phenolics) was the best of my flight, but it still had a very heavy mouthfeel to it - not like any other hefeweizen I've had. I also tried three stouts - 4 Fingers Chocolate Hazelnut, Dessert Eagle Fluff, and I'm Sweet Enough Mint Chip. The mint chip was enough for me to nearly gag as it tasted like cough syrup. Instant goosebumps for sure. The other two were OK, but extremely sweet. Too sweet even for a stout. Since all of the stouts were 10% on the button, I can only assume Arkane uses the same stout base and adds flavors after the fact. Unfortunately, the same goes for the sours. Nearly all of them are exactly 6%, flavors likely added after the fact rather than fermented with the beer, and the "sour" base is not sour. It's hardly even tart. If you're a true sour beer lover, you'll be disappointed. If you're a fruit beer lover, you might be all right. As for the sours, I tried Moana Mustard, Grandma Fingers: Cherry Dump Cake, What the Fluff, and Enough to Feed the Needy. What the Fluff was actually slightly pulpy - which was a nice change - and somewhat similar to The Gadget from Urban Artifact. Moana had lots of pineapple, but still just OK. With Cherry Dump, I could taste the cake, but it was lacking overall. Enough to Feed the Needy was just straight-up overly sweet and lacked in tartness until the very end where you finally got a bit of the PB&J flavor rather than straight, overly-sweetened grape juice. Overall, two stars is all I can muster. I did not try their IPAs as I'm not an IPA fan, but maybe that's their redeeming quality. All of the beers were thicker than normal and excessively sweet when compared to others producing the same types of beer (I understand, an imperial/pastry stout and sour will be thicker, but a hef as well?). The flights were also very expensive - 3x stouts and 1x hefe was $20 while 4x "sours" were $16. If they were good, I wouldn't have minded; however, we only finished two out of eight of our pours. I'd give it another try with some big changes in brewing. read more

I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed Arkane yet. It's one of my top, if not my favorite breweries in Florida. I live in Orlando and anytime I'm in the vicinity I make sure to work a stop at Arkane into my plans. They always have a huge tap list with great variety for all types of beer lovers. I love their sours but I also love their IPAs and dark beers! I had a beer there two years ago and I still think about it! It was called Pucker Up Buttercup and it was a peanut butter dark sour. I believe my Untappd check in for this beer said "I want to bathe in this beer". The brewery is in an unassuming plaza with Winn Dixie on the opposite end, it's closer to the sports bar that used to be named Mugs n' Jugs which I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little sad they changed the name because it's hilarious but I digress. Back to the beer! There is something for everyone there, they have a series called Grandmas Fingers which is all beers with a cake/pastry/dessert theme. I just picked up the Carrot Cake one for a bottle share and in the past some of my favorite have been the coconut cream pie and brazo gitano. They do some really fun beers for halloween and they do Peeps beers too! I'm so happy that they are distributing now so I can at least get some stuff from them in Orlando. If you are a beer lover you MUST do yourself a favor and check out Arkane. You'll be mad at yourself for not going sooner once you finally visit! read more

Arkane Aleworks - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

Arkane is a sour brewery with a cult following. I live ten minutes away from The Veil Brewing in Virginia, for reference, so I understand the hype. In both cases, it's for good reason. They're putting out super cool sours. In most instances, the funky ingredients seem to work. There were a couple I tried that I thought were pretty average (ecto-cooler, which is green, comes to mind first), but most were creative and fun. What the Fluff was my favorite of the day, and Out of Season, a black currant with marshmallows, was a stunner. I really didn't think I'd enjoy it since usually I can't stand the smell of black currants. But I guess I just like marshmallow beers..? My first taste of the brewery was just about a year ago, when my friend brought her Unicorn Blood bottle to share with me in Richmond. That one is delicious! It only comes out one day per year and it's definitely worth hopping in line to snag a bottle if you can. I was in Tampa earlier this month for beer week and visited Arkane the day they released the Yoda Pants. I tried it on tap and thought it was okay, pretty good, but I wasn't willing to wait in the long line wrapping around the strip mall for it. I did grab a bottle of the Grandma Fingers pineapple upside down cake. Looking forward to it! The brewery itself is no frills, small, rustic, with wood finishes. The draft ordering line could've been a bit more structured (*points to Veil as my prime example again*) but otherwise it was a positive experience. I appreciated the benches outside. Arkane's reach was witnessed again on Huna Day later in the week. They had some of the longest lines at the festival. I'm sure if I visit Tampa again, Arkane will be on the rotation. read more

First time visiting - Arkane is located in a strip mall next to a gym and a Winn Dixie. Bartender was great in serving us the flights and pour of the BA stout; was able to snag a few 4packs too. Overall good experience and I would go back due to the amount of beer options they have, including; IPAs, Stouts, and Sours. I really liked the Carrot Cake Sour and the Watermelon Pop - literally jolly rancher. I'm not the biggest IPA drinker, but their IPA options were pretty good from West Coast to East Coast (NEIPA) options. I can definitely drink a few hazy/juicy ipas but that's it. West Coast is too piney for me. No food options. Wish they had something small to munch on, even if just popcorn or chips - unless I completely overlooked that when I was staring down the beer wall. If you are in the area, go check them out. Great options and plenty of room to sit and chat. read more

This is a wonderful brewery! They have many of their own beer on tap, 16 to 20 ranging from any style you could think of. They do specialize in Sours but their ipas and dark beers are also fantastic. They have a large tasting room with a large L shaped bar that fills the space. They have tables and an outdoor patio area. You can see their beer being fermented as well and they have a large projection TV for special events or sports. You can order a pint or get a flight of 4 to try. The bartender was great about letting me try anything also. I had the flight of Tricerahops, Hopsterical, (ipas) Java the Whutt? and Irate recliner. Arkane had no beers that I didn't like! They were all wonderful and true to the style. Friendly and knowledgeable beertenders. Great place for a flight or a pint. They also have food trucks in the evenings. Their Facebook page has all their upcoming events. read more

I'm not a huge beer drinker but Arkane changes that for me. Their sours are my favorite. I've honestly haven't had beer as good as theirs. I live in St. Pete so unfortunately I don't make it over here much but when I'm in the mood for a cold beer, they're worth the drive! read more

Arkane Aleworks - Easter beers?! Lovely marshmallow sours with great fruit pairing. - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

First time here and I this place rocks. Literally! I knew I picked a great spot for date night when we walked in and the music playing was rock music from early 2000s (the classic high school soundtracks!). The atmosphere was welcoming and I'll say beautiful because I love walking into breweries and seeing barrels on display! Bonus points when I found out that they were A) all filled and making beer babies B) some of the barrels were from distilleries I know personally! Barrels that names like Willet, Winford Reserve, etc. very cool! I picked this spot primarily because the Mrs. loves sours and they had a solid menu for them. She loved her flight! The cherry cheesecake sour tasted exactly as labeled! Thumbprint cookie, in liquid form (maybe it's better form?)! I had the DIPA which was delicious. Out back was a food truck which I was informed rotates everyday they are open! Staff behind the bar was nice, welcoming and easy to talk to and ask questions! We will be back for sure! read more

Amazing beer. I am an absolute fan of cloudy east coast IPA's and this place had the best on eI have EVER had. A bit on the pricier side - compared to other are breweries (10oz for the 7% IPA was $6) - I assumed it would be a pint at that price - BUT I'd pay that much again, it was THAT delicious! Staff is super nice and friendly - as was the clientele. They have food trucks on certain days of the week. Well earned 5 starts. Its 30 minutes from our house - but we will be back! read more

Arkane Aleworks - Arkane Aleworks sampler - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

Arkane was the most recent stop on my ever continuing adventure to try all the breweries in the area. If not for Yelp, I'd never have known about this spot. It's hidden in the Winn Dixie/Mugs plaza on Starkey and East Bay. When I arrived it was the busiest I have ever seen a brewery on a Monday afternoon. Tons of people hanging out inside. The service was quick and friendly. They seem to be known for their sour fruity beers here, so I decided to get a flight and try a few of each. I had some from each category: Hoppy - Do the damn tang Sour - pinkish lemonade and beetle juice Dark side - java coffee porter I've tried many of the breweries around town and my overall verdict is this one is not my fave. I'm not sure if it's what I chose to try or just the selections in general. The sour beers were too sour and fruity for me. The coffee porter literally tasted like coffee grounds. Normally I like coffee beers but this one was not beery enough for me. At the end I sampled the gimme swelter - a mango habanero which is their signature brew - and did quite enjoy that one. It's also worth nothing they are a bit pricier than the other places for flights - $12 for the sampler. On a positive note, they do have a food truck most days of the week and an outdoor "beer garden" area. I might try it again but would try different brews next time. read more

Arkane Aleworks - Breweries Near Me - Largo, Florida

See all

I really haven't reviewed this place?! It's my favorite brewery in town! Arkane Aleworks is brewing Some of the best beers around! I'd say they're known for their sours. But they also do great with stouts. Try a flight for yourself In case you have any doubts. I love the Gimme Swelter, A mango habanero florida weisse. They even brew a Peeps beer. Tho I don't think I'd order that twice. They recently had a Sour Fest And a slammin' anniversary party. It was perfect for trying new stuff Some were super sweet, others tarty. On my most recent visit, I found my new favorite beer. An amazing cantaloupe sour! I know, it sounds pretty weird. They've got a rotating list of food trucks. On Wednesdays, there's trivia w/ Brad. I love that they support local artists Just another thing that makes Arkane rad!! read more
