I didn't eat or get any drinks, but I found the vibe here to be fun. There was a band playing called "Funpipe" and the singers did so well they could've been the real vocalists for the songs they were covering. read more

I stopped in here the other day and it was just ok. The food menu is still good as well as the atmosphere. There just ran out of their Staple beer, which shows how good their beer is. On the other hand; they still had a good variety to choose from and I found one to suit my mood at the time. There was a solid artist playing music to entertain the crowd as well. I did not fill a growler this time, but I'll be back when the next batch is ready :) read more

Let's start by saying that Connor was an awesome bartender, he offered us samples and great recommendations. The brewery itself was a fair size and open, but looked like other breweries minus a white board that an employee had some great dry erase art work on. The pours were delicious and I believe they did have some food on offer, but we just got drinks while we were there. I do recommend this if you enjoy breweries and are in the cocoa area. read more

FUN FACT: Brevard County, which is affectionately called the Space Coast of Florida, currently has nine breweries/distilleries throughout the county. Historic Cocoa Village, the iconic downtown area of Cocoa, FL, currently has two breweries. The one that seems to be the biggest to me, well in terms of social activity, is Bugnutty Brewing Company. Located just west of the primary streets of Historic Cocoa Village, Bugnutty Brewing Company (which I will shorthand simply to Bugnutty for the remainder of this interview) looks like the loading dock for their casks when observed westward from Brevard Ave. When I first entered, there was a door that wasn't exactly marked as the entrance, but I assumed it would be the entrance you'd go through for patrons. My friend Chops, however, went through the open garage door. Ergo, it is like stepping into a warehouse, a highly-decorated, A/C-ed warehouse. Upon entering, there is a seating area for dining up front. Further west, there is an area that is clearly a makeshift stage for local acts. On the southside of the "patron space" is the bar. Chops, Patrick, and I sat at one of the tables and ordered brews. I also ordered food, too. This is where Bugnutty is kind of, well... just a-okay. First and foremost, I tried a number of their brews via a flight. There is something kind of off when the highest-rated brew is thier non-alcoholic root beer. As a matter of fact, their in-house root beer is even the highest-rated brew Bugnutty has on Untappd. As for the food, I am not impressed. I have to always try the grilled cheese sandwich. Grilled cheeses is usually a simple thing and that is what I got. However, given the price, not worth the purchase. Ultimately, Bugnutty is a-okay. Not exactly top tier among the nine breweries in Brevard, but still a good place to hang out, especially when someone cool is performing on a Friday or Saturday night. However, if I were to get drinks and a better selection of food (maybe because they also have a food truck tag team with them like Intracoastal does), I would take the quick stroll to The Dirty Oar Brewing Company, the other brewery in Historic Cocoa Village. __________ SPECIAL NOTE: Bugnutty Brewing Company is both a verified location on Untappd and one of the breweries/distelleries patrons must visit and check in on the Space Coast Launches & Lagers II Tour. Complete the tour and you'll get either a special sticker or patch. read more

This is one of our local breweries, located in Cocoa Vilage. This brewery is pretty unexpectedly big inside with lots of seating and a open floor plan great for live music on their stage adjacent to the bar. On a nice cool day similar to the one on our visit they open the garage door and let cool air flow in. The bar staff are very friendly and really helpful. They have a large variety of beer on tap and they will let you try different beers on tap. I am a cider/wine girl and they even had options for me. My friend and husband really enjoyed their beers.! They have the coolest flights. We also got some wings and tater tots to share while my son was having fun with a game from their shelf of various games. We can't wait to come back here during live music and try some more freshly brewed beers. read more

Good beer, great food, Nice ambiance, friendly staff, easy parking, great location. Love the place!!!

I was excited to try it here due to the fun name but was pretty underwhelmed... a few tables and bar seating available. Bar was maybe 1/3 full and two tables were taken? Bartender seemed friendly enough but overwhelmed. Empty glasses everywhere and he seemed to be having to cook along with serve beer so wait time was a bit hefty. Ordered a sampler of beer and some tator tots with bacon and cheese. Food was good, no complaints. Our friends ordered a pretzel which came split into a few pieces so they couldn't display on a stand like normal. Sadly, I could not find a beer I liked here. I tried the black IPA's, a regular IPA, there was an apple pie blonde? And a smoky ale (not good). I love beer overall and I was not impressed so we left because sadly it just wasn't that great. read more

Beer was good, but they do not serve food on Tuesday. My wife does not drink beer, so we left. It was Tuesday.

Received a gift card as a gift for Bugnutty. It had been recommended by our neighbor as one of their favorite breweries in the area. Came on a weekday afternoon, so inside was relatively quiet. Bugnutty had a long list of beers on tap and a small menu of food that consisted of small sides, sandwiches and other food to accompany the beers. The beers themselves were varied and I really appreciated that. I was able to make myself a stout/dark beer sampler and my wife one of all IPAs. There was a small stage and that day there was no live music but I could see it being fun to beer here as well on a different night. Overall, I definitely recommend! read more

They have a traditional warehouse style brewery. Lots of space. I sampled many beers and didn't taste one I didn't like. My favorite was the vanilla Irish red on nitro. We also got street corn nachos that were delicious!!! My son had lots of space to play with trucks out of the way of others. I look forward to going back! read more

Bugnutty Brewing Company - Street corn nachos and Red Wheat and Blue - Breweries Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

I'm just going to say that I don't make it to Cocoa often. In fact, prior to visiting Bugnutty, I'd never been. The brewery is located near the cool little Cocoa Village area, with ample parking. It's always a plus when a brewery makes it really easy to stop in for a beer - it makes me want to go more often. Inside, it's a fairly typical Florida brewery-fashioned-from-a-warehouse setup - seating area and bar partitioned off from the brewing equipment. Laid back, simple and effective. The guys working behind the bar are cool. One of those places you go to kick back and relax with no pretense. I only had time to hit one Cocoa brewery, and I chose this one because it had a fairly interesting tap list, good selection of various styles. This meant a flight was in order. A flight here is $15 for 6 decent 4 ounce pours, and is the obvious way to try a bunch of beers you want to try without staggering out of the brewery drunk. Speaking of the beers, I had just been thinking of the Black IPA/"Cascadian Dark" style, and how it was very popular around 2007-11 or so, with old classics like Stone's Sublimely Self-Righteous, and Southern Tier's Iniquity, but really faded into obscurity after that. So, I was stoked to walk into this brewery and see that they had one on tap. That was part of my flight for sure. It's called Dark Matter. And it's good. I also loved Oatdis the Elder, an oatmeal stout with a nice smooth feel like any well-done oatmeal stout. Having been full from breakfast, I didn't eat, but they do have a pub menu here, and I have to admit, the baked brie topped with a blueberry-Oatdis beer compote looked very, very tempting. That'll have to wait until I can make it back! read more

I generally am inclined to give as high of a review as I can and sadly for Bugnutty - this is the best I could do. We came in mid-afternoon on a Saturday and they were moderately busy, but not packed. We sat at the bar and looked over the menu and the server (there was only one working when we got there) came over and I told him we'd like to try a flight. He went back and got a flight card and we filled it out and waited and waited and waited. If it wasn't for our server helping several (not just one or 2) people that came in after us I probably wouldn't have been as irritated. He seemed kind of like he either was unaware or possibly he didn't care. We did not order food, but another major knock against what we observed was the same server went from handling cash to handling food that was ordered by someone else without washing his hands or outing on gloves. If we weren't seated directly in front of their kitchen area - we likely wouldn't have noticed. I guess that's a knock against sitting where you can view that. I think I was disappointed because it seems like a cool place. They have dart boards, board games and seem family oriented. A couple of their beers were fantastic and others just average. I felt like it could have been a much better experience than it was and perhaps we caught them on a bad night...it happens. read more

I can't review the beer because I don't drink beer but the band DayTripper was there and it was so fun!! This is the best Beatles cover band I've heard in a long time. We are so lucky to have them locally. Very cool place! It must have been a factory and the renovation is very hip. When they have DayTripper is back, we'll be there for sure. We didn't eat either, but we saw some food being delivered to tables around us and it looked really good so next time. read more

Cute little brewery. It's off the beaten path but still easy to find. The bartender was fantastic. He was quick with a suggestion and a sample.

Fun little tap room with good beer and a friendly staff. A great addition to the several breweries in the area.

I've driven past this location quite a few times and the reviews were great so we decided to make the drive for date night. We had checked out the menu before and upon arrival and made decisions. To order you go up to the bar, my husband did and came back with our drinks and a different, very limited menu. We made our choices and he went to reorder, a soft pretzel, and 2 slider baskets. We watched multiple pretzels delivered, our slider baskets came but not the pretzel, after asking about it it finally arrived and did not disappoint. Of the 2 slider baskets we both preferred the house made roast beef better. The drinks, red sangria for me and beer for my husband, were both very good. The live music was great but the atmosphere felt like we were outsiders among a group of locals. I can see a lot of potential for this business but for now I am a bit underwhelmed. I'm sure we will try again some time but it might be a while. read more

My husband and I are always on the look for new breweries with delicious beers. I really liked that they allowed dogs inside and the staff came right to our table and answered any questions we had. They even brought our dog a bow of water! I liked the vanilla wit beer - more for dessert but pleasant! read more

I'm a non-drinker, yet I continue to review breweries!! That's because my friend, the super-lush, drags me to them whenever we travel. I will review this one best I can, and give my friend's opinion about the beer. This place is in a strip mall, you really have to look for it because it doesn't stand out from the street. It's has a big parking lot with plenty of free parking right in front. You go in and the place is super-clean and inviting. It has a bit of an industrial vibe and a lot of art on the walls. Very nice space with regular tables and a lot of high-top tables, as well as a big bar area. The bartender, she was very nice - explained everything to my friend - very accommodating. My friend got a flight of 6. My friend has never met a craft beer she didn't like. She found the flight of 6 a tad on the pricey side, but just a tad. I will rate what she said about the 6 she got, in order of which one she liked the least: (And, when I say "didn't like" that doesn't mean she didn't drink them - it just means not her favorite - she drank every last drop!) # 6: Smash 2017 - Didn't much like. Didn't care for the "smoky" flavor. # 5: Hoglick Holler India Brown Ale - Tart. Too "IPA" for her; but, she's not a fan of IPA. # 4: Dark Matter Black IPA Nitro - Liked it. Heavy. Chocolatty. Slightly bitter. # 3: Foxy Brown Coconut Ale - Liked it. Could taste the coconut. # 2: The Nutty Idiot. Liked it a lot. Nice caramel flavor. Nutty. This one was almost # 1. Drum roll.... and the # 1 spot goes to ... Suzi's Red Belly Ale - Liked it very much. Not too heavy, very good. In fact, SO good that she got a big ole jug to take home!! I may not be qualified to rate this place being that I don't drink. But, I appreciate a friendly place with good music playing, and just a space to sit and relax. read more

Bugnutty Brewing - Merritt Island - 1.0-Star "Make a customer, not a sale."-Barchetti This is my 325th restaurant visited since October 2017. While the food at Bugnutty Brewing is not Swill, and the atmosphere is above average, what this restaurant lacks is an owner who cares and service staff who can conform their behavior at least to the absolute lowest passable standards of quality available. Last month we gave the BBDO awards for best server. All of the people who made the list were appreciative. What I did not do is want to re-hash all of the bad service I have encountered and continue to embarrass people who may have had an off day or just were not possessed of the even the smallest intellect to perform this sometimes difficult task of waiter or waitress. Which brings me to Matthew, our bartender/server at Bugnutty. Matthew is possessed of above average intelligence because I could hear him confidently engage the owner in witty back-and-forth banter as he expertly ignored all 3 customers and me on this football Sunday with big screen televisions. Once he decided to pull himself away from the owner he did not move, he just stood up 10 feet away and yelled across the bar for our order. No "welcome," "do you have any questions," or "are you interested in food?" came from his mouth. I could feel my eyelids flutter as I was trying to mentally process what was going on. So, I asked him who the guy is at the end of the bar, to which he responded that he was the owner. Like hitting the jackpot at a Las Vegas slot machine, it all became obvious: the owner could care less about what was going on around him. Customers be damned, I am going to talk to the bartender and set a horrendous example of unadulterated laziness. Normally, I would say something in an attempt to get to the bottom of the service issues but the owner was obviously intoxicated and being belligerent. I screamed across the bar over the blaring music and television sets if I could see the beer list and a food menu. The hilarious part was AFTER I said that, the other two customers made the same requests. This made me wonder how long these two guys had been sitting there intimidated by lazy Matt and the drunk owner. From where we were sitting you could see directly into the storeroom. I observed multiple fermentation tanks and 50-plus bags of hops and barley. My spirits started to rise. I ordered a flight of six beers. I could give you the list of all of them and their note levels, but it is retrospectively unnecessary because they all tasted the same and all had a metal/tin aftertaste. There is apparently zero regulation of home-brew restaurants because this was the most foul tasting beer I have ever consumed. Moving on to the food, the menu is dominated by sandwich entrees and chicken wings. Also, sitting lonely atop the limited selections, was hummus. Being of middle eastern descent, my interest piqued when Matt belabored the point that it is even made by the owner's wife. Hmmmmm, okay. I ordered one of the many sandwich offerings and was told the equipment was broken, effectively eliminating half or more of their menu options. I asked how long the equipment had been broken and got a shoulder shrug. Plan B then - hummus and chicken wings it is, garlic style. The alleged hummus was not, in fact, hummus at all. There was no tahini in it nor was there any lemon or garlic. I could not discern what, in fact, I actually consumed. Riding a fast train to a Swill Alert, the owner got up to bake our chicken wings. Yes, BAKE them. They arrived slathered in garlic sauce that was actually not bad, thus barely saving them from a Swill Alert. Still, the rest of this dump is horrid. The Big Boy says, avoid Bugnutty at all costs. It's horrifically unpleasant, and they don't seem to care. #BigBoyDiningOut #IAmTheBigBoy read more
