    Ventanita Vibes, a guava sour.
    Alden C.

    J Wakefield Brewing was on my " to try" list for a while and so very glad I got to try them recently. The beer I had was a fruited Berliner Weisse with a sour dominance. Between the sweet and tartness, guava flavor made itself known. Fairly well balanced beer. Perhaps a bit too sweet but it is fleeting as the sour (tartness) kicks in to curb from getting too much of a sugar kick. A fairly well made beer. Ventanita Vibes was the name of this beer.

    I love this place! My friend and I always call it the Star Wars bar because they have a whole wall-length Star Wars painting. They also have Marvel images inside too. They have a lot of cool beers on the menu. I like sweeter beers, and my favorites are the Tally Me Banana and La Nada.

    Always my go to beer spot in Wynwood ! J Wakefield is a star wars/ comic book themed brewery decked out with fully painted walls inside and out. The decor is awesome and holds true to the theme. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also serve beers on tap and to go. J Wakefield always has nice beers on tap that can satisfy anyone's palate. If you get lucky they may have a fresh release of some of their epic barrel aged stouts such as "big poppa", "it was all a dream", and even the barrel aged coquito stout I had a chance to try. Ohh and they are also known for their sours, especially Miami Madness and DFPF which also made a list of best beers in the US. If you're concerned about food, they usually have a pop-up cooking up something nice out front of the brewery. I was lucky enough to go on a night they had the Wolf of Tacos. He was crafting up fire tacos! But Teds burgers and are you hungry grill also frequent the spot ! Come over to J Wakefield and have a brew ! Cheers !

    A brewery with diverse and interesting styles, AND with a heavy and detail-oriented Star Wars-themed décor... sign me up, I thought. And boy, am I glad I paid a visit. Most importantly the beers are on point--the El Jefe was an incredible standout, a wheat ale with a hint of coconut that is noticeable but not overpowering, it felt like something I would love in any situation, but also felt very specifically Miami-an (not that I have much concept of what that means). You can get pints or a flight or even just a small pour of whatever they have on tap, which enabled me to sample quite a few (some might say too many) of their beers, including some of their incredibly tasty, incredibly strong barrel-aged stouts. I sat at the bar, where the bartender (I believe Robert) was fun and engaging and I believe I earned a buy back at the end of the night for my heavy patronage, which is always appreciated. I do wish they had some food--they had a food truck outside but it packed up kind of early, but other than that just fantastic. As mentioned, the décor is very Star Wars-themed, with some other comic/super hero motifs thrown in. I think anyone would feel welcome in this cool environment, but certainly a little something extra for the nerds. I loved sitting at the bar but on the way out realized that I missed out by not sitting at the large communal table that is a replica of Han Solo in carbonite. Also enjoyed the digital board behind the bar where I could see my Untapped check-ins in real time--not a bad way to make some virutal/social media friends enjoying beers at the bar with you. Cool and chill and with excellent beers, just one of my favorite spots I hit in Miami.

    Such a neat spot! We are in town for the weekend and this was the first place we grabbed a drink, and found ourselves liking it so much that we came back the next day to try revisit some of our favorites and try a few additional ones. Personally, I really enjoyed Punch It Chewie and Cooler Than a Taun Tauns toenail. The blue raspberry is SO unique and I have never tried any other beer like it! The BA Pecan stout was also delicious and a heavy hitter.

    Interior - fun and festive
    Alex M.

    It's been a year since I've been to J. Wakefield Brewing, and it's even better than I remembered! Friendly service, fun vibe inside (very much marvel and starwars, even festive for the holidays), and most importantly, a plethora of delicious and unique beers many of which fall under the stout or sour profiles). We ended up trying 7 beers in total (they can do 5oz tasters), with our favorites being the El Jeffe, the sour blue raspberry one (forgot the name), and the punch it juicy (Collab with Equilibrium Brewing). Do yourself a favor and stop by! You won't be disappointed. May even be back during this trip to try some more!

    Cool place for Star Wars fans! Tbd on food. Service is great and beer is pretty good

    The beers here are absolutely fantastic. I've come a few times to this brewery and honestly I'm always thrilled with them wide variety of brews they have available. This time was no different. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was full of people. People had come in to watch the UM game. Also there was a bbq going on outside with a DJ. The vibe was awesome. My husband was able to order and get his beer quickly. The only negative about this brewery is that you cannot sample their beers without paying. That means for $5 you have to get a small tasting. I can understand this since most of their beers have a high abv. Which means that most pours are in small goblets. The beers are well priced. There is plenty of seating especially for the size of the establishment. There are single bathrooms which were clean. The entire brewery is decorated in Star Wars and Marcel paraphernalia. The owner must be related to me (beer-Star Wars-Marvel). It's nice to come in just to take photos of the art and the place. The outside has seating as well with wall art everywhere. The beer I got was AMAZING. A strawberry blonde ale. So delicious. My husband got a Russian stout. Also very good. Def will be back and send people over here to get their beer on.

    I can't begin to express how dope this brewery is. I'm not a big beer person but I definitely love a sour. J Wakefield has more personality than your typical business. First off, the service blows you away when you first walk in. The friendly staff makes you feel right at home and will offer all the guidance and recommendations anyone could need. A friend and I opted for their flights. We did 4 5oz tastings each. We sat at the bar as we were poured each one and we're advised on the name and flavor. My personal faves: blueberry crumble and no days off. Every question was informatively answered, these people are no amateurs only pros here. In less than an hour we're having the time of lives enjoying the marvel artwork, sick music, and the diversity of drinks they offered. A big bonus is their weekly selection of food vendors. On Saturday and Sunday TED BURGERS the best burger in south Florida (pop up only) is available here. OKC double is a must. Made in Dade is right. Best of the best!

    We came to celebrate Father's Day...yup, my husband loves beer. We brought our 3 kids. I got a flight and James helped me pick them. Loved the El Jefe! We played Jenga, video games and my kids colored so much. They're very kid friendly.

    It's like a nerd cave. I can't even call it a man cave because it's inclusive for all nerds. After you get over all of the art inside and out try the beer. The ever rotating selection of beer has something for everyone. I wish that I could've taken some of the beer home. The people behind the bar were equally as great as the art. We sat and talked all night sharing art. We loved this place so much that we went twice while on vacay.

    Ben talked about this place obsessively so when we were down in the Miami area, I made sure we took the time to make a quick stop before the baseball game so he would finally shut up about it. LOL. The owners must have a serious thing for Star Wars as there was lots of paintings and items throughout the brewery, which is pretty normal from all the different breweries I have been to. The place was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table for two to enjoy the flight we ordered. Our premade flight, which was labelled "build your own flight" LOL had De Piña, Blueberries!, All Hail! and Ginger Yum-Yum. I also ordered a mead, Mjöd House Boysenberry, they had on the menu that could seriously kick your butt being that it is 18%! That is a one and done.

    Sours!  They don't do flights but they have small tasting options for 4 to 5 a pop
    Desiree D.

    Awesome staff and I love the selection of sour beers here. Great themed brewery throughout the whole place, star wars with a hint of superheroes. Reasonabk prices too. Downside is no flights but you can make your own. Each small tasting is 4 to 5 bucks. Cool and simple outdoor area to sit at. Enjoy the art.

    How realistic would it be to have some beers and watch a basketball game here at 6:00 on a Saturday? Are there ever TVs on with sports?

    When we were there it was early in the afternoon, but they had some sports on so would think if a game was on they would have it on the TV ( at least one of them) It's a great atmosphere so would definitely give it a try.

The La Rubia Blonde Ale is light, crisp, and easy to drink. There's an onsite food truck called Mad Burger, serving up tasty burgers and appetizers that pair perfectly with their beers. I tried their chicken tenders and they were very, very good! The beer lineup has a good mix of flavors that's easy to enjoy. There are light, refreshing beers, some hoppy or fruity beers with a bit more flavor, and a few sour or tangy beers. They have creative beer cocktails too. The Café Con Flan is a rich porter topped with creamy flan foam is as tasty as it is fun. The Manguito Mojito is a hazy IPA with citrusy aromas and hints of pineapple, mango, and peach. The Lulo Sour Slushy is served during the summertime, a sour ale blended like a slushy with bright tropical fruit flavor. My favorite has to be the 95 Expresso Martini made with Klir Red, Bustelo cold brew, a coffee porter reduction, and cacao chipotle bitters. It's rich, smooth, and coffee-forward with just the right hint of bitterness & spice. They host salsa nights, fútbol watch parties, trivia, and fun community events.

We told our host as much as we sat outside and asked him to add a table for some friends who were joining later. Even though a different group came, they left our two tables together and provided service with a smile even taking multiple group photos especially for a friend with very discerning photographic takes. They do have a food menu but we stuck to the classics: Prosecco, beer, tequila shots. Personally I enjoyed their Rum Old Fashioned. Yes, they customized it from bourbon to Rum for me. It was well blended with notes of citrus and aromatic bitters. Needless to say, most of the pictures taken were of us having fun and for the group chat and none of the drinks themselves. (Holding the fifth star to try the food). It's definitely a spot to check out for a good time in Wynwood.
