6 Best Craft Breweries near Gainesville

“Just had a reunion meetup at Swamp Head Brewery and it was great! Nick Dunn was great in communication and reserving space for us. Staff was amazing and the indoor/outdoor option worked for everyone!!!!“

“We stopped in for a quick visit and loved this brewery! The custom beer flights were such a fun touch, and every beer we tried was really good and super yummy. Free parking was a huge plus, and the Christmas vendors outside made the stop feel extra festive.

Inside, we were really impressed with the holiday decor — it was cozy and perfectly done. The staff was very nice and welcoming, even though it was clearly busy. Our teenager ordered mozzarella sticks that were almost forgotten, but they were slammed so we totally understood and didn’t hold it against them at all.

Overall, a great quick stop with great vibes, great beer, and friendly service. We’d definitely come back!“

“We love First Mag! Best brew, best crew 🙌“

“Great place! Great Staff! Great beer!“

“Atmosphere was great bartenders and servers or wonderful or only complaint is my husband ordered a wedge salad and the entire core of the head of lettuce was on his plate and in my salad the romaine still had the stock portion so it made my salad bitter I had to go through and cut it all up before I could eat it they need to clean their lettuce better before serving it. Leaving that on the plate makes the salad bitter and uninviting.“

“Awesome atmosphere for the family with some amazing brews. Some of the best ipa’s I’ve had from any breweries in the southeast! Forsure going to be a stop whenever we’re in the area🍻“
