Woodwright Brewing Company

In my humble opinion, this is the best brewery in the whole of the Tampa Bay area! (and yes, I've been to Cigar City, 3 Daughters, Coppertail, Big Storm, TBBC, and about 40 others). From top to bottom, Woodwright is 5 stars. The brewery itself it set in a wood-working shop with a small upstairs seating area and a long bar top that is typically full of patrons. The bartenders are friendly and playful and the selection of ales is perfect. Woodwright has the best Red Ale I've ever tasted, and I am a huge fan of their strong golden and dark belgian. There is an extensive outdoor seating area complete with a fire pit, a dozen lit Christmas trees over the holiday season, and a bluegrass band on Thursday night. There is also a built in food truck with some really delicious grub. Only drawback is that children are not allowed anywhere on the premises, even outside listening to the music.

Such a great brewery in Dunedin--dog-friendly, too! We stopped by on a Sunday and were treated to live music, which made the vibe even better. They have an awesome selection of beers, and the food was absolutely delicious. The outdoor decor adds so much character to the place, making it the perfect spot to relax. Can't wait to come back!What I ordered:- Bavarian Pretzel: Beer Cheese & Beer Mustard- Buffalo Wings- Wurst Dog: Local Made Wurst, Curry Ketchup, Beer Mustard, Kraut, Bun, w/Fries- Kaspaetzel: German Mac & Cheese, Spaetzle Dumpling, Onion, Beer Cheese

I'm a sucker for Hefeweizen and this place didn't disappoint not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. The outdoor area is incredible and you forget for a minute that you're right next to the Gulf of America. This place is one of my favorites in Dunedin

Cozy brewery with woodworking aesthetic. We've hosted a birthday on the second floor years ago. They've got an eatery on site--a sort of food truck type deal. The line was crazy long during the holidays but that's expected. Lovely service, chill customers, dogs everywhere but they make it clear no children or minors allowed which is a downside for me (I have children) but I understand. I simply love the vibes in the winter when they deck it out with lit trees and bonfire.

I'm always a fan of this brewery! Good food, good drinks and dog friendly! Any place that allows me and my dog to come to is a winning place to me! Their staff are great, quick to recommend a beer based on your likes. I love their outdoor decor! Feels like you're in a Christmas village!

Delicious brews and wonderful staff. Woodwright is my favorite brewery in Dunedin, and we have quite a few to choose from. I have gone quite a few times on Sundays after a bike ride. I love the entertainment and just the vibe of the place. Of note, if you are hungry. They don't serve food but there is an outdoor food truck. Options are limited, but enough to tide one over and enjoy some delicious brews.

Everything is good here, food, service, beer and friendly atmosphere. Makes me feel like family when I'm there!

A cute brewery nestled in quaint Dunedin. Love the array of beers. I crave the hefe often! Awesome indoor and outdoor venue.

My favorite brewery in Dunedin. Their outdoor space is the best. They have beers from other local breweries too. We had the German pretzels which were large and delicious.

I have never had dinner at woodwright, so I can't tell you how the food is. As for the beer, I would rank them the third best lager bier brewers within a reasonable distance of the Tampa Bay area (Barriehaus, Tampa, and Tidal, Brooksville, are the other two, in order). Let's talk a little bit about the place. Woodwright started as a woodworker's shop, thus the name. Today, it is still, but would only be a woodworkers shop if his wife never stated her desire to brew beer. Viola.One thing that should be noted here is, while the place is family friendly, the irresponsible parents that normally let their kids run amok should keep their eyes open to avoid having a kid head back into the wood shop. No, it is not super dangerous, but my God man, don't let your kids be a nuissance (btw, I think this should apply to all breweries and will call you a jerkwad poopy face behind your back if you do it elsewhere. You have been warned. LOL)The owner was behind the bar with the bartender when I went in, so I got ample time to talk about the brews. Very traditional German and I am sure they adhere to the German purity law (i.e., beer is made of water, malt, hops, and yeast only). Very tasty beer flavored beer. As a bonus, you can get a hotel here and visit 6 other breweries without treking out.
