Our Story
ABOUT US
Wynwood Brewing Co. is Miami’s first craft production brewery. Founded by Luis Brignoni and his father Luis “Pops” Brignoni Sr., Wynwood is deeply rooted in its founders’ Puerto Rican heritage and namesake neighborhood, the Wynwood Arts District. Our neighborhood is renowned as one of the most vibrant and artistic communities in the country and attracts artists and influencers from around the world.
Our beer draws inspiration from our family and place within Miami’s thriving local and international art scene. Our year-round portfolio includes flagship La Rubia Blonde Ale, a crisp and flavorful ale made for hot Miami weather, Laces IPA, Lock On, Father Francisco and Pop’s Porter, which won a Gold Medal at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival competition.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
We made our first beer at home, then we found our home in the Wynwood arts district. Just north of downtown Miami, in an area that was traditionally a garment district and a Puerto Rican neighborhood. After the garment factories left the area many of the warehouses were abandoned and littered with graffiti. These warehouses soon turned into outdoor canvasses and public art became the fabric of the neighborhood. Since then, we have witnessed our home become an international symbol of expression and culture. We are proud to call this is our spot, our people, our family.
We decided to come to Wynwood for several reasons. We are truly passionate about our craft, our beer, in the same way the artists in our neighborhood take pride in their work and the other artisans share this passion for their products. Every beer is brewed with love and passion to ultimately create a work of art in every glass. Most importantly this neighborhood felt like home. As a family, we were drawn to this area and wanted to help create jobs and support the community. We want each person that works for Wynwood Brewing, who shares a beer in our taproom or enjoys our beer at one of our fine retailers to feel like part of the family.
