THE FLORIDA BREWERIES REPORT – JANUARY 2026

The Data: The Florida Breweries Report reflects data published by the Florida ABT, which is available online here, as of the date of publication. The ABT monthly publishes the taxpaid sales for each brewery and distributor. Unfortunately, the ABT does not publish breweries’ sales to distributors. This means that the Florida Breweries Report reflects only breweries’ taxpaid sales, which are generally made in its taproom. Each October, breweries with lapsed licenses and no taxpaid sales within the past 12 months are purged from the Florida Breweries Report. 

The New Breweries: Bouy Brewing at Half Shell Dockside (Apalachicola); Burned Beard Brewing (Quincy); Orchid Island Brewery (Vero Beach).

Brewery Conversions: None. Breweries with a CMB license can sell to licensed distributors. Where a brewery changes its license, the tables below denote the CMBP license with * and the CMB license with ^.

Total Number of Breweries: In January 2026, the total number of active brewery licenses stood at 431. Of those, 360 reported taxpaid sales for the month, compared to 382 reporting in January 2025. 

Monthly Performance for All Breweries: Month-to-month taxpaid sales was down by 7.90% in January 2026. Compared to January 2025, year-over-year change in monthly sales was down by 15.41%. Total taxpaid sales during the rolling last-twelve-months (LTM) was down by 1.30%. Compared to January 2026, LTM taxpaid sales were down by 9.25% in January 2026.

Average Monthly Production per Brewery: For reporting breweries, the average taxpaid sales per brewery in January 2026 was 20.17 barrels, a monthly decrease of 1.91 barrels per brewery. Year-over-year change in monthly sales per brewery was down by 10.24% in January 2026.
