THE FLORIDA BREWERIES REPORT – MAY 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: There was a glitch in The Florida Breweries Report that exclude new breweries licensed in 2026. We’ve added them all to the report data now, and include the list here: Between Brewery (Panama City Beach); Charlie Foxtrot Brewing (Port Charlotte); Halpatter’s (Lake City); Tailored Bottling Solutions (Medley); Southern Swells Brewing Company (Jacksonville Beach); Cigar City Brewing (Tampa); Crooked Can Brewing Company (Minneola); Resurgence Brewing Company (Fort Myers); List Distillery (Fort Myers); Feather Oaks (Tallahassee); 3 Car Garage Brewing (Bradenton); Bad Bird Brewing (St. Augustine); Bruder Brewery & Kitchen (Oviedo); Props Brewery (Santa Rosa Beach).

Total Number of Breweries: In May 2026, the total number of active brewery licenses stood at 444. Of those, 372 reported taxpaid sales for the month, compared to 375 reporting in May 2025.

Monthly Performance for All Breweries: Month-to-month taxpaid sales were down by 8.73% in May 2026. Compared to May 2025, year-over-year change in monthly sales was down by 14.56%.
