Due South Brewing (Boynton Beach): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:09, 12 May 2026

Due South Brewing sits at 316 NE 19th Avenue in Boynton Beach, Florida. It's a production brewery and taproom known for its diverse craft beers and strong community ties. The location puts it squarely in Palm Beach County, roughly midway between West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, making it a destination for both local residents and visitors looking for craft beer in South Florida.

History

Mike and Josie Doble founded Due South Brewing Co. in 2012 with a clear mission: build a craft brewery rooted in the South Florida community. The Dobles started small, but Due South quickly gained regional recognition for its commitment to quality and its range of approachable yet inventive beer styles. What set them apart was not just the beer quality. They wanted to create a welcoming space where enthusiasts at all levels felt comfortable walking through the door. Early on, the brewery focused on local distribution, placing its beers in bars and restaurants throughout Palm Beach County and beyond.^[1]^[2]

As demand grew, the brewery expanded its production capacity and taproom. Seasonal releases and limited-edition brews gave customers reasons to return regularly. The brewery has also made environmentally responsible practices a core part of its operations, working to reduce waste and minimize its environmental footprint. Due South's growth reflects the broader craft beer expansion in Florida, which saw substantial consumer interest throughout the 2010s and into the early 2020s. The Brewers Association's 2023 annual industry report ranks Florida consistently among the top states for craft brewery growth, with independently owned operations like Due South central to that trend.^[3] Not every South Florida brewery has survived that period. Several operations have closed in recent years as costs rose and competition intensified, making Due South's sustained presence in Boynton Beach a meaningful achievement for an independently owned operation.

Geography

Boynton Beach lies approximately 15 miles south of West Palm Beach and roughly 12 miles north of Boca Raton. Due South sits right in that mix, where residential neighborhoods blend into commercial and light industrial zones. The brewery's address reflects that character.

The physical footprint includes a production facility, a spacious taproom, and outdoor seating areas suited to South Florida's warm climate. Light industrial and commercial properties dominate the surrounding corridor west of U.S. Route 1. Interstate 95 runs nearby, providing direct access from communities throughout Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. That location benefits both production logistics and visitor access. South Florida's heat and humidity create real challenges for brewing, and temperature control throughout production requires constant attention.^[4]

Beers

The brewery produces year-round and seasonal beers spanning multiple styles. Its lineup includes approachable offerings designed for the South Florida palate: light ales and wheat beers suited to the region's hot climate, alongside heavier options including IPAs, stouts, and barrel-aged releases. Flagship beers anchor the year-round portfolio, while seasonal and limited-edition brews appear periodically throughout the year, often tied to the brewery's event calendar or local collaborations. Distribution spans Florida's major markets, with select distribution reaching other states as well.^[5]

Boynton Beach has developed into a notable destination within South Florida's craft beer landscape, with Due South joined by other breweries helping to establish the city's reputation in that space. The Florida Brewers Guild, which represents independently owned craft breweries across the state, includes Due South among its member operations.^[6]

Culture

The taproom functions as a genuine gathering space for a wide cross-section of the local community. Due South regularly hosts live music performances, food truck rallies, and beer release parties. These aren't purely marketing moves. Community groups have made the taproom their own, from knitting circles to crafting meetups, reflecting the brewery's role as a neighborhood anchor in Boynton Beach.^[7]^[8]

Community involvement extends beyond the taproom itself. The brewery partners with local non-profit organizations on charitable initiatives and fundraising efforts, and prioritizes locally sourced ingredients where possible, supporting other Palm Beach County businesses in the process. Its branding draws directly on South Florida imagery and the coastal lifestyle that defines the region, creating an identity that resonates with both longtime residents and newcomers. The taproom's design reflects those sustainability values and its connection to local craft culture.^[9]

Economy

Due South Brewing contributes to the local economy in concrete ways. The brewery creates jobs for brewers, taproom staff, sales representatives, and administrative personnel, and its operations drive economic activity in related sectors including packaging, transportation, and hospitality. As a destination business, it draws visitors to Boynton Beach who spend money at nearby hotels, restaurants, and shops.^[10]

Florida's craft brewing sector has grown substantially over the past two decades. Due South has maintained product quality, expanded its distribution, and adapted to shifting consumer preferences through that period. That's kept the brewery economically viable in a competitive and sometimes volatile market. Its distribution reaches bars, restaurants, and retailers across Florida and select other markets, extending its economic reach well beyond taproom sales alone.

Attractions

Due South Brewing draws visitors on its own, but its Boynton Beach location offers plenty more. The Atlantic coastline is minutes away, offering beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Downtown Boynton Beach includes parks, recreational facilities, shops, restaurants, and cultural venues.^[11]

Venture a bit further and the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, and the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach are all within reasonable driving distance. The brewery has collaborated with other local businesses on promotions and package offerings designed to encourage visitors to explore the surrounding region more thoroughly.

Getting There

Drivers can reach Due South via Interstate 95 at the Boynton Beach Boulevard interchange, or along State Road A1A on the coast. On-site parking is available. Palm Tran bus service operates routes throughout Boynton Beach and connecting communities, and ride-sharing services serve the area as well.^[12]

Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) sits approximately 15 miles north. Visitors arriving by air can reach the brewery by rental car, taxi, or ride-sharing service. Current hours and directions are available on the brewery's official website.
