The Tap List

Beers Worth Waiting For

Every batch is brewed in-house with locally sourced ingredients. No two pints taste exactly alike — and that's the point.

Swamp Head IPA — golden amber beer in a tasting glass

Hoppy River IPA

IPA

Citrus-forward with a piney finish. Our flagship IPA pours a brilliant gold and hits hard without losing balance.

6.8% ABV IBU 65 Draft & Can
Swamp Head Lager — crisp golden beer

Swamp Head Lager

Lager

Clean, crisp, and dangerously drinkable. A German-style pilsner that captures the ease of a Florida afternoon.

4.9% ABV IBU 28 Draft & Can
Swamp Head Stout — dark rich beer

Black Swamp Stout

Dark as the swamp at midnight. Rich chocolate and coffee notes with a velvety smooth finish that lingers.

5.5% ABV IBU 35 Draft & Can
Swamp Head Wheat — hazy pale beer

Gator Bait Wheat

Light, refreshing, and subtly spiced. A wheat beer that's made for warm days and cooler company.

Swamp Head Porter — deep copper beer

Named for the vast wetland to our north. Medium-bodied with toasted malt and a whisper of smoke.

Our Story

From a swamp to a
state reputation.

Swamp Head Brewery started with a simple idea: brew beer that tastes like Florida — bold, unpretentious, and made with real ingredients. No shortcuts. No mass-production compromises.

Since 2008, we've been brewing in Gainesville, just minutes from the Santa Fe River that gives us our name and our inspiration. What began as a two-barrel system is now a full-scale production facility, but the approach hasn't changed — every batch is still a small one.

Our beers have earned medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup, but the recognition we value most is the regulars who show up week after week, glass in hand, telling a friend to come check us out.

More Than a Brewery

A place to gather, listen, and unwind. The taproom is our living room — come as you are.

Local bands, solo artists, and open mic nights. Our stage is small, the sound is good, and the crowd is always friendly. Check our socials for the weekly lineup.
