With a rebranded focus, St. Augustine Brewery Tours is now dedicated to providing the people with what they truly want – a perfect blend of history and brews. Amanda has a 5 year old daughter, 1 dog, and 2 cats, loves to be outdoors and travel, and is looking forward to showing tourists and locals alike was the bustling brew scene looks like in the nation’s oldest city.

Patrick Robinson

Tour Manager

Like many, Patrick is a transplant, having moved here from the Syracuse, NY area. He has a beautiful wife, Amy, and a son, Michael. He had visited many times before moving as his in-laws found St. Augustine when his brother-in-law played tennis for Flagler College. They decided to retire here, so they visited many times. A great passion for beer got him interested in home brewing. So when the highly rated grocery company that employed him went after a unique beer shopping experience, he was tagged for the job. He became a Certified Cicerone Beer Server which made him a beer expert. After moving here, he found himself working at Old Town Trolleys. This presented the unique opportunity to learn about the great history behind St. Augustine. Our company, St. Augustine Brewery Tours, will provide you with a glimpse of St. Augustine’s storied past as well as an opportunity to hear some interesting beer facts. I look forward to being of service to you.

Craft Cocktails in St. Augustine

Distillers have been creating spirits and "crafting cocktails" for centuries.

It's no secret - St. Augustinians loves to drink, and probably so do you. More recently, however, the town has been captivated by the desire to drink fancy beverages. It's called craft alcohol, and it's trending in St. Augustine just as much as everywhere else. In fact, St. Augustine may be able to claim pride of place when it comes to expertise with alcoholic concoctions. It's in our history - Pedro Menéndez brought a brewmaster with him when he arrived here in 1565 from Spain, and the town's namesake, St. Augustine of Hippo, is the patron saint of brewers.

Be it beer, wine, or spirits, locals and tourists alike are increasingly seeking handcrafted iterations of their preferred libations. Whether you want to see how local alcohols are made, explore the more artistic side of artisanal inebriation, or enjoy the best possible version of a cocktail classic, St. Augustine is the finest city for fine drinking endeavors.

What is craft alcohol?

"Craft" is short for "handcrafted," which itself implies that something is made with love and care. Not only is craft alcohol made with love and care, it is typically produced in small batches, thus allowing for a higher degree of quality control, and a greater emphasis on flavor. Human intuition and artistic expression play just as much, if not more of a role than the scientific processes that explain how alcohol is actually made. Large corporations typically employ tried and true methods in the manufacturing of their wines, beers, and spirits, and more power to them. They make a lot of money and make us customers happy by producing affordable, recognizable products (that get us intoxicated). This leaves an awful lot of room for experimentation, which is where craft brewers, distillers, and vintners find the space to create. That creative space in the marketplace is growing, and St. Augustine is leading the charge in Florida.

The creative output of craft distillers is in step with the resurgence of the craft cocktail. While anyone can pour cheap rum into a cup of cola, a mixologist will blend alcohol with a variety of sours, sweets, bitters, shrubs (vinegar-based fruit juice mixers), and garnishes to precise measurements. The resulting concoction intoxicates not only because of the alcohol, but for sheer flavorful joy. St. Augustine has its own distillery, winery, and brewery, and is also home to a variety of bars and restaurants willing to take their time and mix things up (to the proper, precise measurements, of course).

St. Augustine Distillery

The St. Augustine Distillery offers free tours daily. Access to the museum is open to tour-goers and passers-by alike. The tour details the history of the building itself (a former ice plant), prohibition laws and how they affected Florida, and the basics of distillation and barrel aging. Beginning with a six-and-a-half-minute intro video outlining the history of the distillery's inception, the tour also introduces guests to the local farming and business communities that the distillery works with. From there, guests are taken onto the production floor, where they are given a brief description of how spirits are made and have an opportunity to witness the very process itself, including copper pot stills and white oak barrels. The tour concludes with a tasting of the spirits in cocktails (the most popular method of consumption of alcoholic spirits), as well as neat samples (without mixers or ice), and, in true Florida fashion, an exit through the gift shop.

In addition to its distinctive vodka, gin, and rum, the St. Augustine Distillery is producing the first-ever (legal) bourbon in the state of Florida since prohibition. The production floor doubles as a warehouse, and as the distillery strives to imbue their spirits with a "terroir" (sense of place), there are no climate control mechanisms. What this means for the average guest is that it can get very hot in the summer, or on any hot day, as we tend to have a lot of them. Dress accordingly, and as with any alcohol outing, STAY HYDRATED.

Tours and tastings are available seven days a week, 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (no reservations necessary).The retail shop is open seven days a week, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Ice Plant Bar & Restaurant

Above St. Augustine Distillery is an aptly named and gorgeously decorated bar and restaurant that takes both its food and its cocktails to the next level. Everything in this farm-to-table establishment is as fresh and as carefully prepared as it could possibly be. Both the food and drink menus are seasonal, keeping things fresh, and keeping you (and me) coming back over and over again for the sake of trying new things.

The Ice Plant 's mixologists are experts at crafting classic cocktails. For example, they make the best Old Fashioned to ever grace my lips. It's so good, it has effectively ruined the Old Fashioned for me everywhere else I go (and yes, let that serve as a challenge to every other bar on this list).

All of that being said, however, the real fun begins when you delve into their signature cocktails. That's where the expert balance of flavors demonstrated through their approach to the classics is perfectly matched by sheer creativity.

Forgotten Tonic

From the moment you enter Forgotten Tonic, the atmosphere makes you want to party, but in a tasteful manner. Even more specifically, when it's day time, it feels like night time, but a young night at that. You get anything other than an "Oh my god, I'm trapped in a cellar" vibe. I was worried the lighting would be too dim for the pictures of my utterly perfect cocktails, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I was also pleasantly surprised not to spill my Manhattan, considering it was served quite elegantly in a martini glass, and I am the opposite of elegant (especially when I've had a few) and can be quite twitchy. The Manhattan (another classic) gave me the courage to order a signature cocktail called "Raising Cain," which managed to conquer both my taste buds and my eternal affection. Featuring St. Augustine Cane Vodka, Raising Cane was mixed with elderflower liqueur, blackberry shrub, lemon, and honey. The honey provided just the right amount of sweetness, while the blackberry shrub complemented the local vodka just perfectly.

Odd Birds is owned and operated by some local folks who are not at all new or unfamiliar with the craft cocktail scene. Located on Anastasia Island, Odd Birds has a rotating drink menu and bills itself as a gastropub. A "gastropub" is any bar that serves high-end drinks and food. While I can only attest to the quality of their drinks (high end doesn't seem fitting enough, "highest possible end, if there is an end at all" perhaps?), their Venezuelan arepas look incredible. As Odd Birds changes things frequently, they're worth following on social media. They frequently feature guest bartenders, or "gypsies," from other high-end establishments around the state on select nights who bring their own personal style and artistry to the bar for the evening.

The Floridian

The Floridian now has a full bar in their location on Spanish Street. I tried the Garden Gimlet because I had been thinking about nature for two days prior, and because I like the sound of an "earthy" cocktail.

You can see here that it's made with St. Augustine Distillery Gin, basil, cucumber, lime, elderflower wash, and simple syrup. I'd never had a cocktail made with these ingredients until this point, but The Floridian has proven to me that it's not only possible, but optimal. My eyes and my mouth have been opened, and yours will be too, if you just find a good excuse to break from a gin and tonic to try something different. You may just want to take up gardening - and drinking - together.

Casa Reina Taqueria & Tequila

The Casa Reina is the place to be on weekends for those of us who love to taste tequila - and lots of it. When I stopped in to visit, I decided to honor America's oldest continuously occupied city (yes, that's St. Augustine) by ordering the Old City - Tres Generaciones Reposado, house honey syrup, chile bitters, and fresh lemon. After an Old City or two, it became easy to make friends with locals and visitors while watching the bartenders create magic with the tequila menu.

This is just a sampling of the many fine cocktail lounges in St. Augustine. For a complete listing, visit here. Viva San Agustín!

OLD TOWN TROLLEY TOURS

What Our Guests Are Saying

Kanga was amazing.

We rode your trolley the weekend before Christmas during the daytime and Kanga was our driver/guide. To say that she made the tour would be an understatement. She was amazing! The entire tour was really cool, but her narration really made it special. We have returned home… but the memories we made down there will always be with us…

Wow - best money spent on my trip!

…We had 3 different tour guides Robert the Pirate, Allie Cat, and Summer. All were amazing friendly and informative. I assume they have to memorize things but the way each one spoke and talked was different and made the trolley even better. Thank you and wanted to brag about how great they were and how they helped make our visit even more amazing!

Best thing we did...

Our group of eight just spent 2 days in St. Augustine… best thing we did was buy 2 day passes for your trolleys. We could not have been more pleased with your services and how helpful and entertaining all of your staff were to us… Well done by all!!! Don’t know what you folks feed these people for Breakfast, but I want some! Thank you all for a very enjoyable trip.

Jerry felt like family...

Jerry is the best driver and most amazing addition that we have met on your team! He genuinely cares about the people that he transports and makes the time to ask about where they are from, etc, but also cares enough to remember them. Jerry felt like family by the time we were finished with our vacation. Having a team that is as amazing and customer-friendly is a blessing, but having a member of that team like Jerry is a true blessing…

A highlight of our trip

We had the pleasure of visiting St. Augustine and Old Town Trolley Tours was a highlight of our trip. The conductors are wonderful, and their expert narration was a delight. Truly educational AND entertaining. We’d like to give a special shout out to John, our Beach Bus conductor, who is a sweetheart! Thank you OTT …you will see us, again!

Old Town Trolley made our whole trip!

My mom and I enjoyed our trolley experience tremendously! It went off without a hitch! The guides were all very informative and added to the sightseeing experience. We were able to see and do so much more because of the trolley. We were also pleased to see that you have wheelchair-accessible options, as next time we will be traveling with a wheelchair user. We have already recommended you to several people.

I have never enjoyed myself so much

The Guides were not only very entertaining but extremely educated on the area. Each one had a little more to add. I left some pictures at the old jail booth from our first trip. Love It. B Back Soon, Thank You.

Michael is a real GEM!

I enjoyed every minute of his tour. I rode the trolley all over town for three days and he was the best guide. Now I want to return to St. Augustine and bring all my friends to ride the trolley.

Fantastic staff

I just wanted to leave a note about a fantastic staff, including our driver, Jim. But in specific I want to mention a specific person who truly made our trip extraordinary and one who I will always remember. His name is Charles and he’s from Tennessee. He was just so friendly and nice and gave me great ideas for places to see while on the tour and in the city…

We want to thank Scooter...

We arrived here in St. Augustine on Monday and attempted to cross the street from our hotel to the welcome center. In our attempt to cross the street, purchased our tickets, and were ready to cross the street again… we met Scooter who offered us a safe ride to our hotel…

Kit Kat was so funny and informative

…Had Kit Kat as our tour guide and she was so funny and informative. Very engaging! We had several tour guides over the course of the two days, but we are very happy to report that our trip ended on a high note with Kit Kat. Thank you so much from Chicago!

Will definitely do it again next time

The tour was awesome, we loved all of the things we got to see, and it really helped us acclimate to all of the things in St. Augustine we could see and visit. Our tour guide Summer was amazing, she knew her stuff and was funny and entertaining! We loved her, and couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver. Kudos Summer and thank you for making our experience so great! Will definitely do it again next time we go to St. Augustine!
