Mocama Beer Company

What Mocama Beer Company does

Mocama Beer Company is a privately held craft brewery founded in 2018 by four friends and headquartered in Fernandina Beach, Florida. It produces a core portfolio of four year-round beers (Cosmico IPA, Amelia Light, Dune Garden, and Prosím Pilsner, with Wise-Zen Hefeweizen as an additional offering) on a 30 BBL three-vessel brewhouse supported by 30, 60, and 90 BBL fermenters. Its 18,000 square foot production and hospitality facility is an adaptive reuse of the circa 1954 Lasserre Ford building on Amelia Island, which simultaneously houses a full-service taproom, a kitchen serving breakfast through dinner, and the wholly-owned Mocama Coffee Fernandina coffee shop operating under the same roof.

The company's business model blends direct-to-consumer on-premise sales with regional wholesale and packaged retail. Primary revenue comes from taproom beer, wine, and food service, supplemented by crowler and six-pack to-go sales, wholesale keg and draft distribution through North Florida Sales in the Jacksonville/Northeast Florida market, and packaged placement at Publix, Winn Dixie, Total Wine, and ABC Liquors. Adjacent revenue lines include Mug Club annual memberships (capped at 135 general and 15 Brewing Enthusiast slots), brewery tours, private venue rentals accommodating up to 200 guests, branded merchandise via a Shopify storefront, and recurring community events such as the monthly Mocama Market and Fashion Night Market. Online alcohol orders are fulfilled through the AccelPay licensed retailer network using GLS and UPS carriers.

The legal entity operates as Mocama Brewing Company in Florida, is independently owned by its four founders with no disclosed institutional or venture backing, and reports 1-10 employees. Distribution is constrained to the United States with explicit shipping exclusions for Hawaii, Alaska, PO Boxes, and international destinations. The company's strategic posture emphasizes the unique mid-century physical setting, an event-driven community programming calendar, and a hybrid wholesale-plus-experience go-to-market rather than aggressive capacity expansion.
