Bay 13 Brewery and Kitchen

What Bay 13 Brewery and Kitchen does

Bay 13 Brewery and Kitchen is a locally owned, independent craft brewery and brewpub operating at 65 Alhambra Plaza in Coral Gables, Florida. Founded in 2014 by Nick and Teresa (relocated from Melbourne, Australia in 2012) under Melbourne Hospitality Group, it operates as Miami's first Australian-inspired brewpub. The business brews all beer on-site, featuring Southern Hemisphere-inspired styles such as Australian Sparkling Ale, Aussie Bitter, and beers made with Galaxy, Vic Secret, Alorra, and Nectaron hops. The product portfolio spans seven staple year-round beers, rotating seasonal ales and lagers, a premium barrel-aged and bottle-only release program (Eagle Rare, 1792 Bourbon, Pappy van Winkle, Clonakilty Irish whiskey barrels), and is complemented by a full kitchen, craft cocktails with allocated spirits, and what the company describes as Miami's largest exclusively Australian wine list (Penfolds, Yalumba).

The company operates a direct-to-consumer business model with four primary revenue streams: on-site food and beverage sales, private event hosting (booked via Tripleseat), bottle and crowler retail sales of specialty releases, and daily happy hour and weekly promotions (Monday burger deal, Tuesday BOGO beer, Wednesday wine specials, Thursday Parmi, and weekend brunch). Pricing spans $5 happy hour drafts to $42 premium proteins, with menu entrees typically $11-$42. Distribution is exclusively on-premise at the single Coral Gables location, serving local dine-in customers, craft beer enthusiasts, private event hosts, and visitors across the broader Miami metropolitan area. The group also operates sister venues Threefold Cafe (Melbourne-inspired cafe) and Deco Coffee Co. (coffee sourcing, roasting, training), creating a small multi-concept Australian-themed hospitality portfolio anchored by Bay 13.
