Civil Society Brewing

Civil Society Brewing operates a taproom in Abacoa Town Center, one of two locations for the independently owned Florida craft brewery, with a sister taproom in West Palm Beach. The Jupiter location brings the brewery’s self described “Drink Civilized” philosophy to Town Center Drive, joining the walkable district’s mix of restaurants and bars near Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium.

As a craft brewery rather than a bar simply serving other companies’ beer, Civil Society controls its own production, giving the Abacoa taproom a rotating selection of beers brewed under its own label. This sets it apart from most of the other bars and restaurants in the Town Center district, offering beer drinkers a chance to try styles they cannot find anywhere else in Jupiter.

The taproom’s hours extend later on weekends, reflecting its role as both an early evening dinner and drinks spot and a later night destination for craft beer fans. A kitchen operates within the taproom several days a week, adding food service to the beer focused experience and giving guests a reason to settle in for a longer visit rather than a quick pint.

Being independently owned and rooted in Florida, Civil Society has built its identity around the craft brewing community rather than a corporate beer conglomerate, a distinction that matters to the kind of customer who specifically seeks out local breweries over national beer brands. The Abacoa location benefits from the district’s built in foot traffic, drawing residents, students, and visitors attending events at the nearby stadium.

Abacoa is a planned, walkable community in western Jupiter built around a traditional town center design, with Main Street and Town Center Drive forming the core of its restaurant and retail district. The neighborhood sits close to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, spring training home to two Major League Baseball organizations, as well as Florida Atlantic University’s Jupiter campus and the Scripps Research Institute. This mix of residents, students, researchers, and baseball fans gives Abacoa’s restaurants a steady, varied customer base throughout the year. Parking is generally available in shared lots throughout the district, and the walkable layout means visitors can easily move between several restaurants in one visit, a design that has made Abacoa one of Jupiter’s most active dining districts outside the coastal corridor.

For craft beer fans in Jupiter, Civil Society Brewing’s Abacoa taproom offers a genuine local brewery experience, part of a small but growing Florida craft beer scene that has found a home within Abacoa’s walkable Town Center district.
