Did you know?

First Magnitude is more than just great beer…

We believe in doing our best to help our local community and environment; here are some of the things we’ve got going on!

FIRST MAGNITUDE SPRINGS

are the most powerful; their waters form cool, clear pools that feed our rivers and lakes.

GAZING AT THE STARS?

The brightest star you can see is a FIRST MAGNITUDE star. Maggie, our mermaid logo, and our beer names reflect our love of the springs and a bright starry night.

BACK IN 2012

four friends came together with the idea of opening a brewery in their hometown. The group all had the same goal: make excellent beer, build awareness and appreciation of Florida’s springs, have a great space for people to come and enjoy a pint, be an exceptional place to work, and be a big part of our local community.

SINCE OPENING OUR DOORS

we’ve made a lot of things- award winning beer, a fantastic team, community connections, and great friends.
