Mocama Beer Company was founded by four friends who wanted to brew distinctive beers in a unique space on Amelia Island. The name comes from the word the Spanish used for the Timucua dialect spoken along the coastal territory from the Altamaha River near St. Simons Island, Georgia south to St. Augustine, Florida; it translates as the ocean, or big water where the sun is born. The brewery is a few blocks from historic downtown Fernandina Beach, in the former Lasserre Motor Company building. That building was originally constructed in 1954, and its 18,000 square feet have been transformed into a mid-century taproom. The beers are made with what the brewery describes as equal parts technical precision and creative art, using fundamentally sound production practices aimed at reliable, repeatable quality.

The brewery sits on South 8th Street, about a quarter mile from Peck High School and roughly half a mile from Southside Elementary School. Elm Park and the Amelia Island Museum of History are both about 0.4 miles away, and the Amelia Community Theatre is about half a mile from the taproom.

Mocama Beer Company is known for the positive rating its customers have given it, and for a taproom and tour program built around beers brewed on Amelia Island.
