The story behind the brewery reaches back to July 21, 1888, when the Blanco-Herrera family established Cerveceria La Tropical in Havana on land once owned by Federico Kohly. By 1958 it accounted for more than 60 percent of all beer production in Cuba, and it grew to include tropical gardens and a baseball stadium whose infield sand was made from crushed La Tropical bottles. A separate Florida brewery was founded in Ybor City, Tampa, in 1896 by the Martinez-Ybor family, and La Tropical beer was produced and distributed in Florida from 1897. The Havana brewery was reborn in Miami, carrying its brewing tradition forward.

The brewery sits on NE 25th St, about a tenth of a mile from Lock & Load Miami Range, a nearby street art attraction, and the PARADOX Museum Miami. North Miami Avenue is roughly a tenth of a mile away, Northeast 2nd Avenue about two tenths of a mile, and the Miami Edgewater Police Mini Station about three tenths of a mile.

Its 4.60 rating reflects a positive response from the customers who have reviewed it.

For a brewery rooted in Cuba's oldest brewing tradition, Cerveceria La Tropical of Miami Springs brings a century-old Havana name to Miami Springs, pairing its beers with Cuban-Caribbean cooking.
