Today is May 3, 2026, and if you’re in Stuart, Florida, there’s a delightful new spot that’s worth checking out—Frazier Creek Brewing & Distilling Co. Located in Mayfair Plaza right off the Federal Highway, this unique establishment is making waves as Martin County’s very first “Brewstillery.” What’s that, you ask? Well, it’s a combination of a brewery and a distillery, and they’ve got a whole lot more in store!
Founded by Etienne Bourgeois, Peter Hibberd, and Aron Trocchia in 2015, the dream took a little time to brew, but it finally came to life when master brewer and distiller Dan Rogers moved from Michigan to Stuart. With a great vision and a talented team, they opened the doors to this vibrant locale in May 2023. Timothy O’Hara, an environmental reporter at TCPalm and a self-proclaimed beer lover, has dubbed it his favorite hangout. He’s particularly fond of ales, porters, stouts, and those hazy IPAs, along with a good rum or whiskey. It seems he’s not alone in his adoration for this spot!
What’s On Offer?
At Frazier Creek, you won’t just find a couple of beers on tap. They boast a whopping 25 varieties of homemade brews, including ales and IPAs, alongside a range of spirits like gin, vodka, bourbon, rum, and schnapps. The selection is said to be superior to many retail brands, which is a big draw for aficionados. LeeAnne Edwards and her son Brady took over the brewery at the end of December 2025, and they’ve been steering the ship ever since, with Jay Rosicky as the manager. Edwards has described the experience as “overwhelming and exciting,” praising the groundwork laid by the previous owners.
But it’s not just about the drinks here. Frazier Creek is a social hub too! Their bar features a new stage for live music on Friday nights and Sunday afternoons, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long week. If you’re looking to get your groove on, Saturdays offer rotating line-dance and Latin dance nights, along with disco-themed events. The atmosphere is as lively as it gets, complete with a unique keg disco mirror ball that catches the light just right.
A Modern Space
Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a modern, spacious interior that’s both welcoming and stylish. Think antler chandeliers and a faux zinc roof—definitely a vibe! O’Hara didn’t even discover this gem through drinking; his first visit was actually in early 2025 when he attended a talk on fishing and marine science. It goes to show that Frazier Creek has something for everyone.
So, whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, a spirit connoisseur, or just looking for a fun night out with live music, Frazier Creek Brewing & Distilling Co. is the place to be. You can find more about it in Timothy O’Hara’s article on TCPalm, which dives deeper into the story behind this local treasure here.
So why not gather your friends and head over to Frazier Creek? With a mix of unique drinks, live entertainment, and a lively atmosphere, it’s bound to be a good time. Cheers to exploring the best of what Stuart has to offer!
