About Us
Growler Country is a premier craft beer tavern & grill located in the heart of Tallahassee, Florida. Founded by veteran brothers Michael and Bobby Carbonell, the idea for Growler Country was born over a beer in October 2013. Passionate about craft beer & with a deep commitment to the community, they set out to bring their vision to life. After months of meticulous planning, the brothers faced a significant challenge: anti-craft beer legislation that threatened to derail their dream. Determined, the Carbonell brothers joined forces with the Florida Brewers Guild, successfully lobbying the state to keep growler fills legal. With the legislation defeated, they proudly launched Florida’s first dedicated growler filling station.
Growler Country enjoys a devoted fan base & has earned numerous accolades, including being named Best Craft Beer Bar in Florida by CraftBeer.com’s Great American Beer Bars, & Best of Tallahassee for Craft Beer. Most recently, Restaurant Guru recognized Growler Country as the best Pub and Bar in Tallahassee, rated #1 out of 498 pubs & bars in 2023.
Today, the Fernandez Family owns & runs Growler Country, continuing the military veteran legacy & infusing the establishment with fresh energy. Under their stewardship, Growler Country remains a beloved destination, celebrated for its outstanding craft beer selection, exceptional food, and vibrant atmosphere that has made Growler Country a local favorite.
