About us
Four families, four friendships, for beer
A decade of campgrounds, state parks, beaches and all the breweries in between.
Our story
Amicus Brewing Ventures is a story crafted by four families with a love of fellowship, adventure, and beer. Our roots trace back from over a decade of exploring campgrounds, state parks, beaches, mountain retreats, and of course, all those breweries in between.
With every destination we nurtured a deep appreciation for that sublime feeling of sitting around a table drinking great beers, in a welcoming space, with friends engaged in lively conversation. Invigorated, we finally committed to offer our version of this experience to the Tallahassee community and all of the wonderful people that cross its path.
What better place to do it than the Old City Waterworks building, which has such a rich history in our area. the Old City Waterworks building
We hope you enjoy your visit as we are thrilled to be able to host you at our brewery and be a part of an excellent craft beer scene in Tallahassee.
Our historic home
The Old City Waterworks building was completed in the 1920s and served as the first municipal water supply for the City of Tallahassee. In 1958 production was abandoned and the location was left vacant. Three buildings on the property were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
After nearly 70 years of neglect, the adaptive reuse project for a brewery and taproom was completed in late 2023. Prior to, few people had ever stepped foot in this iconic piece of architectural history. Today, Amicus Brewing Ventures is proud to welcome everyone in to enjoy a nice, cold, craft beer or beverage and appreciate the reclaimed historical space.
The building stands at Tallahassee’s Four Corners of History, at East Gaines and South Gadsden, where four buildings tell the story of healthcare, safety, education and clean water.
We welcome everyone
Our business is committed to maintaining a welcoming and safe environment for all people, including customers, employees, visitors, vendors and clients, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, religion or disability.
