    Update 2, Aug 2023: Fantastic beer, such great IPAs and stouts. Highly recommend Update Jan 2023: Visited a month or so ago, and the beer was fantastic, perhaps better than I remembered. Tried a few of their IPAs and a sour; everything was good, even some of their lower ABV IPAs had a better flavor than their big brothers. Additionally, the food from the food truck was great, much better than it used to be. Not sure if it's the same or if they changed something, but would get food again. Original: Awesome beer! Wonderful, full-flavored hazy IPAs and a good selection of other style beers. Would definitely recommend. If you have kids, go early. If not, go when you want, and you won't be disappointed!

    We're love to travel and visit breweries wherever we are, so we stopped in here while visiting Fort Lauderdale. We were highly impressed! The ambience of the place was very unique! Taxidermy everywhere. The beer list was large and diverse. I tried some IPAs, sours, and an excellent scotch ale on Nitro. The staff was friendly and helpful. All in all just a great afternoon! Definitely check this place out!

    One of the best breweries in the US. Unique prehistoric experience not super busy and service is smooth. I'm picky and only drink solid craft beer so my go to spot!

    Finally got to try this place out, it was great. Went on a Saturday, it was super busy. It didn’t seem busy from the front outside patio, but it was rocking on the inside. They have a lot of different beers on tap, it’s best to a get a flight or two. The Island Boii and Love Bite are awesome. There is a cooler in front with beer ready to go, you need to come early before they sell out.

    Thank you for inviting us with open arms. Amazing atmosphere and brews! Large areas to hangout in. Front, inside & beer garden style back. Food Truck Billy's Curbside grill & try the Buffalo Bill's Chicken Cheese Fries. ❤️‍🔥 We had the pleasure of meeting the brew Master & many locals. We're a huge fan from the beginning. Highly recommend for the quirky at heart to swing by & try! Watching the "Mocha-Man Randy savage Milk stout show come alive was spectacular! Hubby had Ninja Juice & Loakals Only. 2 different worlds but equally Amazing. The ninja juice gets the party started. Loakals only keeps ya going! I had the Cabana Crush & Stam Wheat. I Found the Stam wheat super light & easy going for beginner beer or first for the night. The Cabana Crush-smoothie sour left me wanting MORE! Hands down my fav. I AM SO DELIGHTED ❤️ we will be back. This place would be our weekly visit if we lived here full time! Great Bartenders to deboot!

    Been trying to make it here man am I glad I did!!! We travel the East coast frequently and stop at as many breweries as we can....This place!, Hands down some of the best IPA's I have ever had. Their selection of HAZY'S best around. Had a 16% imperial stout that taste like desert 🤪. The staff was great and the food truck was amazing; Bravo Invasive Species you made our night!!! If you're a fan of craft beers, run don't walk to this place!

    Best brewery in Broward county. Lots of selection for every type of beer drinker. If you can get the "Ninja Juice" don't hesitate. It is one of the most unique beers in the country and delicious. Think wine meets sake and has a baby beer. It's high in alcohol but smooth and too easy to drink.

    I have been to many breweries in 10+ countries and I've gotta tell ya, this is in my top 2 in the world, right up there with Delirium. It's hard to find a brewery that just gets every single beer right. No matter if it's an IPA, Sour, Stout, you name it. And on top of that, they rotate the menu a good amount that I feel I have a different tasting experience every time I go (in a good way). Every single beer that I've had at this place is excellent, and I've made every person who visits me come here. Every single person I bring absolutely loves the beer here and wants to come back. I curse this brewery because they've raised the bar so high, there are only a handful of places that even come close. Can't wait to keep coming in.

    Top 5 South Florida brewery. Good tap list that rotates quite a bit. Top notch sours. Have had some slamming stouts here too. Food truck outside, pretty good. The missing star is for the service. Been here a dozen or so times, and the environment is more reminiscent of a dive bar, which is strange. Staff seems knowledgeable and the beer is great.

    How lucky my friend lives walking distance to here. So when I'm in town I always make my way to this brewery. Play Date is the best beer I've had in a while. Cheers!

    Visited here while in town for the F1 race. Invasive species has something for every taste from IPAs to sweet and fruity seltzers. We got a couple of flights to try several of them. My favorite was sky rider. My wife enjoyed the lucky charm. Bartenders were friendly and they had a food truck as well.

    Totally came here for the name and merch at first, but I was super pleasantly surprised with the beer. I love a super hazy beer and am always skeptical ordering NE IPAs outside of the northeast, but I asked the bartender for her recommendation of flight options and they were all so good. Loved the vibes and the outdoor area as well.

    One of the best breweries I have been to. I love the sours, especially the Pee Paw Pie. Very nice vibe (very Floridian) and great service. Plenty of outdoor seating. The inside gets a bit packed and the music is very loud, but outside is relaxing. Dog friendly outside. The food truck has great food as well, especially the quesadillas. Vegan and vegetarian options available. Open late, food till 11 and drinks till 12. Our new go-to place for drinks.

    WOW, this may be my new favorite brewery! They had an extensive menu of brews with a variety of flavors. Their Master Blaster Stout and their Pinchy Finger sour were incredible! Their atmosphere was very unique, almost like Bass Pro Shops meets Ernest Hemingway, quirky yet cool! The two young ladies working the bar handled the large crowd without missing a beat! Definitely can’t wait to go back!

    The place has some pretty good beers and has both indoors and front and back outdoors space with seats/tables. The interior decoration has a bunch of stuffed animals and I'd say it's unique, like this deer head wearing sunglasses. Parking is free between some trees next to the bar. I've mostly seen people looking like they're in their late 20s to late 40s. I'm giving 4 stars because the place is great but there's nothing that gives it that 5 star, amazing place rating. I definitely recommend it if you're looking to try new, tasty beers

    They have one of the best IPAs I've ever tried! do yourself a favor and come here to try their IPA. They have good customer service, plenty of space inside and outside, and a food truck in case you are hungry. I went on a week day after work, and it was packed, I guess weekends will get more crowded, but the ambiance is great. Prices are average as any other brewery around.

  • 5/5 Matt G. 1 year ago on Google
    A great, local brewery. Easily walkable, with a fantastic selection of beers. I ordered four different hazy IPAs, each of which were good. If I had more time, I would have opted for the sours next, as I heard numerous people bragging about how good they were. If back in town, I would definitely stop by again.

  • 5/5 Paul T. 1 year ago on Google
    Just in town for a few nights, a local recommend this brewery once he realized we loved great beer. He was right!!! Get on in here and cheers 🍻

  • 5/5 Emily F. 8 months ago on Google
    One of the coolest breweries we have ever been to. Totally funky with all the taxidermy, but it the theme that makes it so cool. I would tell you to go early as there are so many good beers to try, you will need the time to enjoy. However, the night atmosphere is jammin' and so worth the visit as well. The bartenders are friendly and definitely want to make sure you enjoy the beer and have a good time. We sat inside, but there was ample outdoor seating in the back. Their beer selection is a heavy on sours, seltzers and IPAs, but they are unlike the majority you will see elsewhere. The other beers on tap are solid, making it a great place to take people that might want to explore outside the box from the ever popular sours and IPAs. The only bummers are that we don't live closer to visit more often and that they don't have a sign. Cheers

    If you want a memorable, hole-in-the-wall with some of the coolest flavored beer, you’ve ever had in your life…. come to invasive species brewing. The people who work there are very attentive, knowledgeable and kind. The variety of flavors/scents will tickle your senses. The decorations are definitely unforgettable.

  • 4/5 Naomi G. 5 months ago on Google
    Great spot to try local craft brews out of the touristy buzz of Ft. Lauderdale. Enjoyed the Sours and the hazy IPA’s are solid, not spectacular. Five star would mean beyond amazing. This is definitely a good 4. Worth a stop and sip afternoon.

    More of a bar than your typical brewery ...nice decor and atmosphere...small and intimate. Good selection of brews to try...the one and only time there the music was a mix of punky semi obscure tunes...I remember a great Clash song that kind of fit the overall downtown hipster hangout vibe...only gave 3 stars as I should go there more to assess the varying crowds and tunes. It was a light crowd near closing (12 am) maybe they should close later on weekends? Most of the offerings I tried were pretty dank and tasty. I like the name of the place complete with the requisite gator/ iguana skulls and such.
