I found a brewery in Boca Raton, Florida buried in the back of an industrial complex. You would have never known Barrel of Monks was back there if it wasn’t for Google Maps.
They are pretty big on the inside. They have a huge bar guests can sit at plus they also have tables, chairs, and couches. I sat on one of the couches. It was comfortable and a great way to relax at the end of the day.

They are decorated beautifully. There are lids from barrels on the walls and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. They also have a collection of games that can be played while you are enjoying a pint.
Their beer selection was nice. Lots of patrons were doing flights which aloud for a sampling of multiple beers.
I just went for it. I ordered the Onward Together. This was a Bohemian pilsner with orange peels, mango, coconut, and pineapple puree. There was a slight sweetness to the beer, but it was not overwhelming. Of all the flavors, it was the coconut that seemed to stand out the most.
They offer a small menu with some munchies that you can enjoy while having a beer. I ordered the truffle fries. These were freshly sliced fries that still had the skin on them. They were covered with parmesan cheese and truffle oil. As soon as the fries hit the table I could smell the truffles. Truffles have such a unique, earthy aroma. The saltiness of the fries paired extremely well with my semi-sweet beer.
Barrel of Monks is a great brewery. It is beautiful inside and it is such a relaxing environment. They are off the beaten path but worth visiting. Just plug their address into Google.
