13 Best Craft Breweries near Sanford

“We attended a home brewing class, with Andy as our instructor. It was very informative and fun. Andy did a great job explaining the process and getting us involved. And there was no 'big push' to buy products. I would definitely attend another class here...Kombucha brewing class, especially!“

“Good selection of beers available“

“Most awesome place. Great vibe. Great brews.“

“Cool brewery in the heart of downtown Sanford. Great vibe, and if you like sours be sure to try their Sourmanjaro, a coffee blonde sour that is top tier for sure. Great staff as well always ready to pour you their latest brews. Definitely a worthwhile spot when you are in downtown Sanford.“

“Yes and yes! This place is the best brewery in Downtown Sanford, hands down! We were bar hopping and wanted something new. Searched on Yelp "craft beers" and Dees Brothers Brewery was new to our eyes. Walking distance from the crowd, it was easy to find this place with loads of street parking surrounding the building. We walked in and immediately sat ourselves at the bar. We were given menus and taken care of right away, with offerings of samples since it was our first time. We absolutely fell in love with their Czech Republic (forgot the name of it) but it's #1 on their draught list. It was so good, we ordered four more rounds of their 16oz pours. Love it here.“

“Food/service was fantastic!“

“Great place for late work lunch. Great pizza and great service. Good ambiance. Love the music videos.“

“Awesome all around! Hidden gem!“

“Love Hourglass Longwood! Incredible staff and lots of fun.“

“As all the other reviews point out it is off the beaten path but it was perfect for my friends who rode their bikes there. My first visit although they are frequent patrons. I enjoyed the Up River but would like to try some of the other brews. Great staff.“

“We love this place, always the best service and food! And the Coca Cola is the best I have ever tasted! We love this place for family celebrations or even just date night with the hubby!“

“Nice location, easy to get to. Try it out for yourself.“

“Came here Friday evening. Wasn't super packed, but busy enough. At first, our server was pretty quick, but we didn't order drinks right away because we couldn't get wifi or any connection in the restaurant (drink menu via QR code). We eventually figured out you can connect to BNwifi. Had to go to the bar and it took awhile to get the two bartender's attention to get a printed menu.I got the Italian sandwich and the menu did not show that it had jalapenos/peppers in it. It was so spicy, even after I removed the peppers. I couldn't finish it. Traded my husband's hamburger for the sandwich and even though he loves spicy food, he also commented how super spicy that sandwich was.The hamburger was actually good. Kettle fries, drinks, and everything else was fine. But after we got our food, our server disappeared. We were ready to leave and had to wait until she finally showed up.Overall, this is a pretty decent place. Just wish the server had warned me about how spicy the Italian sandwich was. She made no recommendations on drinks or menu specials. We'd come back for the hamburgers and try other foods though.“
