“Cool venue in a neat part of town. These are some of the best meads I’ve ever had and I drink a lot of mead. Bold. Flavorful. Delicious. I wanted to try everything!!“

“One of my favorite local hang out spots! Great reasonably priced brewed in house beers, solid cider and wine selection too. It’s kid and family friendly. Their food is SO good and the menu changes regularly. Don’t sleep on their weekend brunch 🤩“

“Community Brewhouse is the kind of place that keeps us coming back again and again. The beer is consistently excellent, with a thoughtful rotating selection that always has something fresh and fun. On our most recent visit, I had the Alien Space Juice (a hazy NEIPA at 6.4% ABV that was raw, juicy, and bursting with hop flavor), while my wife enjoyed the Squirrel Chaser (a 5% golden lager, crisp and classic). Both were fantastic. The service here is truly off the charts. Gabe and Ernie are behind the bar and are warm, welcoming, and the kind of people who make you feel like family the minute you walk in. Jose is also outstanding, attentive and genuinely friendly and a marketing genius. That level of hospitality sets Community Brewhouse apart. We also have to give a shout-out to Gary, one of the brewers. Once we tried his Beerless Shadow beer, which comes with one of the best backstories we’ve ever heard. The name comes from a real brewery mishap: a pipe opened and blasted a pressurized stream of beer across the room. Gary happened to be standing in the line of fire, and when it stopped, the wall behind him showed a perfect silhouette where the beer hadn’t landed. That outline became “Gary’s Beerless Shadow.” We love grabbing a pint and sitting outside for a game of cribbage. On 9/24 we had the chance to attend their wine & cheese kickoff event. It was a wonderful expansion of what they offer: Tom, the “Sanford Sommelier,” curated a lineup that included Cava, Loire Sauvignon Blanc, Mencía, Chilean Carmenere, and a reserve Cab/Carmenere blend. These aren’t the typical value wines you’d expect to see at a brewery. Real thought went into the lineup, the prices were very affordable, and the cheese pairings were spot-on. It’s exciting to see them growing beyond beer into wine, while still keeping that neighborhood, community-driven vibe. Highly recommend Community Brewhouse, whether you’re into craft beer, good wine, or just good people!“

“Both Locations in Orlando are amazing. They both feature amazing staff, with unique atmospheres at each location; they both have something to offer. I highly recommend visiting both and finding your favorite.“

“Great selection of their own brew and supplies to help you make your own. My wife and I attended a class taught by Gary on how to make kimchi. He made it fun and enjoyable and there was no rush to finish up. He also showed us what products we needed to make mead at home. We go by everytime we are in downtown because we love the atmosphere and company , and it isn't a loud and rowdy pub. So if you like a nice and easy pleasant place, we highly recommend.“

“Wonderful beer, the best staff, very welcoming!“

“Great place with amazing beers and a fantastic staff. Shaun was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations for me and a buddy. There is something for everyone here and you can order food from right next door. They also have big screens TV's at the bar playing sports. 10/10 overall experience.“

“We stopped there last week and loved the place! Friendly people, amazing beer selection. We ordered the cheeseburger flatbread and it was delicious . Highly recommend visiting this brewery“

“Flavor stouts and chicken wings My favorite stouts are Smores & Christmas. Bartender Grayson is amazing! He takes good of my friend and I when we go to Mama’s Comedy Show.“

“Stumbled upon this brewery by accident and so glad we did. Great beer! Friendly and knowledgeable bartender Mark!“

“This was my first time at this spot and went with a friend for a late dinner. We were immediately greeted by a wonderful girl who luckily ended up being our server. Her name was Janiya. Her first approach on the table was charismatic and caring. She got us off to the best start and continued to be the best part of our experience there. She was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. She had the personality and the recommendations. She even told us about items that weren’t on the menu that we ended up ordering. She was literal perfection throughout our time there and deserves all the praise. The food and beers were also good, but she was definitely the selling point. I even had a couple run ins with another server, Sam, who wasn’t even our waitress, but still gave me the kind of customer service as if she was getting a tip from us. Kudos to both these girls. This establishment is lucky to have them, and while I will be back for the food and drinks, they are what really sold me coming back. Take care of them.“

“This is the place to go. Great mix of beer options with some unique combinations. Stellar options for sour beer lovers, but really there is something for everybody. Bartenders are the best part, Gabby and Garrett. Helpful and upbeat. Great atmosphere to spend a few hours or in my case, the whole day :)“
