4 Best Craft Breweries near Mount Dora

“Some places feed you. Some places pour you a drink. And then there are places that hold you. Eden Abbey is one of those rare spaces where craft meets care, where intention lives in every detail, and where community is not a slogan—but a daily practice of love. The beer crafted by Ben Passmore’s is nothing short of extraordinary—thoughtful, balanced, and brewed with both mastery and soul. And alongside his wife, Eve, the heart of this place beats even stronger. Together, they have created something that goes far beyond a brewery or restaurant. They have built a home. The food is elevated and unexpected—beautifully prepared, deeply satisfying, and far beyond what one anticipates from a brewery. The pretzel bites, buttermilk chicken bites, and wings are all exceptional—perfectly done and crave-worthy. The Mo Clucka sandwich is an absolute standout, and the wraps and salads are just as impressive: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. There truly isn’t a weak spot on the menu. And the people who serve it? They are family. You can feel it in their laughter, their pride, their presence. No one here is simply “working.” They are welcoming, caring, belonging. In moments when small businesses feel the weight of the world—when a single review can sting deeply—we want it known how profoundly this place matters. Eden Abbey is built on integrity, openness, and an unwavering love for its community. It is a place that listens, learns, grows, and gives. We are endlessly grateful for Ben and Eve, for their remarkable team, and for the sacred space they’ve created—where everyone is welcomed with an open heart, and no one is a stranger for long.“

“Nice place. Cool atmosphere“

“We stopped in at Odd Guys Brewery for the 4th of July. It’s an awesome space with plenty of seating and games. Good selection of beers however they were all from other locations. They did say they were going to be brewing more soon. However, the food stole the shows the wings were very reasonably priced and delicious. No sauce needed as the batter added so much flavor. I’m typically not a breaded wing guy but these were amazing. We also got chicken strips with fries. Their house made sauce was delicious. Can’t say enough about the food. I spend a lot of time checking out new breweries and it’s not often I would go for the food, however Odd Guys will be that spot I seek for the food.“
