9 Best Craft Breweries near Orange City

“The new management and staff is great and treated us as a valuable customer Great change 👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“We had a fantastic experience at Central 28! We held an event there to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary and the entire experience was great! The owners, management, and the bartenders were wonderful to work with. I recommend having your next event at Central 28 and supporting our local brewery.“

“So glad we stopped by this smaller brewery. The beers were excellent, and we even decided to order some garlic knots from the pizza joint next door. The bartender was delightfully sassy, which made the experience even more fun. The place has a great atmosphere and plenty of seating.“

“Better than Cheers! Ted Danson is envious of the bar tenders at hyderhead“

“We were there yesterday. We wanted to take home in a growler some black IPA that was on tap. To our surprise. we could not do it since they would not allow that specific beer for takeout. Disappointing!“

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