10 Best Craft Breweries near Orange City

“Eight stars if I could. Service was amazing.let me set the scene: my bathtub is being resurfaced (we live in an old apt in Sanford), my wife is out of town, and the dogs and I have to be out of the house.I scrambled for somewhere to go and I chose BSB. My server (I’m sorry I forgot your name, had dark hair and worked lunch today) took great care of us. She brought the dogs water and took good care of me. I even had to use the restroom and she watched the dogs for me for a minute!The food was great and the mex lager was fantastic. I recommend this place to everyone!“

“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!“

“This our sending time here and it has been excellent both times. No MBAT, and has the right amount of bitterness for their styles. I highly recommend trying Community Brewhouse! I have had a red ale, brown ale, and fest bier and enjoyed them all.Homebrewers take note, they know how to brew, listen to them. We 100% will return!“

“Quaint little bar located in downtown Sanford. I've always enjoyed the laidback and friendly atmosphere here. They're got a good beer selection brewed in house. There's an outdoor area with tables and benches where you can let the kids roam about. Good little place to kick back and enjoy your self.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Neatly hidden on a small side street in downtown Deland, you’ll find Persimmon Hollow brewing. Located in a former warehouse, they’ve integrated a taproom and brewery into a welcoming space that feels open, but not too vast.Unfortunately, we arrived too late to hop on the pub crawl that was taking place to support local firefighters. The place was packed and selections were a little more limited than usual, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying a pint of their flagship, Beach Hippie IPA.IG: @crafty_fireman“

“Something about this place that just makes you want to stay the whole day. It's comfy, lots of decorations to look at, has family history and their brews are all homemade in-house by the owner himself. We got two rounds of their German lager and it was delicious. We also got a four Scottish whiskey sample which I forgot most of the names, but remembered the specific Paddy's one. This one was so good that we asked our server where we can buy this in Florida. I've been to Scotland before so coming here was like reliving my best memories in Europe. Strong drinks and friendly people. I love it here!“

“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.“

“SBC is our go-to stop for lunch and a growler refill when we fly into Sanford; we've come to expect really good food and service which is what keeps us coming back. Our most recent stop was on Thursday and our server was Chris. The bar has been set high in the past, but Chris was exceptional. He chatted a little, checked in with us regularly, and was always working. Without exception, just when we would think we were ready for something, he was magically right there on the spot. Very impressive and worth noting. We had the pretzel bites and grilled mahi sandwich. Food was really good as usual, but the service was especially worthy of a shoutout.“
