9 Best Craft Breweries near Winter Garden

“Beautiful space, lovely staff, excellent menu!“

“Fantastic brews and staff are awesome. Come hungry becuse food vendors next door are epic!“

“Ive been here twice and amazed both visits. The service is something that spoke loudly to me because they are very professional, humble and even can make a joke or two with you when your here. The food is also something that is very tasteful and mouth watering. It left me desiring more although my stomach was full. Then the restaurant itself is very open and beautiful that it almost makes you wished you wore something more casual. Then the drinks are undoubtedly what makes this place so much more amazing than it already is. I can't wait for my next visit.“

“Only came here since one of my colleagues endorsed this place haha.

Recently opened within the past year, this brewery is tucked quietly within Historic Windermere. A true hole in the wall spot when driving through under 30 MPH or stuck in traffic on its Main Street on weekdays.

The “Colada Coast” (their Blonde Ale) is a unique blend of a Pina Colada drink and a typical style ale. In fairness, their beer after taking a sample of their IPA (No Barnie’s) was perfect for my palate. Yet my test of a brewery is if they can do more than an IPA it has my seal of approval. The primary drink of that evening their “Colada Coast” punches way above its weight for a blonde ale. Balanced and sweet for a typical blonde ale. But the flavors of a Pina Colada will definitely take you back to the days of vibing on the beach here in Daytona or Clearwater.

After sampling the rest of the menu (including their ales and lagers) I was blown away by the taste of many. Notably their Party Boat (a wheat beer) having your typical fruity flavors. Felt the taste of peach and apricot and way way less about the bitter.

To be fair, Jordan was a dry but flirty brewmaster! I'm all for the line drives on fun conversations. Not just the small talk chit chatter. That's to me what bars are supposed to be. A third place where coming back for a social atmosphere is the norm, not the exception!“

“We live nearby and go all the time. Why? Great beer selection, good prices for craft beer, super nice staff, and totally chill vibe. They usually have food trucks or you can bring in any food you like. They have plenty of seating considering inside and out. They also allow dogs inside, which is great when the weather sucks. Also a covered area outside. Highly recommend. They also frequent have live music or games. Check it out!“

“Sebastian was awesome. Made the best pizza. He really cares to make sure you have a wonderful experience!! Good Guy!! Ask for him when you visit!! Natasha was awesome as well. She let me try different samples to select a perfect match for me. Great atmosphere and service. Nice to see customer service to the tee!!“

“The hopping pot has a great assortment of drinks and three types of hand pies (half circle pie crust), veggies, chicken and beef. They are hand size for $10.
They sell gillywater which is just bottled water, but if you ask for a cup of water they will give you a plastic cup full of ice water for free.“

“This is another favorite relaxing location for me. I normally have 2 to 4 beers and a pretzel or food from a nearby food stand and get some people watching in and check up on my phone notifications.

The bar also plays clips from popular Simpsons episodes. Sometimes I use this area to wait for the nest showing of the horror make up show, though you should leave a little early to hit up the restrooms at ET before heading into the show..“
