Hi guys,

The wife and I are visiting friends in Orlando next week. I'm wondering if there are any note worthy brew-spots in the area to visit. Brew pubs? Microbreweries? etc.

This is kind of a last minute trip so I'm trying to get a little research in today before we leave tomorrow.

The Orlando Brewing Company, I think it's called, has some organic beers and even a place for kids to play. The Florida Brewing Co has some reasonable beers - Devils Triangle comes to mind. Creative brewery names in Florida.

Apparently everyone says Cigar City is a must go. It's about a hr outside of Orlando in Tampa. However you could also head to a Tampa Game while you are there.

However I just pulled this up but can't speak to any of the locations.

Untapped has a nearby tab, you could get ideas from that once you are there.

There are a few small private liquor stores in the area that have a nice selection, but if you get a chance you need to go to Total Wine. The Millennia location stocks a staggering amount of beer. There's even an entire (very large) aisle dedicated to single bottles and cans. All craft.
