• Pinewoodblue 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Don't waste your time, and money We arrived at World of Beers at the scheduled time, even received a reminder 24 hours earlier, but they didn't show. On checking their website they are taking a hiatus( their word not mine) and restructuring. Guess that is a nice way of saying they have gone out of business. Message on website is dated July, a few days after the latest review on here, the staff at World of Beers, which is a great place by the way haven't seen them for ages. The reminder we received was robotic, sent by the people who manage their website. Read more Written November 29, 2016

See what people are saying!

"The brew bus was a big hit for transportation to and from our wedding @ Florida Avenue Brewing. We hired them for transportation to/from four hotels and they made sure everyone got to the venue on time, and even made sure they didn’t leave any of us behind on the way home! Mike and the team were easy to work with, friendly, and Brittany even went out of her way at the end of the night to bring my friend her purse that was left on the bus. Everyone had a fun time and couldn’t stop talking about the brew bus."

"Bootleggers Brewing CO's Mug Club worked with Mike from Brew Bus to create a private experience. He was very flexible and attentive to our needs and made the process very easy! The club had an absolute blast and asked when we could do it again! I highly recommend Brew Bus tours for any event!"

"My very first time on the Local Loop, and the experience was "super stellar". We were a group of 11 awesome women plus our driver Mrs.Penny made us all feel welcomed. In other words "women ruled this tour". Beautiful sunny weather and all the places we visited were "outstanding". My favorite was BARRIEHAUS and the selection of local beers. And the patio where we played "corn toss" lots of fun. Yes I'd do it again, and I highly recommend."

"We booked a custom tour with Mike and his team the day after our wedding (10/10 recommend) and it was an amazing time. We had just under 40 people and had three brewery stops and one food stop. The team executed everything flawlessly and our entire group had a wonderful time. If you're considering taking a tour with these guys, just book the ticket now. It's a blast!"

"I scheduled a private Brew Bus for my fiancé and his friends as a surprise Bachelor Party. They had the best time! Mike was super communicative in helping me plan the stops. The driver, Barry, and Beertender were great! 10/10 across the board. Now I want to plan one that I can go on!"

"My bachelor party and I had a great time on our brewery tour! The beer attendant and our driver were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and breweries. The beer we had on the bus and breweries were very good. 3 Daughters brewery even had a buy a sandwhich get a free beer deal which was awesome for our group. Another thing we loved about this trip is that we could pick breweries in different areas giving us the options of seeing more places while we were in town (we had never been to the tampa area for the most part). We really liked the St. Pete area and would recommend that to others who plan on visiting."

Check Out Central Florida’s Ale Trail

For those who think nirvana is drinking a pint—or three—of craft beer right where it’s made, Central Florida brewers have blazed the trail for you. The first Central Florida Ale Trail map is now available, guiding you to breweries located from DeBary to Orlando, Sanford to Clermont.  They even have a prize for those who visit all of the locations on the map.

But we’ve all been so busy brewing and getting established that it’s only been in recent months we’ve come together as a community.  The Central Florida Ale Trail is one of the exciting outcomes of that association.”

You can pick up the Central Florida Ale Trail map at any of the participating breweries. The list is on the Central Florida Ale Trail map Facebook page . A link to the Google map with the locations of the operating breweries (green) and breweries in planning (red) is here .

The map helps craft beer lovers plan the best routes to visit all 16 operational breweries and points out the future locations of five additional “breweries in planning.” Enjoying a beer in one of the operational breweries’ tap rooms enables you to get your map stamped. Collecting all 16 stamps earns you a special 64 oz. growler at your last stop—and discounted growler fills at any location in the future. “Rewards are subject to change over time,” advises St. Pierre. “So if growlers are your thing, you’ll want to get started soon.”

Central Florida breweries offer a wide variety of quality craft beer styles and enjoy sharing the culture of their growing community. To encourage responsible drinking, there is no time limit for completing the trail. Central Florida brewers remind their customers to drink responsibly.  For more information go to  http://centralfloridaaletrail.com/

Best breweries in Orlando

1.  Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company

One of our favorite spots to sit back and have a cold beer is Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company. You might know this brewery from the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival’s Appley Ever After Sour, which was a collaboration with the owners of the apparel company The Lost Bros , but the brewery is a lot more than a festival beer tap. The tasting room is open daily where the brewmasters and bartenders are serving everything from blonde ales to porters. The brewery is also known for its fun special release brews which pop up throughout the year.

2.  Park Pizza and Brewing Company

The Lake Nona neighborhood is one of the fastest-growing areas in Orlando, and one spot to be seen in the area is Park Pizza and Brewing Company. The industrial-style restaurant and brewery is known for its incredible hand-tossed pizzas and perfectly crafted beers. Throughout the year the brews that are made here rotate so there’s always something different to try. Our favorite is a coffee-infused lager, which is perfect for Sunday brunch. If you can’t decide what beer to get you can always get a flight to try a bit of everything.

3.  Crooked Can Brewing Company

One of the most popular breweries in Orlando is Crooked Can Brewing Company in Winter Garden.

After the tour, grab a pint and enjoy the warm Florida sunshine that comes through the open windows of the bar while you watch TV or chat with locals.

4.  The Ravenous Pig Brewery

Winter Park is a thriving food neighborhood and one spot that is constantly full is The Ravenous Pig. Since opening, the restaurant has also added a brewery to its location where you can enjoy beer and great food inside the taproom or outside on the sunny patio. The beer here is all made in small batches and is closely monitored by brewmaster Larry Foor. The Ravenous Pig Brewery has some year-round brews including Lone Palm Golden Ale and Working Man Porter, along with seasonal favorites that often sell out in weeks.

The brewery is even catering to those with lactose intolerances with its No Regerts sour with is brewed with maltodextrin instead of lactose, and tastes like acai berry.

7.  Tactical Brewing Company

Tactical Brewing Company is known for its slogan as a “strategically chaotic beer.” The brewery was founded by veterans who strive to make craft beer and a cool spot for other veterans and first responders to hang out and form a community outside of work. Each of the beers here tends to push the boundaries of what craft beer can be. One of the more unique options is the Head The Black Spot imperial black lager that is aged on panacea oyster shells.

8.  Whisper Creek Farm: The Brewery

At Grande Lakes Orlando you’ll find the nano-brewery, Whisper Creek Farm: The Brewery. Here you can enjoy the signature honey and citrus ale, the Surplus, where the honey was sourced from the resort’s on-site apiaries.

Orlando Breweries

Orlando loves beer — and the rise of microbreweries makes us love it even more. In fact, Orlando visitors and locals enjoy beer so much that over the past decade, dozens of acclaimed craft breweries have popped up to slake our thirst with new options debuting regularly.

Discover: Orlando Nightlife

As a result, it's easy to build a day trip — or even an entire vacation — around bespoke breweries in Orlando with amazing ales, superb stouts and other killer concoctions. Bottoms up.

The following breweries are in the City of Orlando and Orange County, and they are all delicious.

Big Storm Brewing Company

Kia Center, Downtown Orlando

There’s a new reason to attend professional sports, concerts and other experiences at downtown Orlando’s Kia Center, and it has nothing to do with the action on the court. Based in Tampa, Florida, Big Storm Brewing Company has a Kia Center location that’s open even when the venue isn’t hosting events, which means beer-lovers can visit seven days a week.

Discover : Orlando Sports

One thing that sets Big Storm apart from other local breweries is a lineup of coffees made with locally roasted beans using the same attention to quality that they give to their beers. Options include Florida-infused flavors such as Tangerine IPA, Golden Ale, Gulf Coast IPA and many more, making each visit to the Kia Center a delicious affair.

Broken Strings Brewery

Crooked Can Brewing Company

Winter Garden

It could be argued that Crooked Can Brewing Company is the heart of Winter Garden, a charming, historic community about 30 minutes west of downtown Orlando and 25 minutes north of Walt Disney World ® Resort. The reason being, Crooked Can anchors Plant Street Market, which houses an eclectic collection of eateries and retailers and is the centerpiece of the city's main strip, Plant Street.

Discover :  Things to Do in Winter Garden

Then again, maybe we're just promoting Crooked Can as Winter Garden's heart because we really like their beer. No matter your preferred style — stouts, Irish reds, lagers, IPAs, Belgian ale or others — Crooked Can probably brews a version. And their offerings go great with food from Plant Street Market's vendors, including barbecue, donuts, sushi, pizza and pierogis.

In addition to making its own beer, the microbrewery and brew pub brings in suds from other local producers. Half Barrel Beer Project is also a bottle shop, carrying a selection of rare beers from across the world.

Ivanhoe Park Brewing Co.

An independent craft brewery and tasting room, Ivanhoe Park Brewing Co. is an anchor of the popular Ivanhoe Village Main Street district, less than 10 minutes from downtown Orlando.

The staff is also committed to educating the public about the joys of craft beer.

Audubon Park

There are a lot of tasty reasons to visit Orlando's trendy Audubon Park Garden District, about 15 minutes from downtown, and this local haunt is one of them.

More importantly, this brewery has earned a rabid following with lots of plans for expansion. It's also one of the few local breweries with a female brewmaster, who's known for creative recipes with unique flavors.

Porters, lagers,  witbiers , blonde ales and IPAs — including a green tea variety — are among Orange County Brewers' concoctions, and they usually have a guest tap or two. The beers are complemented by a robust events schedule, including brunches, trivia and even a beer flight school.

Oviedo Brewing Company

Located at the Oviedo Mall, about 30 minutes north of Orlando’s tourism districts, Oviedo Brewing Company has a hardy lineup of brews for you to enjoy, including their Barnyard Blonde (blonde ale), Ovideo-Zen ( Hefeweizen ), Mama Samba (IPA Imperial) and more.

The brews pair perfectly with their food menu and fun events such as weekly trivia nights. They’re also up for hosting memorable private events.

Sanford Brewing Company

Part of the dining and nightlife lineup in Sanford's historic downtown area, about 40 minutes north of our tourism districts, Sanford Brewing Company is a brewery combined with a 100-plus-seat taproom and gastropub. They serve house-made and Florida-produced beer, cider, mead and even handcrafted sodas through 23 taps, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients.

Sanford Brewing welcomes all groups with a kid- and dog-friendly environment that includes outdoor seating and live music on weekends. The food menu features gourmet takes on pub-food favorites, plus a special menu for children. And now, they have a second location in Maitland.

WOP’s HOPS BREWING COMPANY

Wop's Hop Brewing Company is a microbrewery specializing in English-style ales, located about 40 minutes north of Orlando’s tourism districts. They offer craft ales, a selection of wines and sodas, and a dog-friendly beer garden that's perfect for relaxing while enjoying the house brews. Parents are welcome to bring children, too.

The team at Wop's Hops is very particular about what they put in their beer, going so far as to ban high-fructose corn sugars, GMOs and additives from their brewing process. You won't go hungry here, either, thanks to pub-friendly food offerings that include menus for kids and even dogs.

SeaWorld Orlando offering free beer for 60th anniversary

S eaWorld is celebrating it’s 60th anniversary and, to help patrons get in the celebratory spirit, free beer is being offered at the parks, including SeaWorld Orlando.

With the park’s 7 Seas Food Festival already in high gear, SeaWorld is offering each guest a complimentary draft beer at the Waterway Grill Patio between 11 a.m. and one hour prior to park closure (closing times range from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Check the schedule here ).

Guests are limited to one free beer per day, unless you’re a SeaWorld annual passholder, in which case you can belly up to the bar for two freebies.

The Orlando Sentinel reports the park is also launching a Happy Hour on Wednesdays, which runs from 4 p.m. until park close each day. During happy hour, draft beer and cocktails are buy one/get one free.

SeaWorld says the free beer offer is for a limited time, but hasn’t announced when last call will be.

The Sentinel notes free beer at SeaWorld dates back to when the park was owned by Busch Entertainment, a division of Anheuser-Busch, with the company often making samples of its products available to park-goers. The 60th anniversary celebration is tied to the opening of the first SeaWorld in San Diego in 1964.

SeaWorld Orlando opened on Dec. 15, 1973, a little over two years after neighboring Walt Disney World.

Things To Do

Theme parks.

Free beer is returning to SeaWorld Orlando, this time as part of the company’s celebration of its 60th birthday.

Theme park guests can now receive one 7-ounce draft from the Waterway Grill Patio daily 11 a.m. until one hour before the park closes. SeaWorld’s annual passholders are eligible for two 7-ounce pours per day.

SeaWorld also is introducing a Happy Hour Wednesdays promotion. It’s a buy one/get one free deal for draft beer and cocktails at the park’s Glacier and Waterway bars. The happy hour’s hours are 4 p.m. until park close.

The free beer deal is a limited-time offer, although SeaWorld has not announced when the last day will be.

Waterway Grill is located in the area past the entrance to the Infinity Falls water ride.  The building also houses the pass-member lounge. Glacier Bar is near the Ice Breaker roller coaster.

Consumers, of course, must be at least 21 years old.

SeaWorld Orlando is in the midst of its Seven Seas Food Festival, which is held Thursdays-Sundays through May 19.

Free beer is a recurring offer at SeaWorld. It dates back at least to the era when the park was owned by Busch Entertainment Co., a division of Anheuser-Busch, and the company’s products were frequently available for sampling. The brewer got out of the theme-park business in 2009, although it remains in the name of Busch Gardens theme parks, including one in Tampa.

SeaWorld is celebrating the opening of its first park. It debuted in San Diego in 1964. SeaWorld Orlando opened in 1973.
