Where to find the best breweries in Orlando by area

The east side of Orlando has the densest cluster. Ivanhoe Park sits in the Ivanhoe District just north of downtown, Ten10 is in Mills 50, Sideward is in the Milk District and Tactical is in Baldwin Park, so you can visit two or three in an afternoon. RockPit in SoDo and Broken Strings in Parramore cover the south and west edges of downtown, and Gravity Taproom pours pints on Orange Avenue.

West Orange County is the family-friendly beer garden zone. Crooked Can is inside Plant Street Market in downtown Winter Garden, Home State is in Horizon West, Toll Road is in downtown Ocoee and Windermere Brewing has a porch and garden in Windermere. Half Barrel serves visitors near Universal Boulevard, and Brewlando's original brewhouse is on Hoffner Avenue in southeast Orlando.

What to drink at Orlando breweries

If you like crisp, clean beer, start with Ivanhoe Park's pilsner, Crooked Can's Florida lager or Brewlando's German-style lagers. Hop fans should head to Tactical for West Coast and hazy IPAs, and sour drinkers will find fruited options at Tactical and Ivanhoe Park.

For something different, RockPit and Toll Road both make their own spirits, so you can mix in a cocktail. Sideward's 20 taps give you plenty of range in one stop, and most breweries offer flights, which are the best way to explore a new lineup. Ask what is new on the board, since RockPit releases new small-batch beers every week, Crooked Can adds rotating releases to its core styles and Sideward regularly drops new cans to go.

Tips for visiting breweries in Orlando

Food varies. Sideward, Ten10, Home State and Half Barrel have their own kitchens, Crooked Can has a food hall around it, and Ivanhoe Park, Tactical, Toll Road and Windermere rely on food trucks, so check the schedule if you are hungry.

Families and dog owners have good options: RockPit, Toll Road, Home State and Windermere all welcome dogs or kids. Many taprooms run weekly trivia, bingo, run clubs and live music, so evenings fill up and are worth checking ahead. Plan a designated driver or rideshare, and pair the West Orange Trail with a Crooked Can stop for a ride-and-pint afternoon.
