10/5/21 Winter Garden, Florida, at Plant St Market. What a beautiful place, and for today, perfect weather. Enjoyed tasting three of their beers, all of which we enjoyed thoroughly. Wish we were local so we could try what's coming up in November as well. Love the fact that there are many little places to choose from to eat. Grab your food and sit outside at a clean and welcoming patio with picnic tables and umbrellas.

Adjacent to a large food court, Crooked Can is an excellent brewery. Service has always been great, decent prices, large selection of different styles of their own beers. Good vibe with lots of outdoor seating. Only complaint - it's always crowded, but that's because of all the positive attributes.

I love this place! The beer is excellent and the outside patio is cool, breezy, dog friendly and has a great view. I highly recommend.

Crooked Can is a one end of a very nice shopping/dining complex. The place is quite open and even on a mid-week afternoon the place was hoping. Great selection of all of CC's beers all served properly and by a friendly and knowledgeable bartender. Although we didn't eat there were plenty of good looking food options in the complex. Plenty of outside seating too. I could see parking being a bit of an issue during busy times but other than that this is a great place worth a visit.

This is a very fun place with a good market and food options nearby to appease even, gasp, non-beerdrinkers. We often bring out of town visitors here because of the options and its proximity to Winter Garden's Plant Street. There is decent outdoor seating as well as a couple televisions to keep an eye on a game without being in a sports bar.

This brewery is located the end of a small market area. The market has provisions ranging from make-your-own mac'n cheese to a juice bar. The brewery has a long concrete bar plus both indoor and outdoor seating, with wi-fi. Large glass wall affords a clear view into the gleaming, exceptionally clean looking brewery operations. 16 beers on tap at the time of my visit along with at least 4 varieties available to go. Flights of 4 beers (about 5 oz pours) available at $8. 9 o and 13 oz pouts also available.

I really liked this spot, it was located in what looks like a shopping center but is actually a "market" of artisan shops and restaurants. You can see all of the brewing equipment through the glass windows behind/beside the bar, there is indoor seating, and a really nice outdoor patio. While the brewery did not offer food, there were several choices available within the little market. There were a couple of TVs showing sports inside but it did not seem like many people were actively watching the games there but rather occasionally checking the scores. The place felt lively but not overly loud, easy to carry on a conversation.
Beers were well poured using a couple of different styles of glassware appropriate to the beers (two different types of pint glass and a snifter/tulip as well as tasters for flights). The beers were served at appropriate temperatures and served with a decent amount of head (I could have gone for just a touch more head on a couple of the pours but nothing worth complaining about).
Service was friendly, engaging, and willing to offer help in deciding what you should get to drink -they offered recommendations as well as allowing me to try a couple of different samples before committing. I tried a flight and a pint on the visit.
There was a decent selection though a bit heavy on the stouts and IPAs. Beers were solid.

You pull into what looks like a quaint shopping area, and see a massive crowd that is just casually hanging around, and learn that this is a typical scene every day of the week, thanks to Crooked Can being at the tail end of this nice, food-court focused building in this cute little town.
You're essentially ordering beers at a small walk up bar, from a relatively large taplist focusing on their own brews. They have a decent variety of classic offerings without drastic variation, but what they do, they do well, and try to keep it all true to style--an absolutely shocking rarity in the Florida beer scene.

What a great find outside Orlando!! Since we have family here it was definitely on our list to check this out during our visit. Located in a newly-built "Market" off of the main boulevard. Were there on a Monday around 5. Lively and friendly ambience. About 12 taps. Nick, the bartender, didn't try to make us buy a flight as is common, which I find annoying. He just asked us "what do you like" and then immed. brought free samples. Then we ordered pints, reasonably priced arnd $6. "High Stepper" gets 5 stars for an IPA. We also tried a Kolsch and Rye IPA which were darn good. The "Five Thymes Five" eatery next-door was still open, serving tasty local farm food. Excellent burger and steak sandwich. All in all, this is a winner! Don't miss it if you are in the environs!

Great brewery for Florida!
The focus is on the brews and a couple of fine touches like out door seating, interesting glassware, large take home cans and flights.
A fresh version on the standards ; be sure to try the Blood Red Orange IPA.

This is stop #12 of 14 brewpubs for my wife and I on this one week vacation and pub crawl. WOW! We fell in love with this place. The interior vibe with the brewing equipment visible through a window-wall was greatly enhanced by the patio that is situated under giant oak trees with Spanish moss dangling over our heads. You can't ask for a more perfect setting to drink beer, thus a 5.0 Vibe rating.
There were 9 beers on tap plus two guest ciders. We ordered two 4-sampler flights plus the 9th beer so that we could try all of their beers. Each of them was brewed well in excess of their respective style so that we gave an overall grade of B to them. The most notable beer was the Barleywine, although the Strong Ale, the Hefeweizen, the Kolsch and the Amber were right behind for being considered as favorites. Overall, well done!
The pub is located in an indoor retail center with about 6 other businesses, two or three of which serve food which was ordered at their counter but delivered to our table. This was very convenient for having lunch along with these great beers, and that just rounded out our experience here. This is definitely a place to revisit if we are ever in the neighborhood again.

Stopped by the brewery with my Pops on St. Patrick's Day. They were setting up for the Celtic Festival and as it was only around 1:00 p.m. it was already busy. Walked the Plant Street Market, which the brewery is at one end, and got some lunch from The Local Butcher stand. Plenty of artisans selling there goods; really cool vibe!
The tap girl was super friendly and talked to us at length; they were expecting a huge turn out the next couple of days.
I have had their IPA before and decided to go with an Irish Red (it was St. Patty's Day after all) and Pops got their stout. Both were really good, the stout being better. Later I got their DIPA McStagger, and Pops got the Cherry Blossom Kolsch (this is brewed for Morimoto's Asia restaurant at Disney Springs) both were excellent!
They have plenty of their beers on tap so you should be able to find something! They weren't doing flights that day due to the size of the crowds and not wanting to have broken glass; completely understandable.
Will be going back soon!

After visiting Mickey, make the drive out here, definitely worth it. Place has a really cool vibe going. Big open area inside and nice outdoor seating area. Family friendly. Good beers all canned to order.

Had not been back to Winter Garden in a long time and they did a great job with this place right near the downtown area. A great open market with lots of space and seating.

Visited the brewery with Bessie on July 3...neat little place with lots of outdoor seating. The complex they are in has lots of food you can bring over to pair with your beer. Place was pretty busy...but service did not suffer because of it.
