    Staying on International Drive for a conference in August. I know they have a Trolley system that goes up and down International. Is there anything beside the Yard House that would be worth it?

    Orange county Brewers is opening 3 new locations.
    • Orlando International Airport: The location at OIA will open in the airport's new South Terminal C in early 2021. The 1,200-square-foot location will carry six OCB craft beers.

    • Brew Theory- A Brew Hub style contract brew facility Downtown 2018
    Brew Theory offers end-to-end contract brewing with packaging and distribution services. Step into the brewery, taproom, podcast space, or beer lab to fully experience the science of brewing in Orlando's first contract brewery. 400 Pittman St.

    Lake Mary: The 3,500-square-foot location will be the anchor tenant in the brand-new Park Lane Plaza and the first brewery in Lake Mary at 1117 International Parkway, Suite 1701. It will feature an industrial taproom design with heavy wood accents, an open floor plan allowing for the brewery to be visible from all seats, a large outdoor seating area and a food concept similar to the brewery/kitchen concept of downtown. OCB Lake Mary will carry 12 to 20 different beer varieties. It will open in October.

    Personal opinion.... wilth that the money they are spending I hopw to got the beer gets better. My first trip to OCB i was not impressed. Granted I need to give them another try.

    From speaking with a beertender from OCB. Its a small group of local investors pouring money into it. I guess there is a demand. They already have some contracts in place to brew for some local places. This place would be good for placed like Ten10 who cant keep up with demand in the taproom let along sending kegs out intot he wild.

    I just re-read everything I have typed in this thread. I realized that when I put content in this thread while I am at work, My typing is atrocious. I guess its the speed at wich I am trying to complete my thoughts. I wish BA would allow the OP on posts to edit and correct bad typing.

    Lol. I shall do better moving forward.

    Gonna be down there in August. Taking the kids to Disney/Legoland. Coming down from Boston. Used to live in Daytona 2007-2010 (& miss it dearly) but wasn't much into the beer scene back then.

    Anyway, we are renting a big house with my family in the Solterra Resort in Davenport. I won't really have a chance to hit up any beer bars or breweries so I am more looking for options I can grab & go & drink at the house.

    1) Good bottle shops or breweries with easy to go options.
    2) What beers should I look for in the bottle shops?

    Appreciate the advice. Need any pointers for Boston let me know.

    Tourist area... ABC or half barrel beer project.
    I think it's big River in Disney area. Brew their own beer in site. Head better was a guy started up a local brewery. I've not been there myself but if he makes anything like he did before... Should be good

    Grab crowlers at Ellipsis right after you get off the plane. 5 minutes from the airport. And they have video games setup to entertain the kids if you want to hangout for a pint.
