    Sure there are. I'm gone for the summer but they're out there. Check out Redlight Redlight by Winter Park, it likely has more than a few regulars from BA and some other sites

    I plan for this thread was, Once a month at the WOB in Lake Mary a group of about 10 of us get together and have a tasting. We each bring a bottle or 2 of stuff you may not be able to readily get on Orlando or stuff that we have aged. The first one I brought a 94 SA Triple Bock, and there as '11 utopias there. Since we have had some off the wall imports and some good local stuff (not local to us).

    The tasting isn't anything serious, we pass the bottle take a sample and go from there!

    There will be another one at the end of June and if you would like to attend let me know. No cost, just bring a bottle or 2 and buy a couple of beers from the bar so they dont kick us out.

    Cheers

    I'm not far from Apopka. I live in mt dora area and would live to get with some people who enjoy good beer. Hell illeven have some BAs over to my house. I have enough beer to supply 10 people. Count me in on the tasting each month and Lerner know if y'all would want to trade off doing parties at each others houses.

    I just moved from Apopka/Wekiva area to Orange City for a job. I'm definitely in for this. Unfortunately I'm working June 24th, but I've got every other weekend off so I'd be down for another time or place.

    It all depends on what your budget is and I suppose how close you want to be to your workplace.
    I live in Winter Park and love it!
