    Going to visit my GF’s family in Gainesville FL for Christmas. One day we will take a day trip to Wild Florida in Kenansville which I think is south of Orlando. Looking for brewery suggestions in or around Gainesville. And also on the way back from Kenansville. I like most styles of beer so quality beer or cool taprooms are what I’m looking for. Thanks in advance

    I enjoyed Ellipsis Brewing outside Orlando on a recent trip. Not sure what route you're taking from Kenansville back to Gainesville, but if you pass their area, check them out.

    Swamp Head is another one in Gainesville.

    In Gainesville, Swamp Head and First Magnitude are the best 2. I have been hearing that Blackadder Brewing is doing some new stuff, however, i was less than impressed upon first visit. Tipple's Brews is an excellent bottle shop in Gainesville, well worth your time. It looks like the route goes through Orlando. I 2nd Ellipsis, and would definitely add Red Cypress in Orlando. 10Ten is another decent brewery in the area. I also think there is a complete thread for Orlando recommendations, so definitely search that out.

    Cypress and Grove in Gainesville is another alternative. They are brewing some very good beer in a refurbished ice house. Very relaxed setting, live music on weekends, food trucks most days. They will be closed Christmas Eve and Day, as I'm thinking the others will be also. All the G'ville breweries have websites for your viewing pleasure.

    Your drive to kenansville is not going to take you through Orlando or any of the places with breweries near Orlando unless you really add some time and miles to your route.
