    I have been hearing that most ABC stores and Total Wines are getting multiple cases of variants. I think it you go tot he closest one you should be fine. There are some places doing events. Shamrock Beverage, GBs bottle shop, Aardvark Beverage to name a few.

    Is Shamrock? I asked Neil like 3 days ago and he said he hadn't heard from them yet and didn't know if he would. That could just him being himself though.

    Tap and grind closing really sucks. Best tap list downtown. Now it’s really just world of beer which isn’t exactly close to Amway, church street, orange.

    You should have no issue here. Orlando gets a crap ton. Picked up several variants a week after release last year.

    Somehow forgot about Domu, it’s fantastic, and you can swing over to Gideons to get some life changing cookies while your waiting for a table

    I know it's not Orlando, but you seem pretty knowledgable about the area so I'll ask. Is there anything in the Cocoa Beach area?

    Florida Beer Company (widely distro in FL)
    Dirty Oar Brewing
    BugNutty Brewing
    Best in the area is IntraCoastal but its in Melbourn
    Playlinda has two locations. Food at the Brix location is great. (titisville)

    I will be flying into Orlando right before christmas, going on a cruise the next day. I would love to make it to ellipsis again, I was there last year before the official opening, and really enjoyed it. Last year, I got in at noon, so it was worth me getting a rental car, this year....not so much. I don't get in until almost 7 at night, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to get there for cost effective; since MCO doesn't allow normal ubers pick up at the airport, it costs an arm and a leg.

    Does anyone know of a nearby hotel or rental car place, so I can take a free shuttle and walk or uber for a fair price? Kind of a weird ask, but wasn't sure if anyone has ever done this before.

    Didn't end up making to any breweries. But, I did try a few beers at restaurants. You were right Intracoastal was the best. I had Playalinda and Florida Beer Co, not bad. The beer stores in Cocoa Beach on the other hand, oooof. Bad, just bad. Got burned by not checking dates, DIPA from March.

    yeah... I have found that even the largest stores don/t pay attention to dates and the distro dont take beer back from what I understand.

    Any bourbon county vanilla bottles still floating around Orlando? Syracuse, NY is a beer wasteland. Missed out on all variants. Thanks!

    Ellipsis is the only brewery in Orlando that will come close to scratching your itch for a hazy ipa and they always have like 10 on.

    I did like the hazy Tactical had on, but they have been in soft opening and only open limited weekend hours with only 5 or so beers on. They might be fully open by now though.

    Noth of Orlando in Winter Springs there is a brewery called Red Cypress that has been hit and miss with hazy IPAs. Some really good and some wtf. But the wtf mostly come from trying to make weird shakes or showcasing hops that aren’t common.

    To sum it up there are no can’t miss breweries in Orlando. Ellipsis is the closest thing we have.
