Florida microbrews?
>>>Also, if you know of any good brewpubs and/or beer bars in the Orlando
>>>vicinity. I really hope you get a decent response. When I go to Orlando the options seem to be: * British beers at the many British 'pubs' (like Old Speckled Hen or Worthingtons on tap--easy to find); * Going to someplace that sounds good like the "Orlando Ale House" only to find that the best option is a Sam Adams on tap; * Going to ABC liquors on Orange Blossom Train for the Chimay line, or some Young's beers including the Old Nick Barleywine; * Getting up to the WholeFoods in Winter Park for their semi-pricey selection of Belgians, along with the nice Belgian-style beer brewed by North Coast expressly for Whole Foods; * The Old World Market on Sand Lake where you can get a few good (though warm, with questionable shelf-time) micros including Dogfish. * The yupscale Tu-Tu Tango tapas bar on International Drive tends to have a couple decent micros on tap; sitting at the bar and having a couple of tapas while trying the best they have managed to get from wholesalers is a half-decent option. Florida tends to be a "warm weather beer" state that keeps most people in Bud or Corona country. |

Check out Big C liquors on University Blvd. in Winter Park for a great
Belgian selection with very reasonable prices. Lots of other micros too. Cheers, KB |

>>>>> Cricketers' Arms? I was there a couple years back and it has really nice atmosphere (it's not a cheesy cookie-cutter place like some of the corporate Irish pubs that are popping up all over the U.S.) and decent British beers. Have a look at the fourteen reviews at www.pubcrawler.com (where you can also read other Orlando recommendations). Here are the Cricketers reviews: http://www.pubcrawler.com/Template/R.../BrewerID=2631 Here is the complete pubcrawler Orlando listing: http://www.pubcrawler.com/Template/SearchWC.cfm |

: > I'm headed to the Orlando area next week and would like to > quaff some local brew if possible. We found the Big River Grille (franchise from TN) at Disney's Boardwalk to be not bad at all. They had a Slipstream (or somesuch - DC-3, Baby!) that at <2%abv was an acheivement all by itself. And the Brown...also not bad at all. Stout, Red, PA, none were sucky. The Brown was the winner in the "Dang!" dept, though. Service/food: Good+. And the walking/looking opportunities are nearly endless. Don't worry about The Mouse - parking is free and convenient. We didn't do the full Florida survey, but the best beer of the trip (7/05) was to be had at the Tampa Bay Brewing Company. Bit of a drive from Orlando (~1hr) but a good brewpub in a good area that tries to have a bit of New Orleans (and does it well). Bitchin' bridge on the way, too. Scott |
