    Good service and good vibes. The bar is expanding soon so the coziness may not be as present next time I come here. The beers are a little out there with a lot of focus on IPAs, which I'm not huge on, but they have a lot of options still. I was hoping for a sour, but they had nothing this time around. Still the bartender gave me samples so I can fine tune what I wanted. Overall great service.

    Fun times last weekend at Bowigens Beer Company with my son. He enjoyed a flight of different brews, which allowed him to explore a variety of flavors. I opted for the Excelsior Imperial Mango, and it was absolutely delicious--refreshing with a perfect balance of mango sweetness. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the bartender was so friendly, which made our experience even better. I loved that they were playing Raiders of the Lost Ark on their tv because me and my son are film geeks. Kicked off a convo about the greatest directors of all time. Highly recommend this place for a fun Saturday night!

    Food menu July 2026

    We visited over the weekend to see the new expansion and try the new food menu. Having a young child we find breweries to be a good spot to hang out. So we were hopeful the food menu would be good. Well I'm not saying it's terrible, but it definitely needs work. I'm hoping it's just while they get their bearings with offering food. But it seems like it's very simple kitchen appliances like crockpots and some sort of toaster oven for the flatbreads. Steve behind the bar was great though, answered our many questions and was patient. Beer is always good here! We also love the expansion, it's created more space and more light.

    I wouldn't call myself a regular but I have been here on numerous occasions since they opened and what I love about Bowigens is the consistent quality of their beer and the helpfulness / friendliness of the staff. There are always a decent range of options on tap to suit any beer style preference. They will take the time to talk to you about the beer and help you make the right choice if you are unsure. Some of my favorites are the 7 Layer Stout, Bomb Pop, Hefe'n Awesome and the Omne Trium Perfectum. If you have not been check them out at this location on their Avalon Park Marketplace location.

    Think about how a great neighborhood brewery would be and then raise that bar! That's what Bowigens means to me. The bartenders are spot on with their recommendations on the vast assortment of banging bevs. Speaking of, their beer names are almost as good as the beer itself! Every time I'm in the area I make an excuse to convince my wife to come in and grab a brew and some to go cans.

    This is my second visit in less than a month. Each time I go I get a flight and take home a four pack. Bowigens offers great music, a nice low lit atmosphere and delicious variety of ales and select wines. You're welcome to bring food or conveniently order from the pizza place next door. The staff are friendly and give you the great balance of attention yet letting you be. This is definitely my "cheers", I plan on returning and sharing my experience with others. You should too.

    Love this place. Great local beers, kind people, and a fun atmosphere. We live nearby so we pop over for fun events and happenings that always seem to be going on. This is definitely one of our favorite local breweries.

    Took my wife and daughter to get their nails done down the road and knew I had to waste some time but didnt wannta get fucked up within an hour so then I remembered about this place that I wanted to check it out! Very happy I did and every single beer was so good. Kind of surprised since its in a shopping center all the way at the end so it doesnt seem like it would be cared for . I had a flight of 5. 407 Pils Regular, Avalon Park, Premium Dancer, BirdLaw, and the 7 Layer Stout. All very very good and def need to head back for more than just a flight, maybe 3. The seating is small but they have a small patio out front as well. Bartender was cool, not much was going on at 12p on a Saturday.

    Great selection of beer! This was my first time here. I tried coming here 2 times before during the start of covid but they weren't serving and then they only did take out. This was the first time I was able to go in. They have some outdoor seating in the front. The location is convenient, right off Red bug lake road and semoran road, in a shopping center. I tried a flight of beers and they let you choose and rate each of the beers as well. The presentation was beautiful and they organize it in the correct order that the beers should be drank (drunk?). I am a huge fan of their staff and their beer!! Great brewery! I'm coming back!!

    GO HERE! The beer is always changing and delicious. The service is always wonderful. The ambiance is a traditional brewery, with good music and intimate seating areas. It's a weekly staple.

    Cute place, decent beer. I stopped here while waiting for a pizza order from next door. They had three sours on tap which made me happy - I'm a sour beer lover and they've been hard to find in Orlando this year. I thought the flavors were pretty creative and brave, although for the most part they were fun to try once but not something I would buy again. The jalapeño hibiscus was a very interesting flavor combination, very herbal and savory. I tried a few others and thought they were all ok - nothing I wanted to take with me. It's a small space and was very loud while I was there; that was probably made louder by one person in particular who seemed only capable of scream-talking while very drunk :) I'd go back

    Hidden gem for sure ! The bar staff was extremely helpful and accommodating when I was indecisive about what beer I wanted. They have some really high ABV selections also which is always a bonus for me! Outside seating was a plus too.

The parking situation isn't the best, there's very limited parking in the front lot of the brewery but there is a lot behind the building if it's full, and it can get full so just be prepared to walk a bit if it's busy. Inside, there's a solid amount of seating with a relaxed, casual vibe. They also have games you can play while hanging out, which makes it a great place to spend a couple hours with friends. What really stands out is the selection. They have a huge variety of beers (something for everyone), plus ciders, non-alcoholic options, and even soda. It's one of those places where everyone in your group will be able to find something they like. They don't serve food, but you're allowed to bring your own, which is a big plus. There's a wing spot just a few doors down that makes it super convenient to grab something and bring it back. They also host events throughout the week, my personal favorite is Wednesday night bingo. It's always a fun crowd and a good midweek activity. Overall, it's a great local brewery with a welcoming vibe, tons of drink options, and fun things to do.

Citrus City Craft was selling some special cocktails outside, and I saw the berry bourbon catching my eye. I had to go with that.

The bourbon they used was indeed high quality as the booziness lasted almost an hour. Though, thankfully I was still good enough do two rides on the mechanical bull and last for a decent account of time. And what was amazing about the drink was the cost, just 8 bucks! I would have expected to pay at least 10 dollars or more for a great quality drink for a special event, but 8 dollars was quite a steal. While I didn't go inside the restaurant/bar, I just enjoyed the outdoor entertainment at the strip mall, and tried the cocktail.

It tasted sour, but pretty enjoyable. It had hints of mango and guava too. When the tour started, they mentioned it included a free beer, which the other guests took during the tour, but I decided to wait for my free beer after the tour. The tour of the brewery was quite informative, with our guide mentioning the process, the devices, history, and how they work with other independent breweries to partner and not compete. The only competition are the big ones like Anheuser, Coors, etc. The brewery area was small and the tour lasted 45 minutes, but very informative and interesting.

I knew that Hollerbach's had a brewhouse where you can purchase everything you need to become a home brewer but I had no idea that they opened up this little taproom inside. They offer a variety of beers - Golden Lager, German Fest Beer, Irish Red Ale, Hazy IPA, Cran-Apple Sour, Double IPA, Belgian Tripel Ale, Belgian Strong Ale, and a Nitro Imperial Stout. They were also carrying several other local breweries brews, and they offer flights if you want to sample a little of everything. Pricing is on par with most other breweries in the area and you can even purchase smaller samples $3.50-$5.00 depending on the brew. I ordered the Krampus Belgian Strong IPA ($7.50) in spirit of the event going on and the guy at the counter gave me two cups half full. I asked him if he did that because of the foam and he said it was because they are 8oz servings due to the ABV percent is high. I understand that but why are you giving me two?
