I hope the city council members are watching. THIS is what residents of Minneola are wanting, not Walmart or Sam's Club! Local businesses. I have no doubt this new location will boom for years. read more

Went to check out Crooked Can's brand new massive brewery in Minneola this past weekend, and WOW, is this place impressive! With two stories spanning over 40,000 square feet, I would say that Central Florida finally has a craft brewery that is a whole destination. It's tucked away in Lake County and there's not a whole lot in the surrounding area, making this the crowned jewel of Minneola. We spent a rainy afternoon with the fam and it was really fun. The place was absolutely packed on a Sunday and there were tons of families with children running around and dogs, too. My son even made a new little friend. We sipped on some local brews including the Brown Ale and the Florida Sunshine. I like the Florida Sunshine because it's light, crisp, and refreshing. They also have multiple food stalls featuring local eateries inside such as Three Birds Cafe, Sir Benji's mini donuts, AJ's pizza joint, Braza Brazilian steakhouse, Pita Mediterranean Street Food, The Little Piggy BBQ, and Daniel's Cheesesteak House. The pizza place was super popular and had a line the entire day. We decided to order from Three Birds Cafe and got their grilled cheese with tomato bisque, hash brown bites, and a banana matcha latte. Everything was really tasty! I look forward to going back once the weather cools off (and it's not as rainy) so we can enjoy the outdoor area more. They have large open green spaces for kids to run around and even a splash pad for them to enjoy! read more

Hope I can change my review in the future when get better experience. The place it's huge, massive! But winter garden unit still 5 stars. Starting that they MUST put some fans outside and build more covered tables, was so hot! Plus the food on this unit it's meh compared to the winter garden one, we got the pulled pork fries and was nothing close to winter garden location, so mushy and oily, pulled pork was just fat. The beer selection it's also smaller than the winter garden location, just had one lager and none of Hefeweizen. Also missing the strongest beers. Place has potential, but nothing close to winter garden unit yet. read more

Build a splash pad and they will come. We are longtime patrons of the Winter Garden location. We were excited to try this new location on our way home from South Florida. I'm not sure how to describe our experience. I thought we would stop in for a beer and a bite to eat, but the whole place was overrun by toddlers, strollers, wet kids running around from the splash pad and every inch of space was full. It was sensory overload. Staff was nice, the beer was cold and delicious, but it's like every family in Minneola decided this brewery is like Disney World lite. The bathrooms were crowded and they don't have paper towels which are more sanitary. Instead, they have a weak hand dryer that blows hot air softly directly over a trash can full of dirty diapers. My curiosity was satisfied and I hope this location does well, but I wouldn't go back. I was hoping for a more chill atmosphere. Maybe it's better in the evening. read more

It's definitely a very interesting spot. It's huge! I like the food vendors they have. They have wine for those who don't want beer, but only one non-alcoholic beer, which my prego friend did not like. The outside patio did not have any fans which is kind of crazy considering how hot it can get. We were lucky to grab a table inside, you have to wipe it clean yourself they have sanitation buckets for that. Lots of kids and dogs were around so definitely family friendly, if that's what you're looking for. Food lines are long, beer lines move quick. I think adding QR codes where we can see all the options and possibly even order from our phones would help a lot.I appreciated the overflow parking. There's definitely room for improvement over all but not a bad spot to grab some food and a beer. read more

Ventured out to Crooked Can Brewery with my wife and son yesterday to check this place out for the first time and despite the rainy weather, we had a really nice time here. We went late on a Sunday afternoon and the lot was packed. Thankfully, the parking lot was huge. Speaking of huge, this place was massive and it was POPPIN' on a Sunday around 4:30/5pm. We couldn't find any seating downstairs so we went upstairs where it was a little less crowded and luckily found a place to sit at the bar. I had the Brown Ale and my wife had the Florida Sunshine (a go-to for me at their Winter Garden location) and both beers were great. We ended up getting hungry while we were there because we were having to chase around our 2-yr old son and keep him entertained. My wife ordered us food from Three Birds Cafe and got us a canned banana matcha latte and a grilled cheese with tomato bisque that we both enjoyed. I actually can't wait to go back and try the other food vendors out because they all sounded good. I also would like to go back when the weather is better but even with it down pouring, we still had a nice time. The place was clean, staff was nice, and even though it doesn't explicitly read as a kid-friendly place, we saw a TON of babies and young kids there so we will definitely be back. My son actually made a friend while we were there and also pet some nice dogs so it was a positive experience all around. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! This is such an amazing huge new space for Crooked Can. I can see us spending a lot of time meeting up here with friends and family in the future. There is so much room outside which includes a splash pad for the kids and an outdoor stage for music. Inside there are two bars downstairs as well as a bar upstairs. It is so spacious and there is SO much seating at many different tables and bars. We arrived a little after 11:00am and it was already getting pretty busy in there! There are a handful of different food vendors upstairs and downstairs and some are still in the processing of opening since this is a brand new location. We got a pizza from AJ's Pizza Point for lunch and after we had two beers we got an iced coffee and lemonade on the way out. It was all so delicious! This location is such a perfect addition to the Orlando beer scene and we cannot wait to come back! read more

This Crooked Can is newly opened. Had the opportunity to visit on their first weekend open and boy were they packed. The parking lot is spacious and we still struggled to find a parking space. The posted capacity for the inside was about 580 I think and they had to be there because inside there was not enough seating for the amount of guests. The inside has two levels. There are two bars on the ground level and another bar at the top level. There are food venues throughout. All of the food venues were not open on this visit. There was also a balcony/patio on the top level. Some really nice views. And from either level you can see into the brewing area which was cool. What I was most impressed about was the level of service. There were lines for everything and yet the waits were less than a few minutes. They were staffed well and prepared for the crowds. Also, they were using glassware and they kept up with busing and cleaning. I have been to places just as big and they did not operate at this level of efficiency. Outside when entering there was a stage with live music and there was even a kind of water park with fountains to cool off in. There was also a good amount of seating outside. No beer reviews on this visit. Although I had a good many beers, they were all one's I had at the other location. But I will give a shout out to Space Cowboi hazy IPA which is one of my favorites from Crooked Can. read more

This is definitely going to be a great space. In the soft opening stage, I'm excited to come back and see what this spacious location will bring. From plentiful parking, an outdoor splash pad for kids and about 6 or so eatery stations divided between the first and second levels. Which are not all opened at this time. But they do have a food truck outside to help stabilize your cravings. Not to worry, Crooked Can is fully functional and has great service and solid beer to enjoy. Very family friendly, I can definitely see myself coming back and enjoying all that is coming. Cheers read more

We recently checked out the brand-new Crooked Can location in Minneola, and we're excited to watch this place grow! Having only opened a few weeks ago, it's still very much in its early stages, with only a handful of the food concepts open at the moment. However, there are many more food stations coming soon, and it's easy to see the vision for what this space will become. The venue itself is absolutely massive and can comfortably accommodate a large crowd. There is plenty of seating throughout, three bars with beer on tap, and multiple TVs playing sports, making it a great spot to gather with friends and family. We especially loved the outdoor area, which featured a food truck and a splash pad for the kiddos--a thoughtful touch that makes this a destination for all ages. Even in its early days, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. It's clear that once all of the vendors are up and running, this will become a staple in the Minneola community. We're looking forward to coming back over the next several months to watch the progress and try all of the new food options as they open. Crooked Can has an exciting future ahead, and we can't wait to see it flourish! read more

We were so excited to come and it exceeded our expectations. The location was huge, there was an elementary school event that day which brought in tons of families and it was fun to see the whole facility being used and I loved that they gave 20% of drink proceeds back to the elementary school. The food businesses we had were just mid, the cheesesteak and donuts. You can't go wrong with AJ's pizza but we frequent the winter garden one and wanted something different. My husband had a few beers and liked them, I had two elderberry ciders and they were sooooo yummy. I'm hoping they have that flavor again when we come back! read more

Braza food was excellent. Family had Daniel's cheesesteak and enjoyed though a bit salty. It was packed but we were able to get two tables for our large group on the outside patio upstairs. But damn go being in Central Florida in the summer you would think there would be fans!! It was hotter than hell out and stagnant air on the patio didn't help. Get some fans on the patios please. I would give it 5 stars if there were fans. But with outside heat index of 105° and no fans.... read more

Great beer, atmosphere and food choices to please your desires for the day! We have been there for soft opening and just a week later several more food spots opened and now you get to enjoy pizza, cheesesteaks, brazza spot and more. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more
