Want a brewery with a great beer, cocktail and food selection? Look no further than Orange County Brewers! This brewery has a great selection of brews and also serves cocktails for those non beer drinkers. Their happy hour is really good as well with $7 cocktails and cheaper beer. Then they also have food partners with Tin and Taco as well as Sodough square pizza. While there we got the pizza which was fresh and delicious, probably one of the better pizzas I've had. The ambiance is your typical brewery feel with lots of space and seating around as well as tvs to watch. But honestly the only complaint we had was the server we had as she had an attitude and I was using my pub pass for a free beer which she charged me for then said she couldn't do a refund. But then the bartender said they could refund it, showing the waitress misspoke and also gave us a coupon for next time. The service by the waitress almost ruined it but we may go back. read more

I came here after an appointment. I was super excited to try it since several friends told me how good it was. I got a beer flight to start. All the beers were excellent. I then got a pick your own taco adventure. I got the burrito with Mac and cheese, ground beef , bacon and green onions. I was like oh man this is gonna be good. I was very disappointed. It was 95 percent rice, hardly any of the other fillings what so ever. It was also quite dry and I needed a side of sour cream. The wait staff was horrible. The waiter kept disappearing for long periods of time. At one point I decided to time it. I did not see him around for 6 minutes. I would come back again for the beer but that is it. read more

I'm confused, is this Orange County Brewers or Tin and Taco (This review is copied from the Tin and Taco posting). Well, according to the sign in the place it is both. Service was awesome. Though I'm not sure who designed the flight cards. Write your beer names in the little circles. Yeah, that doesn't work well. However, beyond that everything was perfect. The menu is kind of cool allowing you to basically pick your build out in served in eight different ways. Yes, EIGHT. For me the NOTORIOUS P.I.G. - SMOKED PULLED PORK / CRAFT BEER QUESO / LETTUCE / SPICY BOOM SAUCE / SALSA ROJA / COTIJA - in the form of a grilled burrito was a hit. The beer is great too. Better than expected. Plus, with outdoor seating and live entertainment on certain days, this place looks like it would be different levels of fun depending on when you come. read more

Orange County Brewers is fun brewery that has a variety of house made beers and tasty food. I didn't try all the food as my Groupon was food a beer float but what I did try was the beer cheese mac and cheese and it was delicious. I wish I had more time to try some other items as they smelled delicious. I was well taken care of sitting at the bar too. The restaurant has an open concept and you can see the entire kitchen too. I would come back but only hope they have more beers on tap this time as many were sold out. read more

What a lively place. It wasn't anything like I was expecting. It was large, open and bright. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, complete with a DJ that was playing in the afternoon. The music was loud-ish and diverse. At times I felt like I was in a nightclub. Our bartender was nice, but very busy. I should probably write two reviews, one for TIN & TACOS, that is connected to the brewery. They had a pretty large menu that you could cater to your specific taste. It must have been very popular, because everyone was eating, and the portions looked pretty large. We only had chips and queso dip though. The beers were very good, and you can always get a flight so you're not limited to one or two styles. They were big on the wheat beers. Oddly, it seemed to be a family friendly place, as there were kids of all ages. So come one, come all, and bring your apatite. read more

Just passing through-on our Hop Passport-so thought we'd stop for a beer. Super clean and bartender was very nice. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, as well as tvs all around. Would be a good place to catch a game. My favorite beers are American Ambers (think Yuengling)...no reds here on tap, so opted for the Mexican Lager-good crisp flavor. Hubby prefers Stouts, so he opted for "Bean Girls"- Great coffee flavor! read more

My husband and I loved our visit here and will definitely be returning. The inside of the brewery has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of bar seating, which is great because we always love to sit at the bar but most places never have enough space. The inside has that industrial open feel, and the tanks are behind the bar which adds cool aesthetic appeal. There are definitely plenty of options for every kind of beer drinker. I found some of their beers to be pretty creative and unique too. My husband settled on a jalapeño lager which was actually delicious, with just enough of that underlying spiciness while still being light and refreshing. I went with their blueberry lager. It had a tiny hint of sweetness but was in no way overkill like a lot of blueberry beers I've had and balanced nicely to make for a refreshing and delicious flavorful light beer. The brewery also has a Tin and Taco inside. We weren't going to get anything to eat, but our bartender insisted we had to try it at least once since we've never had their tacos. I am so glad he recommended that, because the tacos we got were some of the best tacos I've ever had. We got the two taco combo which let us mix and match taco flavors. We tried the Buffalo chicken taco and the brisket taco, both of which were amazing!! The brisket taco was my favorite. The taco shell was grilled and crusted with Parmesan cheese outside, then had huge chunks of tender brisket with all kinds of toppings and this spicy sweet sauce. It made for an amazing bite. The tacos were huge, so for $8, you couldn't beat it. Our bartender was friendly, the brewery was warm and welcoming, and the beers and food were delicious. Definitely a place to return to. read more

I recently got a message from Jeff, the new owner/manager of Orange County brewers inviting me to come in and try this place again after a very underwhelming experience a year ago... so I gathered up a few friends and went in to see what it was all about... The interior and exterior was relatively unchanged... which is fine because this place does have a cool vibe. We got there around 7:30pm and it was packed inside (it was too cold to eat outside so for us it was inside or nothing). We lucked out however and there was a large party wrapping up so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. We were greeted by our server who immediately brought over water while we were perusing the new menu. (Instant brownie points for this... if you read my previous review you would understand). The menu was unique and fun... a cool urban spin on tacos... there was an acoustic singer performing too... not sure if they have live music every night, we went on a Friday and he was quite good! Ordered a few beers and munched on some chips and dips while waiting for our food... didn't take too long which was good bc we were hungry. The food came out on tin trays (hence the name tin & taco) and the portions were quite large. I got the ahi tuna nachos and they were delicious! Super fresh! Oh did I mention they make the chips fresh so they come out and they are warm and crispy! My partner for the Buffalo chicken on greens and it was also full of flavor and quite large.... consensus from the table was "very good! HUGE improvement from our previous experience and we will come again!" Overall hats off to Jeff and the staff for a nice turnaround. This place has a great vibe and cool ambience and the menu is fun and different! Well done!! If you're in Lake Mary and looking for a cool place to chill, have a few beers and hang with some friends definitely come check this place out! read more

My wife and I stopped into this brewery last Sunday afternoon in hopes to get a good beer and a quick bite to eat. Upon arrival, we were not greeted by anyone so we seated ourselves (I believe this is the norm). The brewery/restaurant (Orange County Brewers/Tin & Taco) is well lit and beautifully put together. They use an industrial-style interior design where you can see all the conduit, sprinkler pipe, and ductwork, but balance the layout with wooden paneling and tables. Although it aesthetically serves the purpose of the theme, it can get quite loud in here, especially since the floors are tile and the roof is metal. Our server Jennifer came by a few minutes after we sat down to take our drink order. We ordered the Black Hop's Down ($6.42) which is a lager crossbred with a Stout. This was a great drinking beer; plenty of stout smoothness without being too heavy yet somehow carried the refreshing crispness of a lager. Jennifer informed me that there are no paper menus and that we need to scan the QR code located on the table display to view their menu items. Unfortunately, my cell phone provider is not top-notch, and to add to the latency issues the metal roof would not allow me to get even one bar of service while sitting inside the venue. After going outside to pull up the menu items, we noticed that prices were not listed on the menu app (WTF!). We decided that we would seek out alternate avenues for dinner instead of trying out Tin & Taco at the brewery. I understand that the establishment is attempting to minimize touching surfaces, but it would be easier to put the menu on one of the many monitors hanging throughout the restaurant verses encouraging the customer to use a QR code, then fumble through an unfamiliar app when they are trying to enjoy an afternoon out. Additionally, there was live music taking place which was overwhelmingly loud due to the hard surfaces and metal roof. I laugh as I look back on this and think about how Jennifer my wife and I are talking loudly through masks as the musician is jamming out to The Police. I am very interested in returning with my work buddies to have a few drinks and food soon, but I don't think this was a good place for a lunch date on this specific day. There is a lot of potential here and the beer was delicious. Although we were only here for a short time, I felt that the staff were friendly, the establishment was clean, and because of this, I plan to give them another chance as soon as the opportunity presents itself. read more

Plenty of outdoor seating which is great during covid times. They hand you a physical menu which has food and drinks listed on it but it does not include the beers. You scan a QR code to see what beers are on tap. The virtual beer tap list is a little confusing. There are two separate lists of beers available so it's tough to determine what is currently available. Also, there are no descriptions of each type of beer and there is very limited space to write the names of the beers you want on the flight sheets they provide you with. I was pleasantly surprised with the flavors of the beer although the selection is not as great as I've seen it many breweries. There are a lot of fruit forward beers like their big peach and their big pumpkin was very pumpkin forward. I was a big fan of their stout which is called Galaxy. It was lighter than a typical stout but very good in flavor. I came here because I found a Groupon which was a great deal for two beer flights. Also commend them for giving you five different types of beer in a flight. We will be back! read more

Great service, very friendly staff, and remarkably fast service. This brewery has a partnership with Tin & Taco so this review covers both businesses. The seating area has both outdoor and indoor seating. Indoor seating has plenty of natural lighting with a lot of tvs available to keep you entertained. Kid friendly and ability to support very large groups. I had the Green Tea IPA and The Warrior Citra.. the Warrior edged out the Green Tea, but both are very good. For the food we split the Hang ten Tacos and extreme BLT tacos.. I had one of each and was VERY satisfied. Good size portions and reasonably priced. Full bar with many specials like bottomless Mimosas and Sangrias every Saturday. We will return to this great brewery! Gabby was our server and did an amazing job supporting our large group! read more

We arrived and found it hot inside, gets hotter when you drink. I would prefer it much cooler. Even my wife was struck by how warm it was. The chairs were also a bit uncomfortable. I don't think I'll come back for a long game. It was very clean inside and behind the counter. The tables and floor were all very clean. They bring your silverware out on a tray, which was also clean. The glasses were also clean. They only brought water to the person who didn't order a drink. So we all had to ask for water, not unreasonable, I'm just giving you a heads up. Also, the straws were plastic. The burger tasted like a McDonald's burger that was cooked an additional 20 minutes in a microwave. It was the worst hockey puck I have every tasted. They didn't ask for a temperature, all 3 patties came back at the puck temperature. To be clear, I saw them cook the burger, it was not microwaved. But it may as well have been. This burger made me so angry, that I wanted to give this place 1 star. But anger is the path to the dark side. The fries were mediocre. Some of them were mushy. But the fries at least were better than the burger. The wings were very good. Actually, I think I would come back for the wings. I just wish the Bleu Cheese had more chunks. There were virtually none. Happy hour is great, my wife posted pictures of the menu. I just wish they had prices on the regular drink menu as well. The beer was delicious. My friends had a Buffalo chicken sandwich per the waitress recommendation, he didn't like it. He stated he wouldn't want it again. Another friend had a wrap, she stated it was ok, but that she wouldn't want it again. So I will definitely come back for wings and beer. I don't think I'll risk anything else on the menu, I'll wait until my fellow Yelpers find something else that is good. I'm sure that if they can cook wings, something else is good. The check also came back wrong. They didn't properly charge the happy hour beers. I'm surprised they the computer doesn't do that automatically. 5 Stars for the beer 4 stars for the wings A star implies energy and the food for life. The burger was more of a black hole where cows go to be radioactively decimated. Honestly, it's disrespectful to cow life. read more

Great atmosphere! Jenny was our waitress and she took good care of us and the kids with us! I ordered a beer flight and told her what I liked. 4 out if the 5 were SPOT ON! I loved the selection of beer and flavors. They have an ale with a coffee taste, bean girls, that is so unique! Great knowledge of the beer and connections to others. The food was phenomenal! I got 3 tacos and settled on doing sompletelt different options. Pork taco, al pastor style, was okay. I wasn't a fan of the pork. Ill probably not order the pork again, although the mix of flavors mashed well together. El compadre had the mix of the fried jalapeños and pesto sauce and was a party to my taste buds! But the winner was 100% the brisket bomb. The chipotle sauce and beer cheese on top of the brisket was just out of this world. It doesn't disappoint at all. Oh and I have only ordered tacos at 2 places in my entire life. And this deserves a second... and a third round. Great beer, great food, and great service!! read more

First time at this "newer" location and it did not disappoint. There is a Tin & Taco inside (and heard they are going to have a pizza place join them soon!) the beer is fresh and they have a ton of options!

They have the cutest flights in orlando so make sure to grab one! read more

This place had recently opened up and I was excited to try it. I ordered a happy hour beer Dunkel Lager and it was good. I was disappointed with the service and food, it was cold and mediocre tasting at best and our waitress was inattentive and we had issues with the check. But I chalked it up to being new and they were still trying to get the kinks out. Flash forward a couple of months and my co-workers and I go for happy hour. Same issues with the food and service. Food came out cold or not at all, with the only positive consensus being the pretzel bites were good. They were out of beers ordered and didn't tell us in a timely manner. Items ordered on happy hour were on the check at full price. Three stars for the convenient location and the beer being good. Happy hour is M-F 4-7pm. read more

I was so excited seeing this place go up over the summer and even more excited to see that they were finally open for business! SN: Grand opening is this Sat, October 5th. Okay, so we came in on a Tuesday night (don't judge me ). I actually decided to stop through after a Yelp event at Carrabba's in Sanford. There's plenty of parking available, as this is located in a newly developed area. Love how spacious it is inside, with plenty of seating to enjoy solo at the bar or with a group of friends. I didn't get any food, as my sole purpose for my visit was, well, great craft beer of course (duh!). However my friend Kellie got the cheeseburger flatbread which she expressed was amazing (but I'll let her handle that in her own review ). So now, the beers. We decided on a flight, because that for me as a new craft beer drinker (10months), and even after doing it for years, I feel is the best way to try out many crafts without getting wasted (because then how do I enjoy them enough to leave reviews on Untappd?! Lol). Tony was our beertender and he was great. The flights come in 4. We enjoy the hoppier beers so started at the bottom of the list, the bottom three under Dark & Malty (Heathrow Red | Weiz Words | Black Hops Down), and then each picked one from Hop Heavy. I chose Socks & Flops and Kellie chose Dankster of Love. I enjoyed every. single. one. Like what... they were all way too enjoyable! And Tony even gave us another on the house, that's NOT on the menu; Skatepark After Dark. Stahhhpp of course we enjoyed that too. Overall, great service and great crafts. The entire staff there was friendly and was just an overall comfortable, fun environment. Will definitely be back! read more

Friday afternoon, decided to checkout this new brewery/taproom in the area. Large bright interior with both indoor/outdoor seating and a seemingly extensive draft list. Got a seat at the bar and opted to just have drinks. Looking at the menu, there are no prices listed for the beers - though they do have prices for everything else (odd). The digital menu above the bar also doesn't list the beer prices (and some of the beers are different as well). After some feedback with the waitress, settled on the "Dankster of Love" ($7) - a deep smooth DIPA that's not hop heavy. Also had the "Playlinda Robonaut" ($7) - a citrus forward hop beer. Didn't get to have food, but the beers are a good start. Will have to re-rate once the kinks are ironed out. read more

Great atmosphere, great staff, great tacos and great craft beers. Kids love coming here and playing on the turf outside while we enjoy some drinks and food. The tin and taco part is different from other local tin and tacos but works great with the brewery. Don't miss out on the brunch on Sunday! read more

We popped in for a quick drink and to check the place out. The decor and atmosphere was inviting. I ordered the Miami Neon IPA; a tasty pint. My wife had the Stout; also good. One suggestion would be to have the IBUs (i.e. the bitterness rating) of each beer on the menu. A brewery that doesn't provide the IBUs is going to find it more difficult to be taken seriously by fanatical beer drinkers. Overall, it's a nice addition to International Parkway. We'll be back in the new year when they are fully up to speed with the new brewing location. read more

Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy delicious food and drinks. The staff here is really friendly and all wear masks. The tables are spaced out indoors for social distancing. They have a great list of beer on tap as well as a full liquor menu. I had the blackberry mule which was light and refreshing. My boyfriend had the Ultimate Warrior IPA which he said was great. They also serve a full menu from Tin & Taco which was so good! They have a huge list of toppings that you can order in tacos, burritos, or even on a tray of fries. We tried three tacos and the fries. Everything was delicious! We'll definitely be back. read more

I bought a Groupon for 8 beers. They didn't have stouts canned so he said he could can 4 big ones for me, I agreed. I took them home and that night 2 beers exploded. The other 2 that didn't explode when I opened it, it was flat. Horrible experience. Never buying beer from this place ever again. What a waste of money. The manager reassured me that the beers wouldn't had exploded had I not dropped them, but I DIDN'T drop them and they exploded. Her assuming was rude and uncall for. I would give them zero stars if I could. Don't waste your money on this. read more

Place has got some badass tacos and great service !!! Family friendly and has a few activities for the kids

The service was great. We sat at the bar and were given great advice as to some selections on their food menu. We ordered the 2x tacos (the T&T and the Tacosaurus substituted pork for protein) and Notorious PIG nachos. Pros: food delivered fast and everything tasted great Cons: everything was either barely warm or cold Solve the temperature issue and it would be amazing. read more

Another great Friday after work Happy Hour at OCB! Sam was awesome! Had the Rye me a River...peppery quick finish. Excellent beer to start. Wrapped up with an Ultimate Warrior WIPA. Bright and sharp. Tried some new wing recipes. Consider them a tie. The mild wing sauce had a great touch of apple cider vinegar on a perfectly cooked and crispy wing. The sweet habanero wing sauce was also delicious...not too overpowering on the heat but still kept the flavor of the pepper. Keep the wing sauces flying! Oh yeah...love me some pretzel bites!

This place in Heathrow gets 5 stars in my book. The service is always excellent. Now that they have Tin&Taco located inside I'd give it 10 stars! They have a good selection of beers on tap along with a selection of cocktails. They do have outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. It's dog friendly outside too! There is a good amount of seating inside with each high top at a distance. You don't feel on top of the table next to you. I would absolute recommend this place. read more

First the food - Tin & Taco tacos and such are not bad. Wife & I had sampler nachos and 4 different tacos. All were fresh and above average tasting. 31/2 stars for the food. Now the problem - went on trivia night - didn't know it was trivia night - and the place was very busy. Understandably the kitchen was a little behind. The major issue for me is the entire staff including waiters & servers don't wear masks. I found this to be very irresponsible & gross. Won't be going back. read more

I really enjoyed the beer. Had the Miami Weiss and the Mrs. had a Florida lager (name?). The food was just average. Pretzel bites were missing some depth in taste as did the dip. Burger and patty melt were the same. It was like they forgot any seasoning or flair in all the food. Service was just average as well. The only one who checked on us once food was delivered was another waitress. I felt bad tipping 15% but that was a stretch. read more
