Tactical is my favorite brewery in Orlando! It helps that it is walking distance for me. Its always very casual and laid back. The drinks are always changing and offer something for everyone! They dont serve food but they do have some snacks available for purchase. They often have a food truck as well. If youre wanting a meal, Id recommend having it delivered there or bring it with you when you go! PS If you need something to do for Sunday Funday, go get a frozen Melancholy (only available on Sunday). read more

Tactical is such a cute little place, everyone was so friendly and our group was able to come in and just sit and talk for as long as we wanted with no pressure. Now I'm not really a beer drinker, so when I went up to order, I asked what kind of seltzer they had and if there's any berry flavored options, the guy helping me came up with a really good suggestion, to at least try. I told him what I didn't like about beer and all of that, and he said alright I got the one for you. So I tried the melon sour and boy was it good! Didn't bring the dog this time, but I have in the past and the patio is a great place for him! Tactical has a great location in Baldwin and everything is so dog friendly! read more

This is a semi regular stop for me, easily my tempting l favorite brewery in Orlando. As a stout/porter and generally flavored beer fan I find this to be the only brewery with options for myself. Many of the brews are listed as sours but don't let that stop you! The flavor always comes through well and you will often be (pleasantly) surprised by the pairings. They also offer some old school video games, run club on Thursdays, food trucks and local charity nights. Easy to spend a whole evening here. read more

I came to Tactical with a friend a few months ago. We met for a beer as he moved from Orlando to Tampa and had a craving for a specific beer here. I'm not a huge drinker, but decided to give the beer he was craving a try. We walked into the establishment and it was dimly lit, but had huge windows for natural lighting. It had a hipster vibe to it, which I liked. They had televisions, games, and seating both at the bar and tables, too. We went up to the bar and ordered the meloncholy. Seemingly, it was a popular choice, because the bartender smirked. When I tell you that I have thought about that beer ever since and have returned multiple times for more, I'm not kidding. This made a "non-drinker" crave alcohol. Highly recommend the meloncholy. Don't be turned away by the color because yes, it is light pink. read more

If i could give them six or seven stars I would. After reading some reviews, their tribute wall of service people and first responders inspired me to visit. Many of the beers were not in my wheelhouse (sours) but I enjoyed quite a few including one (nelson hopped pale) that ran out. Sorry no names, but Im an IPA guy and this is a wide open menu. Blond stout was good. Nelson DH pale was great. There were three tenders making the night Excellent. Gabby & Corey were excellent. C man made my night. Funny and hospitable. Garrett on the other hand was a drip. (inside joke but so true JK) It was trivia night and the guy running it, another high top performance. I'm a little "above " trivia (cus i suck st it) but had sooo much fun playing. Im sure you can come to a place and have a great or ok experience, but I feel really blessed that I took a chance & $25 ride to Tactical. Not to mention honoring their honor wall and veteran owned. Great stuff, very solid Beer read more

Came to this brewery for the first time because a friend was doing a BBQ pop up in the back. The bar is in the middle of the room with lots of seating around it and around the room. There was a long list of beers available as well as some wines and ciders from other businesses. I tried the This is Blue which is a sweeter sour beer that reminded me of the light blue Gatorade which I love. I sampled the Base Lager and that is a good simple lager. Parking in Baldwin is always a toss up for me and had to circle the Publix lot near by for parking. read more

Absolute favorite brewery in the whole wide world. Incredible sours and stouts. My favorite of my time there was the 11 Alive (white imperial stout with coffee and coconut notes). Divine. Truly. Cute bartenders and chill atmosphere. read more

Love this spot in Baldwin park! Will officially be my new go to brewery when in the area. They have a huge assortment of great ipas and sours. They also have food on rotation. I love that it is dog friendly as the dogs were beyond well trained here. Service is fantastic. You cannot go wrong. Slowly working my way thru their beer menu! You must try their watermelon sour it is a necessity. read more

I'd love to try this place again because it would have been great had our personal space not been taken over by unattended young children. An old friend of mine came to visit me this weekend to catch up. We came here on a Saturday afternoon. We got some drinks and sat down at the couch area. The staff were super friendly. We were there enjoying our time for about an hour. Then at least 7 children and babies showed up. One of the men came up and said to the other parents, "I'm going to make a diaper station right here." And put a pile of diapers and wipes on the ottoman where our drinks were. The parents dropped the kids off on the remaining couch seats next to us, and formed a circle in by the bar with nobody even watching the kids. How do I know nobody was watching the kids? Because multiple kids sat literally on our feet and on our laps. A child even tried to reach into our pretzel bag for pretzels. This went on for an hour. We tried moving to a corner spot on the couch to give the kids room so they wouldn't sit on us and could play together, and we still were being pestered by them. The parents didn't even bat an eye until a toddler small enough to be in diapers started pushing on my lap to get off the couch. We never got an apology. Did I mention all do these small children were in a bar, sat next to (and on) two complete strangers, with very little supervision? I don't understand how a nice afternoon spent catching up with a friend over beers turned into us trying to keep children away from our beer and pretzels and off of our laps. I am very let down by this and appalled at these parents. read more

Tactical Brewing never disappoints! The beer is always amazing they're constantly dropping creative, flavorful brews that keep me coming back. The vibe is chill, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff? Absolutely top-tier. Huge shoutout to Corey hands down one of the best bar staff I've ever encountered. Friendly, knowledgeable, and just an all-around awesome presence behind the bar. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you're seriously missing out. read more

We had an absolutely amazing time at tactical brewing on Saturday. This location definitely gets busy and has a lot of foot traffic. They do have events most nights. They have pop up food experiences as well. It just so happened while we were there on Saturday that they had a pop-up food experience and it definitely stayed pretty busy. They have a good selection of beers to choose from several that are collaborations, but overall really enjoyed all of their sours. If you're like me, you may not be a sour beer drinker, but I love that tactical beers do not have that sour finish that most sours have. it almost feels like drinking an adult Capri or an adult version of Hawaiian punch. Really enjoy their beers and definitely will be back.! One of my favorites was melancholy, which is a watermelon sour. It really is delicious and while I get the watermelon, it honestly tasted more like a pink starburst to me. I also enjoyed it's Untappd, which was the apple pie crumble and ice cream sour. Really delicious and for somebody who loves fall flavors, It really started to put the fall spirit in me. read more

Great spot to check out when you're in the Baldwin Park area. They have their own offerings as well as offerings from nearby breweries. We've been here a few times and as always felt like a neighborhood hot spot. You can find parking and immediate area without much trouble. They do have some tables and bar seating as well as a fun little couch area where you can play some video games. They are family and pet friendly. Bartenders are quick to handle all of the crowds and very friendly. They don't serve any food on site, however they are usually hosting a food truck or you can bring in outside food if desired. Overall: A A solid local brewery that you should definitely try out! read more

We've stopped into Tactical Brewing a couple of times. They have a good amount of seating inside as well as outdoor seating available. It's a fun, casual vibe with friendly bartenders. They do not serve food here, but seem to often have food trucks out back or you can bring in outside food. I love the wide variety of beers here and all that I have tasted are really yummy with nice depth of flavor. We tend to go for sours and stouts and usually can find a few options for each. They also have several other varieties and you can purchase beer to take home as well. On our recent visit, we took home a four pack of their Keanu Tumblereeves, a PB&J style beer that was soooo delicious! We also enjoyed live music while having some beers there. It's friendly for doggies and little ones; we saw several of each having a good time. This is definitely one of my favorite breweries in town! read more

Tactical will forever be my favorite brewery. I was able to try their Bumble Z draft beer which is a sour with blackberry honey, blackberries, cinnamon, and vanilla. This was one of the best sours I've ever had! It is very similar to their "Melancholy" (my personal favorite) but the cinnamon gives it an extra twist! read more

Found this spot while on vacation. Hands down the possum rage (rice ipa) was amazing. I brought 8 back to WA with me I liked them so much. I tried a lot of the tap beer they had. I am a PNW beer drinker and the Sours they have on tap I would never call a sour. I tried them all and every single one of them was the opposite of sour and were so sweet, not even tart just sweet. For me it was way to much on the sour game. The other styles I tried were great. read more

Great selection. I drank the Lion Juice, a sour that is actually sweet. They don't have food but allow you to bring food in. Not many places like that. Been here once and don't come to Orlando that often but would love to come back read more

Place smells like piss, as soon as you walk in. Beer is Okay at best. Won't be back. Bartender doesn't even seem like he wants to be here.

Was in there for a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening and it was AMAZING. Not a huge beer person, but all their sour beers were superb, not too sour, not too beer-y. The other beers were good too, but the colors from the sours were the highlight (pun intended) of night. Nice venue, although it was quite empty at 7pm on a Saturday. Good for us! read more

I came primarily for the Speakeasy Burger pop-up and really enjoyed myself here at Tactical Brewing. It's super casual with seating both indoor and outdoor and a big bar in the center. The service was great and bartenders were really helpful and patient with a newcomer wanting to try something new. My usual go-to brews are porters and stouts so, the fruit-forward menu here was a little overwhelming, finally after a few different tastes, I landed on the #16 Lazer Dragon 3000 and 8% ABV Imperial Sour with dragon fruit, sudachi, tamarind, and yuzu. It was a delicious pairing with my spicy smash burger! I highly recommend this brewery especially if you're with proclaimed non-beer drinkers. read more

It had been on my list of places to try and finally decided to stop by and check out their selection. The brewery is nicely set up with inside and outside seating. There are a couple of game areas and they do have live music on the weekends. It dies get a bit crowded so be prepared to wait to order or get a seat. The staff was nice, attentive and happy to answer questions or make suggestions. I asked for their sours and I got to try 2 of them before ordering which it sure was appreciated. I like that they have a small pour and a larger one, so that you get to try different flavors if you like. We got the pineapple sour (Of the Lifestyle) and the watermelon sour (Meloncholy). The other sours are too sweet and these were a bit less. Wish they had one that was more tangy and much more less sweet. We tried their lager and that was smooth and refreshing. We will definitely be back! read more

We came here to hang out before we went to dinner with another friend. We walked in and the place was empty except for one other table. We sat down at the bar and met our bartender. I feel bad but I forgot her name. Blonde women, shaved sides. Really nice. We spoke about how she hates when she goes to another bar and the bartenders are stuck up or boring. We ended up chilling and the wife and friend got a flight tasting. I tasted the only sour on tap which was good. My buddy got the purple can that to me was too strong. The place is nice and clean. They're very pro military and law enforcement. I'd come back. read more

I'm biased as a long time patron but this is my favorite brewery in Orlando to date. Since 2017 tactical brewing has been pumping out some of the best, most creative and occasionally odd beers in the city and some would say the state. Come for the beer and stay for the people. Cory, Garrett, Ash, Cedric, Dallas and sometimes Aaron are always there to ask you about your day and make you feel like a regular. Come often and taste their rotating menu. No week or day is ever the same so check their website for updated tap list. Events every week from run club, dirty bingo, tap takeovers and plenty of local food trucks. Peep the Faded Kingdom Brew fest every year capping off Orlando Beer Week. read more

Tactical Brewing is an awesome veteran-owned brewery in the heart of Baldwin Park. Feeling adventurous? They are known for their unique (and sometimes crazy) flavor combinations, so you're sure to find something new you've never tried on the menu. There's something for everyone on the menu including light beers, IPAs, ciders, sours, and more. This is definitely a spot I recommend to friends who don't like IPAs because there are plenty of other options for them to try. During my last visit, I got a beer flight (4 - 5 oz pours) so that I could sample multiple things, including: 1. Pfefe Hefe (German wheat beer with notes of banana) 2. Stairway to Nothing (New England Hazy IPA with citra hops) 3. Run Jewelius Run (Orange Julius Hazy IPA) 4. Fate's Reflection (Collab w/Freehand Goods - sour beer with pineapple, oranges, and honey) The Stairway to Nothing was my fave out of the four. I don't typically opt for sweet drinks in general, but it was still fun to try the different flavors. They have so many more interesting ones that I'd be down to try. I love all the local collabs they do with other local businesses, too. Always keepin it fresh and exciting! I need to go for Bingo on Tuesday nights -- looks so fun! read more

It was a hot day and we wanted to cool off with some beer. They have such a great selection of beers and sours. The Kolsch I got had to be one of the best tasting Kolsch style beers I've ever had.

They also made sure to say, "Thank you for your service" which was very appreciated! read more

Love coming to tactical!! They have super fun locally brewed beers. Uniquely named and well brewed! They have so many different kinds with so many different flavors. For example they have a Butter Beer and a blue candy sour! Also a watermelon sour, super delicious. Always a good vibe in here. The bartenders, especially Aaron, are a great time! The bar is clean and inviting. Parking on the street or a lot behind where the Publix is. Stop by for a nice chill night! read more

Pros: Customer service was GREAT! The bartenders are kind and friendly. So please note if you decide to come here you will be welcomed. There was trivia going on on this Wednesday night which was a nice touch. They also have old school video games in the back which my friend and I were able to partake in. Cons: THE BEER CHOICE. Of the 18 beers advertised, there were two that were out so there were 16 options. Which is not bad, but the options were just not there. Maybe this is just me, but I am not a sour beer fan, but of the 16 beers available, 7 were sours. And then Unfortunately, I do not care for IPAs unless I have to drink them. On the menu, there were 5 IPAs. Another option was a limoncello hard juice (which I did not count as beer) So that only leaves 3 beer options a American light lager, German Wheat beer, and a Barley wine. I tried the German Wheat Beer and the Lager and both were just okay. Unfortunately, due to the beer selection, I won't be returning as I think there are other breweries with better selection. But if you are a fan of Sours, this menu is definently for you! read more

We had never been here, but it was a nice experience. The vibe was friendly and fun. There was ample seating and the service was pretty quick. They have some...errr.. umm... UNIQUE??? offerings on their beer menu. Some were amazing, some were the opposite of amazing. They were fun to try, though. I'm always a little hesitant about super pro-vet places because honestly, it's a quick trip from saluting those who serve to a weird almost military church cult vibe at some places. Tactical seemed to have a nice balance. They asked if we served at ordering and are blatantly themed with some military themes, but they didn't seem to treat non-vets differently from anyone else other than a discount. That's a great thing. I thought it was weird that they have a big sign saying NO DOGS, but there were like 20 dogs in there. Which is nice because I like dogs and made a new friend. But it was odd. read more

Love coming here Tuesday nights for Drag Bingo! It's 21+ from 7p-9p to accommodate the event. Come early! The seating area fills up pretty quickly! We usually sit at the bar for the best view and seating when we arrive. The food vendors vary each week. Last week was chicken and waffles. A few weeks before was Cholo Dogs. The venue lets you bring in any food and drink from outside vendors. The beer they brew and have on tap is great! They have a good variety for all different beer lovers. They have discounts for Bugalower key chain holders (same group hosting the bingo). Lovely for the event and just for something to sip after walking around Baldwin Park. read more

This is my kind of place. Chill vibe. Veteran focused and some seriously legit beers. Had a taster flight and each one was solid. The decor was simple and effective. The barkeep was nice and efficient. I would definitely visit here again. read more

Tactical is of my favorite breweries in the area. It is veteran owned and has a super chill atmosphere. Inside there is bar and table seating, and there are also a couple tables on the patio in the front. They have rotating selections of craft beer, usually about 16 or so available. They always have some pretty unique flavor combinations so those are always fun to try, and I love that they usually have a few different sours. Great spot to grab a drink and hang out read more

This place was located in a very ritzy looking place of Orlando, they don't server food at all, but do get food trucks to provide meals for those who want it. It's interested how they get you to order beer, very unique but not well adverstised. Overall, a fun place to attend. read more

Much gratitude for the fact that this now my local brewery (I've recently moved to the area). I've only been once, enjoying a tasty hefeweizen in their outdoor seating area on a balmy Friday evening while working on my laptop, but I expect to return soon (and often). The only thing I didn't love was that all (or almost all) of their darker beers - which I generally tend to prefer - were pretty high gravity, with a minimum of 8% ABV (and I'm not looking for too much of a buzz when trying to read or catch up on work!) read more

Tactical Brewing - Tasty Hefe - Breweries Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Bring your friends, bring some food, and bring your puppers!!! Their beers are AMAZING!!! They have lots of different sours etc. The flavors were amazing, and there were so many different rich and complex styles. While we were there, there were 4 other dogs, which was fine with us. The service was strange. I didn't exactly get the feeling we were welcome, which is strange. Also, they kept trying to clear the glasses for the ladies, even when they still had beverages in them; but they left the men's glasses alone - even when they were completely empty. Isn't that weird? I say, go for the dogs and the beer but don't expect friendly warm service. read more

Tactical Brewing is one of those spots that gets it right. The second you walk in, the wall of military patches and challenge coins hits you with a super cool touch and gives the place a ton of character. It feels like part brewery, part clubhouse, and part tribute wall. The vibe is laid-back but lively. There are TVs for sports, live music in the corner, and people laughing over flights. It's the kind of place where you can chill with friends or strike up a random conversation at the bar. I went on a Sunday, and they had live music, which was awesome. The beers? Awesome. I tried a flight, and every pour was different, but all were well done: a light, crisp one to start, a darker malt-forward brew, a fruity one with just the right balance, and a tart one that popped with flavor. I'm not a Frith beer guy, but I love the blueberry one ( and I loved it #13). They're definitely not afraid to experiment, but they still nail the fundamentals. The service was quick and friendly, and the staff clearly loved working there. The merch wall and barrel displays add to the whole vibe. You can tell they've put a lot of thought into making the place feel unique. read more

Tactical Brewing really is great. It's got everything, ideal location, outdoor seating, and of course; great beer. They're constantly changing their brews although they typically keep 2 or 3 on there all the time. Some of their brews can be pretty kooky too. Not too long ago I sampled the pho-sho brew. No lie, it straight up smelled like pho, and the taste was... interesting, not a beer for me, but where else can you find creative brews like that? There aren't many places that's for sure. They also have more traditional beers though and even hard seltzer/juice sometimes. I am a fan of how they have the outdoor seating set up. It's facing the beautiful village center of Baldwin Park, and conveniently located right next to an Italian restaurant that apart from your typical italian fare sells pizza by the slice just in case you want a little something with your beer. I've come here after bike riding a couple of times and if I'm not feeling like having an entire beer, they do 5 oz pours for like 2 or 3 bucks depending on what you get. This option is also good in case you're waiting to eat at Osprey, or Seito's and don't want to get full on beer, but want a little something to drink and pass the time while you're waiting for a table. Hope you enjoy it as much as I always do! read more

Tactical Brewing - Cuddly Chupacabra was the best out of the entire flight $12 - Breweries Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Tactical is hands-down the best brewery in Orlando; possibly Florida (not to come across as a fanatic but this place is that good). The head brewer is a sour beer savant which makes Tactical a solid date night location. But, if you favor the classics, there's the house Lager plus several in traditional options available. Their staff and bartenders can help you pick out a beer (if you're unsure) or provide a sample if you're stuck between a few choices. The taps change constantly, so you always have a reason to pop in and see what's new (plus their to-go options are substantial). Bonus points for a first responder and military discount. read more
