Hourglass Brewing is one of the original breweries of Orlando and they have two locations: their main brewery in North Orlando in Longwood, and a taproom in the Hourglass District off of Curry Ford Road in Orlando. The brewery in Longwood has arcade games and pinball and sometimes hosts kid-friendly events during the holidays. They hold art shows monthly and have occasional market days where local artists and creatives gather to showcase their hand-made goods.
Hourglass Brewing has an impressive list of 40 taps in Longwood and 42 at the Hourglass District taproom! With such an array of beer styles, there’s something for every kind of palate.
The brewhouse in Longwood sits next to Wako Taco, a Tex-Mex spot with tacos, nachos, and more. Papa Bee’s is just one more door down the plaza and they are well known for their specialty: chicken wings. Both restaurants pair perfectly with all of the unique flavors of Hourglass’ award-winning craft beer.
Over in the Hourglass District, they have a pretty patio just outside of the taproom and they also have food trucks that pop-up weekly. Follow their social media to stay up-to-date on the latest information for food. The taproom is also walking distance to various restaurants, so you won’t go hungry!
Both locations offer several cans of craft beer to take home. After a few sips of these brews, you’ll definitely want to go back soon!
