Beer Babies: Guidelines for Safely Visiting Breweries with Children

I know, I know I already did an “I’m Back” post, and then proceed to disappear again. Being a new mom is a lot more work than I expected. However, being a new mom is what inspired me to write this post. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I was going to have to give up drinking for at least nine months. I also knew though that when my son arrived (with the proper amount of time), I would want to get back into visiting breweries and rejoining the craft beer community in Orlando.

Exploring Ocean Sun Brewery In The Hourglass District

Dan and I continued on our Central Florida Ale Trail and made it to Ocean Sun Brewery. This brewery holds a special place in my heart because it is in the newly name neighborhood The Hourglass District, which is also the neighborhood I lived in for almost five years.

When Ocean Sun opened two years ago it was a welcoming addition to the neighborhood. Read more “Exploring Ocean Sun Brewery In The Hourglass District” →

Bear and Peacock Brewstillery Taproom Visit

After finishing up our flights at Deadly Sins we headed over to The Bear and Peacock. The Bear and Peacock is unique because it is a Brewstillery. Meaning they brew beer and distill different spirits in the same location.

You are able to purchase and consume beer in their taproom, however you are only able to purchase their spirits to go. They aren’t able to make you any cocktails while visiting. Read more “Bear and Peacock Brewstillery Taproom Visit” →

Deadly Sins Brewing Taproom Visit

Central Florida’s beer scene is up and coming, and one way to get people out exploring breweries is to get them on the Central Florida Ale Trail.

Essentially the Ale Trail has you visiting 22 Central Florida Breweries, drinking a beer (or several), and collecting a stamp on your map. Once your map is filled, you turn it in at your last stop and earn a free growler container.

I have already completed the trail once, but since these are breweries I visit on a regular basis, I figured I would go for Round 2. Read more “Deadly Sins Brewing Taproom Visit” →
