Amazing place with great selection! We ordered set of different beer samples and we are absolutely fall in low with #10, # 18 and just smell the #17 - it is something! So glad to have that place near home. We will be back!

Great and kind service. Nice easy going atmosphere and enjoyed the beer! Overall, I really enjoyed my first visit. Were locals and will definitely be back! The whole place was so clean and I appreciated seeing everything getting cleaned while we were there and people came and went. I felt like the whole place was well up kept and managed well.

Friendly folks. Interesting beer selection. A little pricey, but probably some rare stuff, too. Had only two of their own beers on tap. Would have been nice to have at least enough for a flight of the house beers. Thats what you get with a half barrel system, though. Their beers were interesting, but only having two, I will withhold broader judgement for now. Decent selection of games to entertain adults and kids. Would come back for a second visit.

Wes & Anthony are straight up awesome people and bartenders. The beer is great. The cleanest glasswear Ive ever seen in a bar .. and theyll can drafts for you on the spot. You cant go to Orlando without falling in love with this place.

Stopped here the night before Thanksgiving and was so happy I did. From the time we walked in until the time we left we had an amazing time. The drFt list was impeccable. They had so many rare beers on draft and more specifically what I like to drink so I was blown away. We met the owners who were very nice and made us feel like long time customers on our 1st visit. This is by far the beat beer place weve been to in Orlando. We will be frequent fliers at this establishment!!!

Review №19

Two beers I had were labeled as IPA. One was a milkshake ipa, and the other was not an ipa... If breweries are selling beer, it should be labeled what it is.... Sorry, I dont have an issue with the sub categories of beers, but at least label them as such. I can barely find a traditional ipa these days, and when it is labeled an ipa, its usually not the regular kind... End rant, lol... Brewery seemed fine, just would like if labels were more clear.

Great beers made by them and others from all over the world. Perfect price point and friendly service. The place is clean and nice to be in with a few TVs to watch but not blaring noise. They have food which is decent and often have food trucks stop by. Favorite place in Orlando by far

Review №25

Pretty cool little brewery with a nice selection. It was actually easy to find, very laid back and the bartender or beertender lol! Was very attentive. I had a beer that tasted almost like a piña colada. It was pretty good! I will be stopping here again. There were quite a few more Im interested in trying and they had a great selection inside the wall fridge. Some breweries get too loud and crowded. This was just right! Kudos.Great find!!

One of my favorite craft beer bars in town. Great selection of true craft on tap & bottles and cans.I enjoy the setting as well. Some thought put into it. The lighting, acoustics & seating are inviting and make you want to hang out for a while and enjoy beers with friends.Great service & perfect mix of music.

Amazing selection of local beer at reasonable prices, with discounted 4 packs. I got to try their Sludge Factory stout and it was perfect, full bodied and not too sweet. The staff is also very helpful if you need help making a choice.

Where do I start...great beer selection on draft and in cans. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner who was super knowledgeable not only about the brews they create but also all the other inventory. I will definitely make it point to stop in again!

Review №52

Love this place. The beer selection is not extensive. They will usually have about a dozen options, but they are varied and you’re likely to find something you really enjoy. The place is small and gets crowded easily. It’s a great happy hour spot for my coworkers and I. The staff has excellent taste in music because whatever station they play is full of bangers. Love the atmosphere here and the staff is super friendly.

Review №63

Very cool place with an awesome variety of different craft beers from all over Florida and beyond. Very cool on the inside, with a modern yet classic feel. Its definitely not your typical hipster craft beer bar with a some young guy in dreads behind the bar telling you about the hops and brewing style when he has no idea what hes talking about. The staff here is very cool and laid back and actually do seem very knowledgeable about the different brews. If your staying Vista cay its a cant miss and even if your not its probably got one of the most unique beer selections in all of Orlando. Would highly recommend.

Probably the best local bar in the area. Sure, it’s only limited to beer and wine, but man oh man do these guys know their beer. If they have any of their own stuff on tap, don’t question it, just buy it and drink it. I’ve never been let down. These guys know beer. Such a great little spot.

Fun tiny spot for beers and other beverages, but not much else. No hard liquor and no food menu. But a great Lil spot to try local brews and hang with friends. They have a stack of card and board games to keep you entertained and service was great behind the bar.Also, theyll let you order pizza and get it delivered there.

Been coming here since they’ve opened, but here recently come here every weekend. I’ve never had a bad encounter, and everyone is more than ready to answer my questions! Thanks Scott, Chad, Wes, Anthony, and Pia too! They are always willing to answer your question and lead you in the right direction. You can tell them any type of beer, and they’ll do there best to lead you to something you’ll like, and this is coming from a picky beer drinker.

If I was in Boston I would call it Cheers. But the Half Barrel Beer Project is A very quaint neighborhood bar & brewery where everyone meets to have a fine local brew as well as the ability to purchase other Florida craft beers.I also purchased some non-alcoholic craft grape soda (love it) and no one can leave without a sharp cap with the store name.Its a growing brewery that I can guarantee youll love to stop by and grab some suds during those hot Florida days or nights.

Review №85

Great selection of local and national craft beer. Rotating tap of 10, in addition to the large selection of bottles available to enjoy there or take with you. They also have a few selections of locally made wine and cider from Quantum Leap. Friendly service and reasonable prices in a comfortable space with an assortment of board games and TVs to entertain you and your friends. As well as a trivia night on Thursdays. Definitely worth checking out.

For a small brewpub they have a great selection of bottles and beer on tap. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I love that I can take beer with me. I have found many hard to find bottles here. If it were closer to my home I would be there more often.

The place is not very large but they do have a great selection of beer. Prices are a little on the higher side but that is expected when in a tourist area. The place has lots of board games to choose from that you and your friends can play while enjoying your drinks.

Review №99

I cant endose this place enough. If you are coming to Orlando on a business/convention trip and you love craft beer, this is a must see. Easily the best mix of unique, quality craft beers in the city. They are starting to brew a few of their own beers, but the beauty of this place is that all drafts are small, limited time offerings. Their bottle and can selection cant be topped anywhere in the tourist district. Do yourself a favor and stop by, you wont be disappointed.

This place is great. Great atmosphere, owners were very approachable and helpful. Bought way too many beers here because selection was amazing. Changed their taps often. Cant wait to go back.
