Brewsey Blogger here, taking you to Winter Garden Florida to have a couple of beers at Crooked Can Brewing Company. Located in the Plant Street Market and just a short 20-minute drive from Orlando, this brewery has so much to offer. First let me give you a full rundown of the setting. Plant Street Market is a local indoor artisan market that features 20 different vendors offering natural and organic food options, as well as handmade products. The market is open 7 days a week, however vendor hours do vary so be sure to check the website for details. Before I get into the brewery itself, it is worth mentioning that downtown Winter Garden is a whole vibe. There are little shops and restaurants down the main road and it is worth making the drive, especially if you are looking to mix things up from the typical Orlando scene.
With Plant Street Market’s goal of creating a community of quality and diverse products, it only makes sense to have the award winning Crooked Can Brewing Company located right inside. The brewery offers ample seating, whether you want to be inside at a table, sit at the bar or head out to the pet friendly patio, you won’t need to worry about finding a spot to sit and enjoy your drinks. With the slogan “Brew like a champion, drink like a champion,” it is no surprise that these craft brews tasted award winning. The menu offers a diverse selection, from IPAs to red and blonde ales, to sours and stouts. We tried four different kinds, The Holiday Punch (sour), Workaholic (IPA), Udderly Delicious (stout) and the Mcstagger (imperial IPA). All were amazing, I was a big fan of the Udderly Delicious as I am somewhat picky with my stouts, and this one had a great, smooth taste. Crooked Can lives up to its promise of creating unique craft beer with excellent taste and consistent quality. While their menu is solely craft beers, as I mentioned before, the market has various vendors with food options from pizza to sushi to burgers, grab a bite to eat and bring it back over to the tap room to enjoy with your beer!
Crooked Can Brewing Company is open 7 days a week and offers events just about daily. Monday is “Service Industry Monday” giving a 30% discount to any bartenders, food service workers, theme park workers, brewery staff, Military (active and retired), teachers, health care workers and first responders, as long as you provide valid ID. The discount is excluded on holidays and cannot be used for growlers, crowlers or wine. Tuesdays you can join in on Trivia Night on the main patio starting at 7:30pm and Wednesday-Sunday offers live music (times vary). Their full event calendar can be found on the website Events – Crooked Can Brewery – Orlando | Winter Garden. Also worth mentioning, there is ample free parking right across the street.
Another bonus for any locals looking to plan an event, the brewery offers access for private parties and corporate events located inside of their Barrel Room. The room is available to rent 7 days a week and holds up to 150 guests in its 2000 sq ft space, complete with a full bar, A/V capabilities, private restrooms and a private entrance. You can also hold events in the brewery itself allowing for a larger group of up to 600 guests with 300 seated capacity. To directly contact someone and inquire about hosting an event call 407-456-7144.
To sum it up, Crooked Can Brewing Company goes above and beyond to provide quality product with a laid back environment that makes it well worth the visit. This will easily be a spot you’ll want to keep coming back to for more.
