I enjoy their red sangria (they have white as well, haven't tried it.) which is pretty delicious. They have a food truck every evening they are open generally from 3 until 8. We have tried a lot of them and most are very tasty. Our favorite so far was a Hawaiian lumpia (like spring rolls) food truck. They are very dog friendly. People not only bring their own fur kids but will take a dog out of the shelter for a few hours and bring them out. It's very heartwarming. Inside is clean. It's really chilly for us so if it's not raining we tend to go outside. There is frequent live music as well. You can find lineups on their Facebook page. Bartenders are very knowledgeable and nice!

We had stumbled across them when we were in town for a wedding back in November and they are the perfect spot to stop off and have a beer while you wait for the insane traffic to calm down on I-4. My husband got a barrel aged beer...something called Driving my nuts. It was rested in Buffalo trace bourbon barrels, and while the buffalo trace is not very pronounced, you still get the flavor, especially after it warmed a little bit. I opted for the Irish red ale, which was incredibly good had the super sweetness when you first take a sip, very caramel tones and notes, but then mellow is very quick.

We ended up sitting outside for a while enjoying the live music and the overall atmosphere. The outdoor space is really nice and gives the brewery a fun, laid back vibe that made it easy to hang out for a few hours. The beer itself was really good with plenty of options to choose from, and the staff was friendly throughout the visit. The brewery is also in a great location in downtown Lakeland, which made it the perfect stop after the game. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

Inside there is limited seating, but there is plenty if seating outside in their beer tent. I love that you can visit multiple times and still not see everything inside. I have been to Swan three times so far, and every time I notice something different. Love the little extras in the decor. For some reason the last few times I visited I was more interested in drinking than reviewing. The beer is just that good. On this visit I finally rolled up my sleeves, pulled out my virtual pencil and got to reviewing. The BEER: The Fujiwhara Effect... NEIPA 6.2% ABV... wow, so much citrus, full bodied and semi sweet, this is a perfect New England IPA Miss Bee Haven... Kolsch 5.4% ABV... crisp, clean and quite delicious I may review more next time, but this is that brewery when I visit I start drinking like they are going to run out of beer. Fortunately they haven't yet. But every time I come back I will keep trying.

Better yet, the opportunity to sample merchandise exists! Bill was extremely helpful and offered some red wine suggestions based on brands I enjoy. He also educated me regarding labeling. In the end, I opted for Imagery Cabernet based on the previous evening's experience along with the fact ABC offered a savings of $5 off with the purchase of two bottles. Our cashier was also very friendly and informed us about upcoming tasting events. I will definitely return to this location if I find myself back in Lakeland. Finally, this visit encouraged me to checkout my local ABC next time I'm in the vicinity.

They also did not respond to emails, which I sent after 10 days, asking about what's up with the shipment. Anyway, the specialty bottle I ordered eventually arrived. They're certainly not a scam, they just have lousy customer service / contact. And now the person I ordered the bottle for has two bottles of what I ordered, because CPD was so slow that I ordered from somewhere else and tried to cancel here - but apparently you can only cancel if they don't ship within 30 days. Oh well. Again, they're absolutely not a scam as some people in Yelp suggest, but just... don't order from them if you want something quickly to be delivered to a different state.

It's located in a nondescript building that's basically one large dining room with a bar in the back. Since we got there at the top of the lunch hour, it was not busy so we were served very quickly. The menu had lots of interesting options - I went with the Beer Braised Pork Street Tacos and could not have been more pleased with my choice. They are made with shaved pieces of pork topped with lettuce, Muenster cheese, honey mustard, and pickles. The taste of all that together is excellent. If you are in the area, this is an excellent choice for a good lunch!

Parking was a bit of a challenge due to the Farmer's Market still being in full swing. But a second time around and found free 2 hour parking. Around 16 beers in cans and I believe one on tap. They also offer hard sellers and around 6 or so hard ciders. I love cider, so this is my place. Also, the ciders were dry to sweet... I'm more of a dry gal, so I chose the Schilling Hard Cider from WA state. My hubby chose the beer on tap, it was a mix of beer and cider. He usually has a dark beer but decided to try this and liked it. There are a few circular tables and bench tables as well as a table and bench that runs the Len h of the bar and a few chairs at the bar itself. A few TVs play sports and 70s music overhead (Bee Gees, You Could Be Dancing). A helpful/delightful bartender and clean bar ;) Overall a place I would come back to ;)
