    Beet salad
    Mike L.

    Very nice brewery with a ton of outdoor seating and space. Service was good as you order at the bar and pick up the food. Food was ok. A little pricey for what you get and how it's played in paper trays. But overall good experience

    Located in a shopping center with many options and an abundance of parking available, this is the place where you want to be. With great attentive service, the taproom combines a chill vibe with space to accommodate those seeking a social environment or a place to work and let the creativity flow. The outdoor space is significant with activities to keep you occupied. With a variety of craft beers, the quality is good and very solid. They also have food to satisfy even the pickiest taste buds that are great for sharing. Cheers!

    Love Home State! They have a decent sized indoor space and a really big outdoor space with picnic tables and Adirondack chairs and generally just good vibes overall. They have a pretty big beer list plus some non beer bevvies if you aren't a beer drinker. We've eaten there a couple times and the food has always been good. Their Cuban sandwich is so good, last time we went I got the pimento grilled cheese and it was spicy but in a really good way. Don't miss out on their bathrooms, each one is decorated differently and they really make me want to put wild wallpaper in my house. Love this place! Great beer and food, great atmosphere and fun bathrooms. 10/10

    Home State Brewing, is in a beautiful area Winter Haven, heck all of Winter Haven is beautiful. Well decorated and plenty of comfortable area both inside and out. When you first walk in you order the beer. They have menus right there and there is also a big menu over the bar. They have food as well. We tried their cupcakes, bomb! Their brewer is Justin and he has figured out something a bunch of big breweries haven't figured out; your beer can be simple and have clean flavors and be awesome. THE BEER AT HOME STATE BREWING IS AWESOME!!! And they are also dog friendly on the outside patio. Oh and kid friendly whether they have fur or not. The restrooms are gender neutral so there are no lines. And the restrooms have the coolest wall paper. For my first visit I was quite impressed and I think I need to make this one of my regular breweries to visit because the beer made me feel like home. So amazing! The BEER: Apparition Rye Saison 5.8 % ABV... slightly fruity banana clove, like a hefe or a Belgian, this is all day drinkable Queen Boheae Czech Dark Lager 4.8% ABV... Coffee and slightly Czech, if this one was a nitro or poured from a Czech tap it would be other wordly Party Pace Kolsch 4.8% ABV... everything you want a Kolsch to be, low in IBUs and full of that clean flavor Easin' the Tension Amber Lager 4.8% ABV... Oh how much I liked this, some complex flavors in a lager Oh My Gatos (Flagship) IPA 6.2% ABV... slightly citrusy with piney notes, better than your average IPA Doctor's Orders Hefeweizen (Flagship) 4.6% ABV... banana clove and a little bit of lemon, all day crushable goodness Calypso Coconut Lager 5% ABV... the Coconut is closer to Coconut water, so totally refreshing and definitely crushable Secret Stash Double Milk Stout 10% ABV... so impressed by this stout, it is not too sweet or boozy, this is a sneaky beer, 3 and you will need a designated driver... oh and it pares well with the cup cakes If you are in Winter Haven FL and you need a great craft beer, Home State Brewing is the spot!

    I've been here several times for pop up markets and it's very cute! The vibe is good, there are board games and a decent amount of seating, especially if the weather is good and you can sit outside! I'm not a drinker and the N/A options are pretty standard--I do love that they carry Mexican Coke! We had several food options--the potato salad was good, and the Caesar salad was my favorite ! I didn't like the esquites at all, way too spicy, and they didn't have a mayo that I cold tell. One of my favorite things is that they gave individual bathrooms and a decent amount!Overall this is a great place and definitely an asset to Winter Garden.

    Outdoor seating and live music!

    This is one of my favorite third spaces! It really checks all the boxes for me. Amazing place for coffee or a beer (I always go for a seasonal)! I love that you can go there to work or play any time of the day. My favorite is cornhole to some live music or a board game night. The space and staff are inviting and it's rare to find a place that just feels like home. Check them out and don't forget to invite me. Local bites are also available. Dig in!

    Home State is a great local small batch brewery offering a food menu and several different beers on tap. They have a coffee bar as well but I have never been interested in trying any of the coffee. The head brewer spent time In Chicago at Revolution Brewing which has always been one of my favorites. They have Chicago style hot dogs on the menu and being a Chicago native, I can say they are a good substitute for the real thing..... need to include celery salt next time.

    The cubana sandwich. Amazing

    Second Review - Still Elite, Still Incredible! Title: Dog Days, Cold Beers & Cubana Dreams - Home State Never Misses Back at it again with another five-star day at Home State Brewing Co., and let me tell you--this spot continues to deliver the good vibes, great beer, and welcoming hospitality that makes it a true Winter Garden gem. We came for lunch, sat out on the dog-friendly patio with our pup (tail wagging in full approval), and just enjoyed everything this awesome space has to offer. It was hot--Florida hot--but with good drinks and great company, it was nothing but good times. My sister-in-law was visiting from out of town, and since this is her favorite brewery, we had to make the stop. We kicked things off with some amazing beers: * I had the Camper Van * My wife had the Chardanee * And my sister-in-law went for the Secret Stash Home State's beer menu is wild in the best way--tons of variety, unique flavors, and something to please every palate. And yes, you can take home the magic with 4-packs to go, which we 100% did. We grabbed a board game (UNO showdown commenced) and decided to dive into some food. Their food menu might be small, but it's mighty. I was about to order the pulled pork when a super friendly team member recommended the Cubana, calling it his personal favorite. I took the advice and WOW--absolutely unreal. Perfectly balanced, savory, melty, crispy... just, chef's kiss. My wife went with the Caprese Sandwich (refreshing and satisfying), and my sister-in-law had the Spicy Pimento Grilled Cheese (packed with flavor and a kick). All three of us were blown away--and the beers kept flowing. I finished off with a Dunewalker, and she had the Cowabunga. Every pour was spot-on. We laughed, we ate, we sipped, we Uno'd, and we left happy. Home State has that rare magic of being both a neighborhood hangout and a destination brewery. It's the kind of place you bring family to, where your dog is welcome, the staff treats you like a regular, and you walk away already planning your next visit. Thank you, Home State, for another unforgettable afternoon. This is what local brewing is all about.

    Beertenders are always nice and friendly and quick! Ambiance is fun both inside and out and have a lot of seating options. Like all of the different events they have. They now have some food options and have food trucks weekly. Beers are alright. I like other local beers more but nice to have a brewery only five minutes away.

    Beautiful taproom with amazing and knowledgeable staff! Many beer and non- beer options to choose from. So much room for private events with space to spare for regular customers. General trivia, themed trivia, jukebox bingo, poker, vendor markets, music themed events ... all great things to bring people of various interests together.

    Fun place that offered a New Year's Day brunch special. Can't remember the name of the breakfast sandwich I had, but it was very good. Sampled a couple different beers and they were likewise good.

    Awesome turf area perfect to let kids run around
    Allison R.

    Great brewery with awesome indoor and outdoor space complete with a small turf area perfect for letting kids run around. The bartender David was very friendly and offered great recommendations when I told him what I liked. I had both the Vienna Lager and the Amber Ale and both were delicious. This brewery had lots of open spaces and a very chill vibe to it, along with delicious beer, so I will definitely be back!

    We attended one of the boozy book fair events that they host. We love that they're partnering with local book shops, but do wish that there were more than just one or two tables full of books. When I think of a book fair, I want to live out my scholastic book fair dreams as a child and would love to have multiple local bookshops on site offering a variety of different books to choose from. On this particular occasion, my husband tried their Porter, which he really enjoyed. It's a little lighter than he would've thought for a Porter, but overall enjoyed the flavor. Because it was close to St. Patrick's Day one of their guest ciders was Magner's Irish cider, which I was absolutely thrilled by! It's hard to find Magner's on draft and I certainly enjoyed it while we were there. In fact, it's probably one of the sole reason's we had more than one round of drinks. lol

For dinner, my husband got the hamburger and said that he wouldn't have put the jam on it. He got it on the side, but even when he put on, even though it was very little, overpowered the taste of the burger. I got the special for the month of May, which was a taco salad and while the meat was delicious, it was actually too much of it. I would've liked to have more lettuce in my actual salad.

    I finally got to try the new PopStroke in Hamlin, and wow... this place is such a win for the area…read more We went right before the New Year, and having a Tiger Woods-designed mini golf course literally a stone's throw from my house still feels wild. As someone who loves mini golf, not having to drive 30 minutes to the closest PopStroke anymore--and instead just 5 minutes--is a total game changer. The course itself absolutely delivers. It's designed to be fun, social, and approachable, not overly difficult. Think smooth carpet greens, sand traps, and enclosed hills around each hole that actually encourage creative shots--rolling the ball off the slopes and lining up sneaky hole-in-one attempts. It's mini golf that rewards imagination more than precision, which makes it perfect for families and groups. Yes, it was very busy, but honestly? PopStroke crushed the layout. Even with five of us playing, we were never stuck waiting. As soon as we finished one hole, we flowed right into the next. The pacing was smooth and surprisingly efficient for how crowded it was. One of my favorite parts is how social this place feels. You get your own golf ball, there's great food and drinks, and the setup encourages you to hang out--not rush through. There are bean bag games, foosball, and a fantastic bar, and the best part? Drinks are delivered directly to you on the course. Every hole even has built-in drink holders everywhere, which feels like such a small detail but makes a huge difference. Pricing is $25 per round, but there's also a $25/month unlimited yearly membership, which honestly feels like a steal if you live nearby (and especially if you've got kids or love entertaining friends). Fair warning: this isn't a quick in-and-out experience. Between golfing, eating, drinking, and just hanging out, you'll be here a while--but that's kind of the magic. It turns into quality time with friends and family, and that's exactly what PopStroke is designed for. Hamlin keeps adding great spots, and PopStroke might be one of my favorites yet. Mini golf + food + drinks + a welcoming vibe = a total home run. Families are going to love this place, and I already can't wait to go back.

We were seated outside on the patio and it was a lovely day. The service was great, we were seated quickly, our service was extremely attentive, and who seems to be the manger did a lovely table-touch to check in on us during the meal. We went for dinner and as the sun was setting, they lifted the patio screens and made the ambience very pleasant. Our server immediately took our drink orders and returned with free chips and salsa, which they were on top of refilling through the meal if needed. We agreed that the drinks were probably the best part of the meal. My fiancé enjoyed his tequila old fashioned and I had a refreshing prickly pear mocktail. The food was very ok. I ordered the chicharron tostones as my entree even though it's technically a starter. You get two tostones topped with a couple thin sliced pieces of chicharron for $16, which was definitely not worth it since half of it was nearly inedible due to the tostones being hard as rock. They were also place on top of a mayo-based sauce that did not go well with the flavors and was overpowering since it was drowning in the sauce. My fiancé ordered the chimichanga, and the portion size was huge. It had a decent amount of meat and a TON of rice, which he was ok with since he loves rice, but would have been way too much for my personal liking. Overall, all of the flavors were very meh and fell a little flat for me. We agreed that we would maybe come back and try out other meal items, or at least come back to enjoy drinks out on the patio. Also curious about their hidden speak easy so we will likely return for that and not the food.

We were less interested in the bingo night and more fixated on getting fed. We decided to sit down at the bar as most of the tables were full with families, couples, and small groups of 4-6 people. We were helped by the bartender who was patient and gave us time to take in the ambience and the menu. We decided to share an appetizer and entree. Amused by the name we decided on the Lush Mush. Yummmmm....the port reduction... delectable. For those hesitating on this selection because of the blue cheese fear not! It was not strong but made mild and gentle by the cream. The shepherds pie was comforting and satisfying. A hearty farmer's style meal. We were satisfied. The establishment was clean. We briefly explored the outside bar area which had multiple TV's for sports aficionados. It's a great locals spot for this are of Winter Garden which is a little ways from the main area. There is a secret room to explore which I didn't get a chance to enter. Hopefully, if I return on a weekend it will be open and I'll get to see what is inside. All-in-all I recommend this establishment. With the new management it's off to a great start. They had different events each night including live music, so come on over and stay awhile!
