    This is Blue
    Jamie P.

    Came to this brewery for the first time because a friend was doing a BBQ pop up in the back. The bar is in the middle of the room with lots of seating around it and around the room. There was a long list of beers available as well as some wines and ciders from other businesses. I tried the This is Blue which is a sweeter sour beer that reminded me of the light blue Gatorade which I love. I sampled the Base Lager and that is a good simple lager. Parking in Baldwin is always a toss up for me and had to circle the Publix lot near by for parking.

    Absolute favorite brewery in the whole wide world. Incredible sours and stouts. My favorite of my time there was the 11 Alive (white imperial stout with coffee and coconut notes). Divine. Truly. Cute bartenders and chill atmosphere.

    We had an absolutely amazing time at tactical brewing on Saturday. This location definitely gets busy and has a lot of foot traffic. They do have events most nights. They have pop up food experiences as well. It just so happened while we were there on Saturday that they had a pop-up food experience and it definitely stayed pretty busy. They have a good selection of beers to choose from several that are collaborations, but overall really enjoyed all of their sours. If you're like me, you may not be a sour beer drinker, but I love that tactical beers do not have that sour finish that most sours have. it almost feels like drinking an adult Capri or an adult version of Hawaiian punch. Really enjoy their beers and definitely will be back.! One of my favorites was melancholy, which is a watermelon sour. It really is delicious and while I get the watermelon, it honestly tasted more like a pink starburst to me. I also enjoyed it's Untappd, which was the apple pie crumble and ice cream sour. Really delicious and for somebody who loves fall flavors, It really started to put the fall spirit in me.

    Love this spot in Baldwin park! Will officially be my new go to brewery when in the area. They have a huge assortment of great ipas and sours. They also have food on rotation. I love that it is dog friendly as the dogs were beyond well trained here. Service is fantastic. You cannot go wrong. Slowly working my way thru their beer menu! You must try their watermelon sour it is a necessity.

    I'd love to try this place again because it would have been great had our personal space not been taken over by unattended young children. An old friend of mine came to visit me this weekend to catch up. We came here on a Saturday afternoon. We got some drinks and sat down at the couch area. The staff were super friendly. We were there enjoying our time for about an hour. Then at least 7 children and babies showed up. One of the men came up and said to the other parents, "I'm going to make a diaper station right here." And put a pile of diapers and wipes on the ottoman where our drinks were. The parents dropped the kids off on the remaining couch seats next to us, and formed a circle in by the bar with nobody even watching the kids. How do I know nobody was watching the kids? Because multiple kids sat literally on our feet and on our laps. A child even tried to reach into our pretzel bag for pretzels. This went on for an hour. We tried moving to a corner spot on the couch to give the kids room so they wouldn't sit on us and could play together, and we still were being pestered by them. The parents didn't even bat an eye until a toddler small enough to be in diapers started pushing on my lap to get off the couch. We never got an apology. Did I mention all do these small children were in a bar, sat next to (and on) two complete strangers, with very little supervision? I don't understand how a nice afternoon spent catching up with a friend over beers turned into us trying to keep children away from our beer and pretzels and off of our laps. I am very let down by this and appalled at these parents.

    Great selection. I drank the Lion Juice, a sour that is actually sweet. They don't have food but allow you to bring food in. Not many places like that. Been here once and don't come to Orlando that often but would love to come back

    Was in there for a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening and it was AMAZING. Not a huge beer person, but all their sour beers were superb, not too sour, not too beer-y. The other beers were good too, but the colors from the sours were the highlight (pun intended) of night. Nice venue, although it was quite empty at 7pm on a Saturday. Good for us!

    We've stopped into Tactical Brewing a couple of times. They have a good amount of seating inside as well as outdoor seating available. It's a fun, casual vibe with friendly bartenders. They do not serve food here, but seem to often have food trucks out back or you can bring in outside food. I love the wide variety of beers here and all that I have tasted are really yummy with nice depth of flavor. We tend to go for sours and stouts and usually can find a few options for each. They also have several other varieties and you can purchase beer to take home as well. On our recent visit, we took home a four pack of their Keanu Tumblereeves, a PB&J style beer that was soooo delicious! We also enjoyed live music while having some beers there. It's friendly for doggies and little ones; we saw several of each having a good time. This is definitely one of my favorite breweries in town!

    Tactical will forever be my favorite brewery. I was able to try their Bumble Z draft beer which is a sour with blackberry honey, blackberries, cinnamon, and vanilla. This was one of the best sours I've ever had! It is very similar to their "Melancholy" (my personal favorite) but the cinnamon gives it an extra twist!

    #16, Speakeasy Burger, and some Rap Snacks
    Ra S.

    I came primarily for the Speakeasy Burger pop-up and really enjoyed myself here at Tactical Brewing. It's super casual with seating both indoor and outdoor and a big bar in the center. The service was great and bartenders were really helpful and patient with a newcomer wanting to try something new. My usual go-to brews are porters and stouts so, the fruit-forward menu here was a little overwhelming, finally after a few different tastes, I landed on the #16 Lazer Dragon 3000 and 8% ABV Imperial Sour with dragon fruit, sudachi, tamarind, and yuzu. It was a delicious pairing with my spicy smash burger! I highly recommend this brewery especially if you're with proclaimed non-beer drinkers.

    Kolsch

    It was a hot day and we wanted to cool off with some beer. They have such a great selection of beers and sours. The Kolsch I got had to be one of the best tasting Kolsch style beers I've ever had. The Guava Mango Marshmallow sour was so tasty, you could definitely drink a few :-) Service was great and the give military discounts! They also made sure to say, "Thank you for your service" which was very appreciated!

    Pineapple and watermelon sour
    Mel Z.

    It had been on my list of places to try and finally decided to stop by and check out their selection. The brewery is nicely set up with inside and outside seating. There are a couple of game areas and they do have live music on the weekends. It dies get a bit crowded so be prepared to wait to order or get a seat. The staff was nice, attentive and happy to answer questions or make suggestions. I asked for their sours and I got to try 2 of them before ordering which it sure was appreciated. I like that they have a small pour and a larger one, so that you get to try different flavors if you like. We got the pineapple sour (Of the Lifestyle) and the watermelon sour (Meloncholy). The other sours are too sweet and these were a bit less. Wish they had one that was more tangy and much more less sweet. We tried their lager and that was smooth and refreshing. We will definitely be back!

    We came here to hang out before we went to dinner with another friend. We walked in and the place was empty except for one other table. We sat down at the bar and met our bartender. I feel bad but I forgot her name. Blonde women, shaved sides. Really nice. We spoke about how she hates when she goes to another bar and the bartenders are stuck up or boring. We ended up chilling and the wife and friend got a flight tasting. I tasted the only sour on tap which was good. My buddy got the purple can that to me was too strong. The place is nice and clean. They're very pro military and law enforcement. I'd come back.

As a loyal fan of Orlando's local brewery scene (shoutout to my neighborhood favorites Tactical and Ten10), I don't venture far from my comfort zone. But every now and then, I'll travel a daring five miles for a place that feels like it was plucked straight out of the Pacific Northwest and this is that place. The beer? Amazing. The staff? Incredible. The space? Open, welcoming, and plenty of seating to settle in for a while. Now let's talk about the only adventure here: parking. The immediate lot is small and can feel like you're competing in the Orlando Parking Olympics. But there's additional parking across the street to the left near some office buildings. Finding parking in Orlando sometimes feels as hard as snagging a spot in NYC, but trust me, it's worth the effort. They're constantly brewing something new okay, maybe not every single week, but it sure feels like it and somehow it's always excellent. There's always something fresh and creative on tap. So yes, I absolutely recommend this place. If you can park, come on in. You won't regret it.

Parking was…read morea bit difficult to find, but then became easier when I was told I could park at the bbq restaurant next door. We ordered directly at the bar, and tried their moonshine iced lemonade tea. For 8 bucks, it was a refreshing drink, and the alcohol lingered lightly. I was surprised they allowed outside food, but they have a partnership with the bbq restaurant next door. So I got a pulled pork sandwich with bbq beans as side, and banana pudding (about 18 dollars total for all). The sandwich was fair with ample amount of pork, but could have been a bit more flavorful. Thankfully the bbq sauce on the side helped. The pork was tender enough. The bbq definitely helped the beans to be more enjoyable. It only it had a bit more kick. The banana pudding tasted like Publix pudding, and looked to be missing actual bananas. It has wafers instead. Though, I still enjoyed it and can't complain when it was under 4 bucks. The tables were sit yourself, and outdoor seating was available as well. After you order your food the drinks, and pay at the bar, they will deliver it directly to you. It was quiet when I went on a Friday, but there was a live band playing Caribbean music. Dogs are allowed here, and the dogs people bring can be pretty big. While the food was just above average, the drinks are still very good. Since the food is from their partner restaurant, I am still giving them 5 stars because of their great and reasonably priced drinks in a social and fun atmosphere. The service was very friendly and helpful too. Last time I visited, they had the mechanical bull riding contest, and I will definitely do that if they ever have that again. It is still a great place to have drinks with your friends and family. Overall: A-
