Very friendly environment. The local run club seems to be ever present here. Went for trivia on a Wednesday night. They have rotating themes so check on their website before you go. Great beer. Cory and Nick were fantastic bartenders. Speakeasy Burger food truck was there who made great smashburgers. Will definitely go back.
Tactical is such a cute little place, everyone was so friendly and our group was able to come in and just sit and talk for as long as we wanted with no pressure. Now I'm not really a beer drinker, so when I went up to order, I asked what kind of seltzer they had and if there's any berry flavored options, the guy helping me came up with a really good suggestion, to at least try. I told him what I didn't like about beer and all of that, and he said alright I got the one for you. So I tried the melon sour and boy was it good! Didn't bring the dog this time, but I have in the past and the patio is a great place for him! Tactical has a great location in Baldwin and everything is so dog friendly!
This is a semi regular stop for me, easily my tempting l favorite brewery in Orlando. As a stout/porter and generally flavored beer fan I find this to be the only brewery with options for myself. Many of the brews are listed as sours but don't let that stop you! The flavor always comes through well and you will often be (pleasantly) surprised by the pairings. They also offer some old school video games, run club on Thursdays, food trucks and local charity nights. Easy to spend a whole evening here.
This was my first time coming to Tactical Brewing and it turns out they throw events here! One of my husbands coworkers booked the place for a birthday party and it ended up being a lot of fun! Tactical has a rotating list of food vendors throughout the week, and this visit happened to have food from Carlito's Way food truck along with some other small bites that were brought in by other guest. The drinks of course are the stars of this show with them having their own local options along with other familiar names. My go to was a recommendation from one of the bartenders called the Guavango Montoya which has a sweet taste to it even though it's listed as a sour. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone stopping by there! I'd love to be one back and try this place outside of an event to have more of a true experience of this place, but it's definitely a great spot to host a big group if you're looking for a chill local bar!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!

Military themed brewery. How has nobody ever thought of this before? Just a cool fun spot to try some great brew. Tried a few of the beers and got some merch. Nice open floor plan and friendly service. I like the neighborhood here as well. read more

Definitely a Florida brewery. At least they had one non hazy IPA on tap. Smooth, piney, and very smooth. Brought my girlfriend who hates beer, and I had her try Gator Dung. She didn't believe it was beer, and asked for a can for home. Finally turned over to trying beer. read more

I have been wanting to try this brewery out for a long time now as I always pass by this brewery on my daily jogs in Baldwin Park and I finally had the opportunity to this past weekend. I first have to say I love how quaint and intimate this brewery is, and it feels like such a relaxed and chill place to be... no bells and whistles needed. Now for their beer menu it wasn't anything big but it had a bit of something for everyone with out of the box beers like chocolate peppermint and I believe a creamsicle beer just to name a few which are seasonal items. There were also a few items on the menu that were sold out on tap that I had actually wanted to try as well. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed all 4 of the beers that I had on my flight, each were satisfying and refreshing in their own right. What is also a plus is that if you get hungry they allow you to order food from the Italian restaurant next door to eat with your beer which I had really appreciated because what goes better with pizza then beer?! Am I right? Overall I say, if you are a beer lover like I am definitely check this spot out the next time you're around Baldwin Park! I also picked up a nifty shirt on my way out. read more

Grabbed some beers at Tactical Brewing on Sunday afternoon. They have a distinctly sweeter style to their beer, which was fine, but not something that really appealed to me. Quality: The brewers at Tactical Brewing definitely prefer things sweeter than I do. During our visit we made our way through two Flights, and what I could not get over was the sugar rush. Now some of it was expected; the Not Now Arctic Puffin, a peppermint puff latte golden stout, Roses Are Red, Poems Are Hard candy sour, and Cosmos Pie, a pie inspired sour, I knew they would be sweet. But Afghan Summers, a wheat ale, and Theoretical Dominos, a New England IPA, less so. And Cuddly Cupacabra, a mango habanero sour, and Millorona, an imperial stout, how is this still happening? And if that was not enough for you, there was a beer slushy with chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Again it was partially my doing, but I also feel that it is going to take a certain kind of beer drinker to really fall in love with this odd assortment of sweet beers, and that is not me. Quantity: Standard size pours for Flights and Drafts. Value: $2-$4 for Small Pours. $6-$8 for Draft Pours. Ambiance: Tactical Brewing is located in a strange town center in the Florida town of Baldwin Park. Driving in, don't be surprised when it suddenly feels like you are in a private community, that is correct. This sprawling neighborhood, has essentially created its own downtown, complete with supermarket, restaurants, and even a brewery. The brewery itself is one large room, with a centralized bar, and seating all around. Multiple televisions hang on the walls and over the bar. There are also a half dozen tables out front, which is under a covering protecting guests from any rain. As we were leaving a musician was setting up in the inside corner, so don't be surprised to find live music. But know the inside speakers did not make it outside, so you may be sitting in quiet outdoors. Crowd: Just a few guests on Sunday afternoon. Likely a combination of our early visit and odd location. Service: Loved the guy behind the bar. Extremely funny, and happy to provide information and tastes of different beers. Also, he was darting around to clean up after each guest. Parking: Easy street parking in the development's strange town square. read more

They are still in their soft opening phase (just open Fri, Sat, and Sun). The manager was super nice and informative about their beer and ask their progress of trying to get more hours of being open. We went on a Sunday. They had Sunday funday specials including Beermosas and a cold brew coffee mixed with a coffee stout. They also had live music that was just perfect for the mood. Kids are welcome and the atmosphere was very laid back with some games available to play. Go and try the white stout! It was amazing. read more
Today I got to partake in Tactical's Soft Opening and what a success it was! I grabbed a table while my husband waited in line to get us beers. While waiting, I was approached by 1 employee and the owner to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything. I thought that was very thoughtful considering especially the owner, was overwhelmed with everyone and everything going on. The inside is very spacious, plenty of room for big groups and a big bar to sit and drink beers there and they have a long table full of merch to buy. We got 3 beers: MRE Hop Soup, Base Camp, and Celestial Mechanics. All 3 were super tasty! I really enjoyed them. I'm glad this place is finally open. I've heard they've gone through some fun to try to get the business going, I work a few blocks away and can't wait to return! read more

The owner and staff are welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere is laid-back. They offer a good variety of beers, my favorite being the 11 Alive, a tasty nitro white Stout aged on toasted coconut. Pick your own adventure while you're there, either challenge your friends to some Mario or Street Fighter on one of their 2 video games, cheer your team on one of their many large screen TVs or get in touch with your inner artist with a steady diet of happy clouds and baby squirrels compliments of Bob Ross. There is also live music that's always easy to listen to. You can bring in food to eat or buy a small bag of some yummy flavors of popcorn to munch on. Sunday specials include their stout/cold brew combo, which I recommend after a Sunday trip to read more
Decent place to grab a beer, they have a great variety and a convenient location! I didn't care much about the ambiance and didn't feel like we were at a brewery so we only stayed for one drink; but I think it might have to do more with the current situation with social distancing! We will give it another try in the future! read more

Awesome stop on the Ale Trail! Super clean and friendly. Couldn't chose which ale to try so did a flight. Favorite beer was Blood Stripe red ale. Beermosas on Sundays as well as coffee shots infused in their craft stout. Absolutely worth a return visit. read more
I'm not a beer person but my man is a beer connoisseur. I'm a wine drinker so I was happy to see at least 4 options for wine. I got the Pinot noir for $8 and he tried some beer. I don't know the name of it but he enjoyed it. The atmosphere was awesome. Dogs are allowed inside and they had plenty of them! We sat outside and watched people walk and drive by. It was a fun relaxing evening. I look forward to going back and trying out that Pinot Noir again (only one option of Pinot noir). read more
Got to check out this place before they were open. A friend of mine knew one of the owners and decided to have their "daddy's baby shower" there. It was a really nice place, but wheat really got me was the beer. I know, seems funny to say since it's a brewery, but this place really knows how to make their stuff. I've been to a lot of local breweries where you can just tell that it's a microbrew. To me, microbrews always have a specific and slight off flavor. This place was the complete opposite. The beers were probably some of the best tasting I've had. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

First time in this area. Great beers and company. So happy to see them taking precautions (social distancing, wearing masks, etc. ). It was our first time there, most definitely not our last. The staff was delightful. We came to get our growler filled, ended up staying for a drink at the bar. Highly recommend. read more

Came here for the first time and ended up staying for about 3 hours because it was so much fun! I ordered the "Fanny pack". I originally didn't know what to order so I asked the bartender for something light and crisp and this is what he recommended. Didn't disappoint, very tasty! My boyfriend ordered a lager (don't remember the name) but he had about 4 of them so I'm sure it was good! I also ordered a stout (don't remember the name but it was tasty!) I loved how clean this brewery was. I've been to many that are kinda grungy. Definitely mixes well with the Baldwin Park vibe. They had cornhole out front and we ended up playing with a few other couples which made the experience even more fun! Definitely come check this place out! read more

We love breweries and love supporting veteran businesses. The team is very friendly and definitely more customer service oriented than the majority of breweries. The decor is low key military with a on trend twist. Family and pet friendly with a great location! Aztec death whistle is probably my fav beer of all time; so sad it wasn't available this trip but the breakfast brunchie was read more

Got a flight. Was able to try other selections my buddies got. Really great beer selection that covers many taste varieties. Not a massive space, but they've got plenty of tvs if you want to just hang and watch something. I like the seating arrangements. They've got video games towards the back. read more

I had extremely high hopes, one of the owners is a Marine and thus I wanted to support. What I noticed right away was the vast selection available on tap. From a completely personal perspective, I find this off putting because although it shows a initiative to try news things (awesome) it also shows me that they don't do one or two things right and consistently. About half the beers available were a type of sour (personally I am not a fan) and when in Rome I tried the Crayon Eater... obviously. I could not drink more than half of it, I tried; I really tried to drink the various different style beers here and enjoy it. However, my personal taste palette would not allow me to enjoy the plentiful options available. If you like sour beer and experimentation, this place is for you. If your favor a traditional stout, lager or amber ale... this place is not. I feel that I am being honest with this review, from one Marine to another it's the blunt honesty I'd expect. The ambiance is awesome, super NES minis are available for everyone; kids were hanging out with their parents and all walks of life were present. This part of the brewery I loved and appreciated the most. The wall of squadron patches and challenge coins reverberated the feels, because if you know, you know. Please improve the Hefe, you're close to something great. read more

Great brewery with great atmosphere, beer and owners! Go in and show your support for our armed forces as well as your love for craft beer. The Valhalla Staycation was a great IPA with Loki yeast and other fun tidbits! The Black Spot was a really smooth Black Lager brewed with oyster shells, awesome! Had a cool conversation with the owner about the place and all the cool things they are doing at this great place! Go check it out and drink some great beer already! read more
