If you love great craft beer, Twelve Talons is one of the best kept secrets in Orlando. So Travis, the owner/brewer is in my opinion a genius. He brews beer like some people paint master pieces. The beer here is next level, especially if you appreciate the nuances of craft beer. Sarah was our server the two times I have been here and, what a great person. And she so knows her beer. The first time I was here Travis explained the concept of the 3 foot raven or crow, but upon making this review, the mythology escapes me. Still... whatever they are doing here is working. And... if you love craft beer, this is a must visit. There is beer, mead, wine and mixed drinks. And they have a dedicated food truck with some decent options. The BEER: Papa Midnight coconut Imperial Stout 10.8% ABV... so imagine a mounds or almond joy, but it is a stout. The nose is all toasted coconut. And it is so very great. Da Minted peppermint Imperial Stout 10.8% ABV... so I saved this one for last because I thought it would be sweet, and it is not. Dark chocolate and mint. Very delicious.... The Hop & Haze IPA 5.6% ABV... this a great hazy, white grapefruit, clean flavors and totally crushable She's Not Rude, Just Chai spiced red ale 5.5% ABV... the chai makes this red ale smell sweet and it is anything but that Beauregard's Berry End fruited sour 5.8% ABV... has a sweet jam nose, it is a sour, and it is sour, but those jam notes make it next level... "it's a little earthy and that comes from the mushrooms" To Sir, Wit Love gose 4.7% ABV... Light flavorful, slightly salty, slightly sour, not everyone's palette, but definitely mine Path to Gold golden ale 5% ABV... so very crushable, this is your everyday beer for everyday people She's a Bonnie Lass Irish Red 5.8%... wow, the taste is indescribable, it is red ale with balance A Norse of a Different Color hazy IPA 7% ABV... so high in IBUs, great mouth feel, if you like a piny hoppy IPA, you will be a fan Oolong Time, No See session mead 6% ABV... I am totally in love with this session mead. So graceful, tasteful and unique. I think this is my favorite!!! The Hummingbird Special sweet mead 11.8% ABV... says fermented Florida wild flowers honey, but it has a sweet and nutty almost peanut flavor. It is super sweet and quite tasty. Like a sweet wine. TT hard Cider 6.6% ABV... dry cider, like an an English cider, really liked it I so wish ai lived closer to Twelve Talons. So many great and unique flavors in craft beers, ciders and meads. There is something great going on here. Like and share. read more

First time visiting this brewery. I had the coffee blonde which was pretty good and hard to find usually. The venue could use since he'll with their curb appeal to draw a larger crowd. The staff was friendly but a bit slow. read more

Came to Twelve Talons for the first time recently and had a good time! They have some fun music playing and lots of board games to choose from. Their beer selection is pretty good as well. I got the strawberry ale which I would say was decent but not overwhelmingly amazing. The staff was a little bit slower when I came in, but they were very friendly. I will definitely come back at some point when I'm in the area. read more

Again, it have been a very long time since we've been out here and since we are out and about, we decided to stop in and have a couple of drinks. Sara and Travis are always super wonderful to engage with! I got the hard seltzer in the orange vanilla and then in the fruit punch. Both were very tasty! My husband got The Senator which is a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. So good! read more

If you haven't tried Twelve Talons yet, you should. Very casual, great variety of different style of beer, mead, and wine cocktails. Lots of unique flavor profiles. Travis, the owner, is always welcoming. He definitely know his craft. They have a food truck outside that serves amazing food. Variations on birria tacos and bowls. read more

Quite possibly the most interesting of the places we stopped on our latest brewery outting... Why? Well, while the outside was pretty much non-descript, the inside was very nicely decorated with lamps and such hanging from the ceiling. Plus the bar was spacious and there was plenty of comfortable seating inside. What also caught my eye was their menu - chock full of seltzers which surprised me. I hadn't seen that in quite some time. We enjoyed a couple of their beers there this evening and the service was friendly and welcoming. It's located right off one of the major arteries leading into and out of Orlando, so getting there and out is easy. Can't say that about many places I've been to, to date... read more

When it comes to breweries, truthfully, only one thing matters. The beer. And the truth about Twelve Talons is that it's a new, beautiful, comfortable spot on Orlando's heavily-trafficked South Street, and....wait for it.......they make REALLY good beer. Boy, did this part of Orlando need a brewery with a relaxed vibe. That plays good music and serves delicious beer. Let's also go ahead and mention the people who run the place. They are as friendly and personable as you'll find anywhere. Currently, they don't brew lagers or pilsners. So you'll get stouts, hazy IPAs, seltzers, berliners, red ales, and the like. But they're all pretty dang good. Even there fall spiced beer, which uses yam rather than pumpkin, is something I've gone back for three times now. So let's wrap this. Orlando, congratulations. You have a new, reliably good brewery in the central part of town. Enjoy it. Cause we need places like this to stick around. Cheers. read more

Love supporting this local brewery! The ambiance is fantastic--laid-back, welcoming, and perfect for hanging out. They host fun events and have games that make it easy to unwind with friends. I recently joined their run club, and it's always a highlight of my week. Nothing beats grabbing a refreshing drink after a good run with the group. Great vibes, great people, and great beer--definitely a community gem! read more

The location is conveniently located off 408 and has a large grassy area in addition to a small paved parking lot. Walking in there are indoor tables and a bar area. The decor is simple which suits the vibes. I was a little conflicted between getting a cocktail or a beer. I was able to speak with a bartender who helped me choose a beer. It was great! I was also able to taste one of the cocktails and that was good too. It was definitely a fun spot on our crawl for my friend's birthday! read more

Beer: I love sour beers, and at this place, I found a Gose beer called "Feel the Vibe." It was good--not one of my favorites, but still enjoyable. Service: Good service, and they let me try before ordering. Ambience: It's nice and pleasant. read more

We tried this spot during their soft opening. The inside is welcoming and pretty with a relaxed vibe. The bartenders were very friendly and happy to answer questions and make recommendations. We tried a couple of beers (Wait! Lemme Overthink This & Livin the Lime Life), a cocktail (Dueling Dragons), and mead (Render Unto Cyser). All were good! They had some collabs with Rockpit Brewing, another local favorite of mine. There was food available via a truck outside that I believe will be a permanent fixture along with others. We didn't partake this time, but it looked good. Overall, this will be a great addition to the area and to the Orlando brewery scene! read more

Friendly atmosphere, incredibly professional and knowledgeable staff. Went with my wife and her family. We all tried something different and everyone liked their beer. Pricing is fair for artisan style brews. Clean conditions and kid friendly enough for my somewhat well-behaved toddler. Worth visiting. We will definitely be back. read more

Was here for soft opening and this is going to be a great place even after the official opening. They have some great friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a variety of draft beers, wine, and wine based cocktails that were delicious. We did not stay that long since it was later on a week night for us and for soft opening we didn't want to keep them. There is a bar area and table/chairs as well. They also have a food truck that will set up as well and they had some good choices on the menu they were sharing at the bar (they were not open when we were there). Looking forward to seeing all they brew and serve here once fully open! read more

I'm surprised I haven't found this spot sooner! This was a perfect vibe for a few drinks over good conversation. We tried the Richard's Tropical Staycation and Nectar of the wilds - both were tasty drinks. The bar tender was friendly and quick to take our orders, the bar was clean and well kept. I'll definitely be back for their sours and mead. The only downside is the parking is limited but it's still worth the visit! read more

This was our first visit. There was plenty of parking. I liked the wide open feeling of one wall completely glass windows. The beer selection was diverse. I'm not huge into hops so I went for the blonde which was yummy. The session mead was also fantastic! I want to try their fresh squeezed lemonade. Their women's bathroom had a really nice changing table which I really loved to see. I asked and they said they're inside and outside dog friendly. The bartender was quick to help and also clear our table for us as we left. 2 food trucks out front with yummy food! read more

This past weekend was my first time visiting Twelve Talons since they opened. Usually when I visit a new brewery I'm pretty skeptical, with most new breweries it takes a few months to get things sorted out but I must say I was pretty impressed with Twelve Talons! I tried their mango sour IPA and the peppermint stout, both were wonderful! The sour IPA tasted like it had fresh puree and the stout tasted like a liquid York peppermint patty. I also tried a sip of my friends golden ale which was delightful! Definitely a crushable beer! Although I did not eat, they did have two food trucks outside which was nice, I feel like a brewery with no food can sometimes be tough. I can't wait to see what else Twelve Talons has up their sleeve! read more

It's finally open! It's been a long time coming but so glad this brewery opened up. The team running it are friendly and offer a wealth of knowledge on their brews.

Definitely will come back. read more

The mead was amazing! The beers were fine too, but it was the meads that put this over the top for me. Highly recommend the Nectar of the Winds! read more

I like trying new local craft breweries and stopped by Twelve Talons when I saw they opened up a few months ago. They offer a unique selection of beer, and you can get different sizes if you want to try a few. We returned last month when we found out they were having an Olympic marathon trials watch party, which was so much fun! The outdoor seating area and food trucks available were great, and the staff did an awesome job accommodating the large crowd. Will definitely be back! read more

Great to have another brewery in Orlando! We visited for their grand opening and had a great time. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful exterior of the building - angular and modern with plenty of large glass windows to invite you in and keep the place bright. Once inside, we were instantly greeted by the kind staff and given a quick rundown of the place and the offerings on tap. Speaking of their offerings, they had 20 beers + meads on tap along with a couple of wine options - truly something for everyone. I went with the hazy IPA and later the cider, both of which were delicious and well crafted. The cider was especially great for this time of year - the perfect blend of brut and crisp. Looking forward to coming back soon to try more of what they have on offer. Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Twelve Talons is a new brewery and we sincerely loved it. The staff is so awesome. Their beer choices were great! Love that they also have different games to play while you're enjoying your beer. There is also a food truck right outside, we didn't get to try it this time but definitely will next time! read more

Looking for a place with 8 of the 12 taps IPAs?? This ain't it. The beer at 12 Talons is interesting, sometimes edgy and there should be something for everyone. The menu changes weekly so best to double check social media before a trip over but I enjoy this for one big reason. Despite the heat outside there's often a big stout in the lineup, as well as a refreshing cider and mead. The brewer often has something which he's experimenting/experimented with in the lineup which is worth delving into, and ask nicely and you just might get a taste before you go big. The place is always immaculate, the glassware pristine and on display, and (this is a first for me to comment on) the absolute cleanest rest rooms I have ever seen in any brewing establishment. Looking out the windowall to the east the MCO inbound/outbound flights come into view. There is outdoor seating and canines are welcome. Food trucks are there on occasion, again visit social media for times, with no set schedule. I go here for the beer, and it has yet to disappoint. I doubt it will anytime soon. One little item, the road out front of TT is one way going west, if you come from the north on Primrose make the left into the field behind and take the dirt road to the back where the signs screams Brewery! Keep that one quiet. ;) read more

I had been looking forward to this new brewery opening and was excited to go, but I have to admit I was a little underwhelmed. The positives were that the brewery has a modern look and feel, I love the windows at the front and the inside is simplistic and clean. There is also a small outdoor patio area and food trucks on site. The beer/mead list was pretty limited but the most underwhelming part was the service...there were two bartenders working on the Sunday afternoon we went and neither seemed thrilled to be there. We sat at the bar and we were struggling a bit with ordering since it was brand new and we weren't sure what to try, and our bartender didn't try to help us at all or give any suggestions. When we asked about a particular ingredient listed she said "I don't know, I think it's a fruit." She seemed annoyed that it was taking us a while to order. Once we were served our selections, we were completely ignored...even though it wasn't busy at all. We expected to have some conversational chit chat since we were sitting at the bar (isn't that what bartenders are supposed to do?) but even after a few attempts of our own it became clear that the bartender was not interested in engaging. It almost felt kind of awkward. At one point the second bartender came over to close our check and he wasn't necessarily any friendlier. We were there to celebrate my dad's birthday and he's super into brewing, discussing different beers, etc so it was disappointing to have this experience. Giving them the benefit of the doubt that they may still be finding their footing since they just opened, but as a general prerequisite bartenders should be outgoing friendly people...it really makes a difference in the overall experience. read more

I've been to Twelve Talons twice now and have enjoyed it both times. Their beers are pretty good and I like the vibe inside, it's simple but welcoming. I didn't have anything from the food truck but the line was long and smells were delicious. Give this place a try. read more

This is a good place for mead and other unique drinks! The bar staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of their items as well. It was fun to learn about the different meads and where/how they were made. They also have games and food trucks for if you want some entertainment and a bite to eat. read more

Had to check out the newly opened Twelve Talons Brewery on South Street. The taproom is a cozy little place with a vibrant vibe. There is also an outdoor space and a couple of food trucks if you need some sustenance while partaking of alcohol, which I appreciate. We felt like sitting at the bar to get to know the bartenders. I ordered a flight because there were too many good sounding choices and I happen to know the two brewers here are super talented, so I couldn't pick just one. My beers of choice were #s 1-4 on the menu, and the beers here are always on rotation, so you understand my dilemma. All of them were fantastic, as expected. If you're into really good beer brewed right on site and straight to the tap, come check it out. read more

A proper example of a local brewery. A friendly, welcoming atmosphere accompanied by a well designed interior. The stand out aspects would have to be of course the BEER and the service. I met the owner on multiple occasions, and each time he was an absolute delight. Each beer has a unique flavor profile & is always well balanced. An absolute stand out in the local Orlando brew scene. 10/10 highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious drinks & fantastic people!!! read more

I visited twelve talons on a Thursday for a first date. Immediately, I saw that their menu focuses on stouts and was thrilled. I find it hard to find places with great stouts down here probably because it's so hot. While there, I tried 2 stouts and a honey beer, and they were all absolutely delicious. The team there was very nice and I enjoyed talking with them. They're attended to us very well. I'm very excited to go back and to see what they bring to the Orlando beer scene! read more

Owner is one of the most genuine hard working people you'll ever meet. Celebrating their 1-year anniversary in September (28th) so I'll be back for sure. Beer is tasty, uses local produce and local businesses. Can never go wrong there. read more

Warm and friendly spot not to far from the house. Probably 7 or 8 drafts on tap along with 3 draft (wine based) cocktails. Also a decent selection of red and white wines. The staff is great and very friendly and the interior is very nice and welcoming. Now for the beer. I started with the Blond ale from Rockpit brewing. Then moved to a Mexican imperial stout which was not what I expected with the chocolate notes but still tasted great. Also had the "Livin the lime life". Really good tart sour No, it's not a huge on-site brewer but what they produce is Definitely worth the stop. BTW. Try the wine based margarita!! Killer! Really nice folks here. read more

I stumbled onto Twelve Talons while taking a new route home, and I am glad I did! We got there just after 4pm, on a Friday, and it was not busy. The beers were great. The bartenders were super helpful and accommodating as we narrowed our choices. Turns out the bartender is also a co-owner. I appreciated his brew knowledge, and it has inspired me to try a couple of his favorites on my next visit. This place is just over a year old, and still has that fresh, new-build smell. The place is super clean and well-maintained. I look forward to going back. This place is good, and I think it is largely a hidden gem. Give it a try....like us, you'll be glad you did. read more
