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.

A fall inspired beer with yams. It's good. Trust me.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Great atmosphere, kitschy mid mod building with a fresh modern feel! The brewers are delightful, knowledgeable and easy to talk to! They brew FUN UNIQUE beer!! Shorts in December an imperial amber ale fantastic easy drinking. Beauregard Berry sour with mushrooms, tastes like maple blueberry pancakes with an umami anchor. The senator is toasty and smooth and the Bonnie lass is a great malty red!! We'll be back!!!

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!

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!

I Hope You're Hoppy With Yourself hazy IPA

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.

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!

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!

Kalvin K.

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. Their menu changes often so make sure you keep your eye out. The vibe here is really nice and modern. They've partnered with some food trucks for eats. I enjoyed the sour selection they had! Definitely will come back.

Beer!

Absolutely fantastic beer, incredibly friendly beertenders, and an awesome vibe! We had some time…read moreto kill before checking into our hotel in Orlando, so we figured we'd hunt down a brewery. Apple Maps was zero help -- it kept suggesting every bar and grill in existence instead of actual breweries. Thankfully, our Minnesota HopPassport saved the day. We pulled up nearby breweries and landed on Rockpit... and wow, we're so glad we did. We were greeted the second we walked in, which instantly set the tone. For our first round, my husband grabbed the Stupider IPA and I ordered the Paloma Possible cocktail. We fully planned on having one drink and heading out -- but they were so refreshing on a hot Florida day that we couldn't resist staying for another. Round two: he went with the 1840 Pre-prohibition lager, and I tried the Motorboatin' Florida agave lager. Both were seriously delicious. The whole place had such a great ambiance and vibe, reminding us of the breweries we love back home in Minnesota. If we're ever in the area again, Rockpit will absolutely be on our list. Cheers!

The selection of beers that is currently on tap isn't our go to. I had the yardwork (light lager) and my husband did the mustache ride (red ale). Good overall experiences They had live music that was going to be starting up and we left right as they were starting as it was very loud.

This was a very popular spot on a Saturday afternoon. We walked into a packed dining/bar area and…read morenoticed a sign stating that the patio would be closed off for a private event for Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month. We later saw them setting up tents and a bounce house. It looked really fun. We found ourselves a spot near the perimeter of the room and began reviewing the menu. There are a lot of varied options available to please any palate. We are at a brewing company, but I don't really like beer, so I opted for the Pirate's Punch cocktail. It was fruity and very reminiscent of a classic rum punch. Hubby likes light beer, so he ordered the 16oz Celebration Light Lager at the suggestion of our server, Missy. He enjoyed it very much. The vibe was very casual, social and fun. They have table and board games available for you to play with friends and I'm pretty sure that had the patio been open, they had some outdoor games available as well. There was music playing and folks talking and celebrating birthdays, so it was a little loud, but not annoyingly so. It was very upbeat and sunny to match the beautiful day. I was torn between The Big Salad, which my body was so desperately craving, and the Queens Calzone, my heart's desire! So you know I had to order both, and I topped the salad with grilled salmon! What?! We were on vacation! I'm not sure if the salad was big, or if the plate was just small, but I ate half of it there and took the other half home. The salmon was cooked nicely and the salad and dressing was refreshing. The calzone was crisp on the outside, but the cheese wasn't quite melted on the inside. I took a couple of "taster bites" but opted to take the rest home to be reheated and properly melted. I shared some with my husband as well and he observed that the bites just weren't balanced. I agreed. One bite was a stack of chopped ham and nothing else. Another would be completely different. I wish the filling would've been mixed and spread throughout so that you could get some of everything in each bite. I was most impressed by what my husband ordered. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but he loves my cooking so much that restaurant fare does not usually float his boat. He ordered the Korean Noodle Bowl with Shrimp and he absolutely loved it! I noticed at least two other people at surrounding tables having that dish as well, so it must be popular. He loved the level of heat and flavor. He wanted to "dog it down" but saved a small portion for me to try later, just as research and development for me to reverse engineer it and create for him at home! I love the challenge and the inspiration. Any meal that can impress him gets two thumbs up from me! He felt that it needed a little something on the side, so he also ordered some crostini for dipping. They sell beer steins, stickers, buttons, hats, t-shirts, etc. and we saw some t-shirts that we liked (Oktoberfest themed), so we grabbed those as well. They ran us about $30 each, but it will help us commemorate our time in the area. Overall, we enjoyed some good food in a fun atmosphere and would definitely return if ever in the area again.

Celebration Brewing Company has great craft beer, decent food and fantastic service. The beer…read moregets you in the door and their great customer service keeps you coming back. You can tell that the servers here take pride in what they do and it consistently shows. It is the only brewery within about 20-30 minutes. It is right off of I-4, has plenty of parking and if you have an EV, there are charging stations in their parking lot. It has been a while since I reviewed this brewery and I can honestly say Celebration Brewing is one of my favorites. Heck, it is the only brewery anywhere near Disney. Celebration Brewing Company is no different from anything in life, eventually it has to change. Some changes have made me happy, while others have left me both sad, disappointed and confused. Mostly sad though. Let's start with all the great things they have going on here. First, this is like a restaurant which has great craft beer, specialty cocktails, wine and spirits. I wouldnt say a full bar, but they can accomplish most mixed drinks and have a few specialty cocktails of their own. There is both inside and outside seating and plenty of it, as well as seating at the bar. As far as decor, the BEER sign is iconic. There are so many photos opportunities here. And, despite what I am about to say, Celebration Brewing Co is a solid 4 stars consistently. Now I will talk about some of my personal concerns about the brewery. This is my whine time disclaimer. To start, the food has been hit or miss, but mostly a hit. Their burgers and wings are consistently good. They do change their menu as places do from time to time and the things I really loved about the last menu were recently swapped for less tasty versions. To be exact, the pasta and pizza are not as good. And there is one pizza they had called JAMMIN (absolutely amazing) which they changed to FiG Etabouitit. The latter has a similar combination of ingredients, but is lacking and pales in comparison to the original. The new version is just overly sweet, while JAMMIN was savory, sweet and well balanced. You could actually taste the fig jam before, while the new version legit just tastes like honey. They told me it had fig jam on it, but unless the fig jam they are using now is mostly honey, I am not buying it. The new version is a fail. Lastly, they brew a lot of decent beer here which tastes like what it should be. The Belgians are not as good as I remember, but everything else from lagers to stouts to IPAs, decent representation. Every once in a while though, they come up with some bangers which I absolutely fall in love with (Like GINGY SNAPS), but when I return they have moved onto some other innovative beer. Leaving me feeling like that kid whose parents got divorced and it's all my fault (because I didnt support that beer as consistently as I should). So that is my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

What…read moreis more funny is that I really thought I had already reviewed it, but in my defense I have a history of writing reviews and forgetting to post them. So buckle in, here it goes! Tactical is a high end brewery with home brew vibes. The beers here have their own unique character and if you are not a casual beer drinker you will really appreciate it. It is located in the ritzy area of Orlando where parking is challenging and rides have is encouraged. Tactical is armed forces and first responders friendly. Tactical has cratf beer, wine and craft cocktails as a rotating food schedule. On thus Sunday just they had a Latin inspired menu. Tactical has both inside and outside seating, a wrap around bar, high seats and tables. I remember it being a little darker. Lighting is always dims and sets the tone for a great drinking experience. Also on my visit was a live guitarist Mike Lynch and he was very talented. Just love the vibe here at Tactical Brewing. The BEER: Noise in the Forest Maibock 6% ABV... really liked this one, easy drinking with a fermented finish Florida Slay Ride Golden Ale 7% ABV... slightly sweet, if you know Golden Monkey, this is a smoother version with a lot more complexity There are some cool sours including imperial, and a pretty diverse selection about 20 taps.

From the moment we arrived, we really enjoyed the location and the overall environment. It was a great place to relax, have some good beer, and enjoy ourselves. The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and genuinely seemed to want everyone to have a great time while they were there. They had a great variety of beers, with plenty of different styles to choose from, especially sours. Now, I will say that their sours were definitely on the sweeter side. I really enjoyed them, but if you're expecting a traditional, tart sour, these probably aren't quite that. That being said, the flavors were absolutely out of this world! They were unique, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. One of my favorite things about the venue was seeing all of the patches from military service members, along with patches representing law enforcement. I thought that was such a cool and meaningful touch and really added to the character of the place. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Great atmosphere, welcoming staff, and some really good beer. We actually ended up taking some beer home with us--and honestly, that says a lot! I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area, especially if you enjoy supporting veteran-owned businesses and trying something a little different.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar
