Home Brew

A welcome addition to Orlando’s Hourglass District, Ocean Sun Brewing provides a casual spot where friends can kick back and relax.

ONE PART TAPROOM, another part brewery, Ocean Sun Brewing checks off both boxes for a cool neighborhood hangout. Found in the Winn Dixie plaza on Curry Ford Road in the newly christened Hourglass District, the brewery opened in March of 2016 to the delight of local craft beer enthusiasts.

With 12 house-brewed beers on tap, Ocean Sun has a cold one for everyone. Lagers, pilsners, red ales and porters rotate, while four core beers remain constant: the Bumby Blonde, the Blue Bags IPA, the Conch Cruiser Hefeweizen and the Buchi. The last of the four, an espresso milk stout, is inspired by the Cuban espresso of Key West, where owner Bob DeWeese grew up.
