Hourglass Brewing

The Write-Up

The full story

Hourglass Brewing pours inside a former church on Curry Ford, where the Hourglass District taproom keeps a rotating cast of house beers flowing. Altamonte Vampire sour, Apricaustic, I-4 Eyesore, and District Kolsch sit beside beer flights, rotating food trucks, and trivia nights, with video game touches and an NES corner for good measure. Guests put its beer among the best in Central Florida, and the room stays roomy, clean, and easygoing.
