Sideward Brewing Co.

The Write-Up

The full story

Sideward Brewing is a laid-back, unpretentious taproom on Bumby Avenue where the beer is brewed clean and the kitchen is, in guests' words, severely underrated. The chicken Caesar wrap draws its own fan club alongside a tempeh Reuben and pretzel with beer cheese, washed down with pours like the Space Wizard NEIPA and Moon Boots IPA. With punk on the speakers and a dog-friendly patio, regulars call it their favorite brewery in Orlando.
