Brewery Barrel Orlando

When we recently returned to the Orlando to visit haunted attractions in Central Florida it was inevitable that we would spend some evenings in the Old Town entertainment area, a collection of shops, restaurants, bars and attractions in Kissimee, Florida. We were camping next door and would visit friends that owned one of the attractions there. Until recently, patronizing bars in Old Town meant your average well drinks, frozen drinks, or for the beer drinker, a bud light. To my delight the Brewery Barrel recently opened to serve craft beer lovers.

They offered a decent number of Florida and national craft beers on draft. When we visited in October they included a few pumpkin beers and Oktoberfest offerings. The bottles are were things got interesting. There were over a 100 bottles with several that I never heard of. The staff was able to suggest a good Florida craft beer but it was the international beer selection. It featured beers from Italy, Germany, Turkey and France. The Brewery Barrel  offered something called an "Epcot Bucket". You get to choose from two different buckets that feature an assortment of beers from around the world. The offered a few bar blends as well. The Chocolate Covered Strawberry was a tasty blend of Young's Chocolate Stout and a strawberry lime cider. The staff here was fun and friendly and I liked the relaxed atmosphere. The night we visited the bar had a Walking Dead viewing party. I was disappointed that they did not serve food. A menu is coming soon but right now you can have food delivered from some of the Old Town Restaraunts. I recommend this spot next time you are visiting the Orlando attractions.
