Half Barrel Beer Project – Orlando, FL

Our afternoon is winding down, so we stopped here for a bite to eat before heading back to the campground to walk and feed the dogs. This brewery is a great example of the evolution of tap rooms: no longer are the days of brewery operations with a tasting room inside to allow patrons to drink beer fresh from the vats. This tap room is located in a mixed-use residential complex that allows convenient access to the people living in the high-rises above. Beer is brewed offsite, and food is prepared in a restaurant next door. We kept it light with a Front Porch pils and a Let The Alpine Play IPA drawn from some plain black, low budget tap handles producing some headless beers.
