Wop's Hops Brewing Co

Definitely loved the vibe in this place. The little bar has an energy all its own and was packed with locals when I visited. They have a very interesting beer list, with a few that jump out at you like the White Chocolate Amaretto Cream Ale and the Marco Luppolo IPA. Owner was a nice guy and I chatted it up with a few of the locals before leaving. Sanford's first microbrewery is a good one.

Historic conversion to community social spot. Enjoyed eclectic atmosphere and diversity of beer. Everyone friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Can be kid friendly depending timing with food offerings. Food - Pub Fare (burger, fries) opportunities to diversify Beer - Sampled: IPA, Stout, Ales, Lagers Beers were unique in mixtures like lychee blonde ale. Strongest was the Cream Ale for all around. I will say having tried the majority of Orlando's offerings over the years, the base mashes were mellow across beer types. So despite being different categories the flavor profiles were very similar across the spectrum. Overall easy drinking and would go back when in town.

The first and still the best brewery in historic Sanford, FLA. Since 2014, the brew scene here has exploded; there are now five breweries, as well as several excellent taphouses (for you non-beer folks, there is also a very good distillery and an awesome authentic tiki bar, as well as several great bars). Veteran-owned joint with an awesome cold and cavey interior (inside an old fish market) and an awesome beer garden, complete with a few bar games and a seemingly-domesticated velociraptor (he's at least leash-trained). Amazing, and ever-changing, brew selection, each better than the one before (we especially loved the session and the hazy IPA and the guava wheat and the coconut ale and the blue cherry lime razz hard seltzer and the creamy pistachio, the list goes on and on). You should definitely make a day of it and hit all five Sanford breweries, but if you only have time for one, this is it!

We learned about this brewery at St. John’s Hops show a few years ago. Today we finally made it out here. And did not disappoint!! Lots of beer choices and didn’t even know they served food, including for the dogs!! The girls enjoyed the “mutt” meatballs and the bartender provided a big bowl of water. We enjoyed the outside patio - since we had our dogs with us. Plus we got sneak peaks of the air show. We tried a variety of the beers and even brought some home. We will plan another trip and visit soon.

This place was a little bit of a surprise, the restaurant we were going to go to was closed so we saw this across the street. What a cool little funky place. We sat at the bar and ordered a flight, the bartender was very informative and very personable. I actually loved every beer I tried which is unusual for me. Their sweet potato beer is out of this world. We also ordered a couple of appetizers which were amazing. We sat there for a little while and we met the owner as well who was very nice. This is definitely going to be on our list to go again soon. It has a nice atmosphere, great beer, great food and the people that work there are outstanding
