About Hourglass Brewing and Our Journey to World Class Beer Making:
Founded in 2012 in a small outbuilding behind a massage parlor with seating for 12 - to our now 240 seat taproom, Hourglass Brewing is the embodiment of humble beginnings.The dream of two friends that began brewing on their back porch, funded by the sales of toy collections, musical equipment, and some family help; we take pride in our small business approach, familial aspirations, and our slightly tongue in cheek status as the “Oldest brewery in Longwood, FL”.
We aim to make world class beer, utilizing the best of local and exotic ingredients from across the globe, with an emphasis on turning outlandish ideas into nuanced, drinkable brews. Each and every aspect of each and every beer is hand selected from trusted suppliers, both locally and internationally. We are obsessed with finding the perfect ingredient every time – from locally grown tropical fruits, to Indian and South American herbs, hops from Africa and Japan, or malt from Chile and Scotland – ensuring you always get the best glass of beer possible.
Visit our Taproom:
Our spacious 240 seat taproom is uniquely decorated with nostalgic remembrances, geek culture, and the work of local artists. Stacked with table top and console games for free play, we also host frequent live music and comedy nights. Come grab a pint and relax on our dog friendly patio or take a peek behind the glass walled brew house to observe the daily brew process. One visit and you’ll see the Hourglass taproom is as distinct as the beers that are poured here.
