What orange county brewers does

Orange County Brewers is a privately-held craft brewery founded in 2017 and headquartered at 1117 International Pkwy, Suite 1701, Lake Mary, Florida. It operates a single physical taproom that functions as Central Florida's self-described premier craft beer destination, producing and serving a portfolio of hand-crafted year-round and seasonal beers (19 on tap) alongside craft cocktails (10) including martinis, margaritas, mojitos, and sangrias. The company generates revenue primarily through on-premise beverage sales, supplemented by food service operated via a partnership with Tin & Taco (dine-in, pick-up, delivery through ToastTab), in-store branded merchandise, and group event hosting for company outings and private parties, with repeat visits driven by the Brew Crew loyalty program and recurring weekly events such as Happy Hour (3pm-6pm) and Taco Tuesday (5pm-close).

The underlying business model is direct-to-consumer retail hospitality with no disclosed wholesale or distribution revenue. Pricing is unit-based with promotional Happy Hour specials ($4 drafts, $5 cocktails) and event-driven packages, and customer acquisition is driven by a combination of social media, email/loyalty marketing, local events, and the co-tenancy with food partners Tin & Taco and Sodough Square. The company's partners additionally established Brew Theory LLC in 2018, Orlando's first contract brewing facility, which provides contract brewing, packaging, distribution, and a Community Brewhouse, extending OCB's economic footprint into B2B brewing services.

Geographic exposure is concentrated in the Southeast United States, with a planned (announced 2018, targeted 2021) expansion to Orlando International Airport Terminal C that has not been confirmed as operational in the available data. The company is private, has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no disclosed headcount, and no public financial reporting; competitive positioning rests on local brand recognition, a differentiated bold-flavor beer portfolio, and integrated food and event offerings rather than on proprietary technology or regulatory assets.
