Brewlando named Central Florida's Favorite Brewery for second consecutive year in Orlando Sentinel's 2026 Central Florida Favorites Awards

Brewlando has once again been voted Gold Winner for Best Brewery in the 2026 Orlando Sentinel Central Florida Favorites Awards, marking the second consecutive year the locally owned craft brewery has earned the top honor from Central Florida residents.

In addition to its Gold recognition for Best Brewery, Brewlando also received Bronze honors for Best Bar, while The Winery & Tasting Room by Brewlando at ICON Park earned Bronze for Best Date Night Spot and Silver for Best Wine Selection, further showcasing the company's diverse beverage offerings and guest experiences.

The annual Central Florida Favorites Awards recognize the region's most-loved businesses as voted on by the local community, celebrating the restaurants, attractions and businesses that continue to make Central Florida a vibrant place to live, work and visit. 



"Winning Best Brewery for the second consecutive year is incredibly meaningful because it comes directly from our community," said Shara Pathak, founder and owner of Brewlando. "To also be recognized for Best Bar, and to see The Winery & Tasting Room honored as a favorite date night destination and one of the area's best places for wine, is a true testament to our amazing team. We are grateful to everyone who voted for us and for the continued support from our guests throughout Central Florida."

Since opening its first location, Brewlando has continued to grow throughout Central Florida while remaining committed to brewing exceptional craft beer and creating welcoming gathering spaces. Today, guests can enjoy award-winning beers, chef-inspired food, live entertainment, trivia nights, special events and community programming across Brewlando's locations. 



The recognition for The Winery & Tasting Room by Brewlando at ICON Park further highlights the company's expanding beverage portfolio. Featuring an extensive wine selection alongside Brewlando's signature craft beers, the venue has quickly become a favorite destination for date nights, celebrations and evenings out on International Drive. The concept will soon expand to Orlando International Airport, where Brewlando will bring a similar elevated craft beer and wine experience to travelers.
