Brewlando continues to expand across Central Florida with a new location in Sanford, and the brand plans to expand its menu of craft brews with an onsite innovation hub.
The Central Florida brewery officially expanded its footprint with the new location in Sanford, which opened on March 15th.
In late 2024, Brewlando acquired the Sanford Brewery Company’s locations in Maitland and Sanford to keep the craft brewery scene alive after the announcement that both locations were to close. With the opening of the Sanford location, both locations have officially reopened under the Brewlando name to welcome back both craft beer lovers and Sanford Brewery Company employees in Maitland and Sanford.
At both locations, Brewlando has saved more than a dozen and created more than a dozen jobs.
“Brewlando has huge plans for 2025. The acquisition of the Sanford Brewing Company, including the retention of its employees, has helped make our growth and expansion possible,” said Shara Pathak, Brewlando’s owner. “No matter which location they visit, guests can expect to enjoy more unique beverages and, of course, an amazing atmosphere.”
Thanks to the equipment onsite, the Sanford location will serve as the innovation hub for Brewlando, helping to drive the brand’s offerings into the future. A large, 15-barrel brewing system will allow Brewlando to produce larger quantities of its staple products, ensuring that the beverages never sit for longer than 30 days, which equates to fresh beers all the time. The location is also home to a smaller, 3-barrel system, so the Brewlando team can test more unique brews in small batches.
Brewlando’s newest offering, “Pearsecco,” will also be brewed in Sanford, and the brand plans to expand their cider offerings.
Brewlando Sanford and Maitland will also serve delicious dishes to pair with guest’s favorite brews. The menu is full of elevated bar favorites like the Pimento Jalapeno Burger and Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese, plus shareable appetizers including Nachos and a Giant Pretzel.
Opened in 2022, Brewlando offers over 20 in-house crafted beers, all with a uniquely local flair. The Winery & Tasting Room by Brewlando at ICON Park in Orlando further extends its reach, featuring an impressive selection of over 60 carefully curated wines, a house-made “Pearsecco,” Brewlando’s craft beer and small bites.
