Hourglass Brewery of Longwood has been announcing changes and new beers for some time now.  Recently, the Orlando-area brewery posted some news and updates regarding their future in Longwood and upcoming beers.

Hourglass is growing! We are currently undergoing another phase of expansion and have recently landed and installed a new canning line. Initial brands in cans will be our Frankie Rock Bavarian Style Hefeweizen and Brown Beer, Brown Beer, What Do You See? English Style Brown Ale. Our Launch format will be 16 oz – 4 packs coming later this month!

We have also have our 8th bottle release available at the taproom and in distrobution. Stormgazer, a dark English style Barleywine aged in Rum barrels with lime and ginger is the first of three beers in a cocktail inspired series. 750 mL bottles are on sale now for $18.00

Additionally, our new 20 bbl Egg Oak Foeder has arrived in further development of our Wild and Sour beer program. This will be our primary home for fermentation of our house saison and other interesting variant wild ales. Be on the lookout for our first barrel fermented sour releases in the fall as well.

Finally, since a lot has been growing and changing, we are reorganizing brands under the umbrella of Hourglass Brewing. The Hourglass Brewery will remain at our original location, and future wild and sour releases will be released under the identity of “Sourglass Brewing”. We feel this will help delineate releases and make customers more aware of our product differences, and are relaunching our new branding and logo set with our recent release of Stormgazer – a dark English Barleywine aged in rum barrels with charred ginger and lime.

Hourglass Brewery recently invested in an oak egg fermenter.

Hourglass Brewery is located at 480 South Ronald Reagan Parkway in Longwood. For more information, see their Facebook page.
