Orange Blossom Brewing plans brewpub

Orange Blossom Brewing Company, the recently rebranded home of Orange Blossom Pilsner, is looking into opening a brewpub on Virginia Drive in Orlando.

According to the Bungalower, a website covering the bungalow neighborhoods of Orlando, the brewery plans to open a small facility and tasting room at 1010 Virginia Drive in Orlando by summer 2014.

“The owners tell Bungalower they will have a small brewery on site brewing ‘some fun small batch beers.'”

Orange Blossom Brewing made headlines a few months ago when they, along with Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing, signed on to work with Lakeland’s The Brew Hub to brew large amounts of their beer for distribution.
