Orlando’s craft beer enthusiasts have a lot to celebrate this January as eight Orlando Main Street neighborhoods come together to raise a glass for Orlando Beer Week. This year, the event introduces the “Main Street ALE-Liance,” a collaborative effort to spotlight the city’s thriving craft beer community. Running from January 25th to February 2nd, 2025, the event promises discounts, special promotions, exclusive prizes, and an unforgettable celebration of locally brewed beer.
The Participating Main Street Districts
For the first time, Orlando Beer Week extends its reach across eight Orlando Main Street neighborhoods:
- Audubon Park
- City District Orlando
- Curry Ford West
- Ivanhoe Village
- Mills 50
- The Milk District
- SoDo District
- Thornton Park District
The participating locations and specials offered can be found here.
Mills 50 and The Milk District participated in last year’s festivities alone, but 2025 marks a significant expansion as additional districts join the ALE-Liance. Together, these neighborhoods aim to strengthen Orlando’s craft beer scene while supporting local businesses and fostering community spirit.
What to Expect
The festivities kick off with an opening event hosted by À La Cart in the SoDo District on Friday, January 25th. Attendees can enjoy a curated lineup of O-Town beverages on draft, setting the stage for a week of beer-centric fun.
Throughout the week, participating breweries such as Sideward, RockPit, Ivanhoe Park, Redlight Redlight, Ten10, 12 Talons, and Hourglass will host events and offer exclusive specials. Additionally, over 50 local businesses will feature promotional discounts, drink specials, and unique prizes for beer lovers.
Exclusive Beer Collaboration
One of the highlights of this year’s Orlando Beer Week is the release of “City Brewtiful,” a hazy IPA crafted in collaboration with multiple Orlando breweries. This limited-edition brew epitomizes the spirit of the ALE-Liance, blending creativity and community to create something truly special for the event.
Whether you’re a craft beer aficionado or simply curious about Orlando’s vibrant beer scene, there’s something for everyone during Orlando Beer Week. To keep up with the fun, follow their Instagram @orlbeerweek.
