Hourglass Brewing, located in Longwood, Florida, opened its doors in 2012, quickly becoming a fixture in the local craft beer scene. Originally a small, 1,000 square-foot nano-brewery, it moved to its significantly larger, 240-seat flagship location in October 2014, allowing for expanded brewing operations and a broader community reach. Co-founded by Brett Mason and Sky Conley, the brewery gained recognition for its commitment to all-natural ingredients and a diverse selection of unique beers. Hourglass Brewing is not only a destination for craft beer enthusiasts but also serves as a vibrant community hub, frequently hosting art shows, local bands, and various events.
The Longwood taproom offers a welcoming atmosphere, adorned with “nerd nostalgia” and pop culture memorabilia, including references to films like Star Wars and Spaceballs. Beyond its extensive beer selection, which often features over 40 taps, the venue provides a range of entertainment options such as video games, classic arcade cabinets, pinball machines, and board games. It regularly hosts weekly trivia and BINGO nights, fostering a “homey” environment where patrons can relax and socialize, solidifying its role as a beloved recreational spot for both locals and visitors in Central Florida.
