Reviews
A room first
Shop notes. Orlando drinks in rooms. Ivanhoe Park names a Golden Pilsner and an American IPA on its homepage. Ten10 lists Subtropic Saint as a Kolsch and First Flight as an IPA. Deviant Wolfe publishes Iron Bend as a light American lager. Those are tap-list words from the hosts, then draft hardware if you pour at home. Color does not tell you lager versus ale. BJCP: ale yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, typically 55 to 75 F. Lager yeast is Saccharomyces pastorianus, typically 46 to 56 F. A garage tower does not replace a Tuesday board.
Rooms
A tasting room has a board, a host, and a last-call. Central Florida afternoons are hot. Alcohol by volume is still the number on the board. Iron Bend at 4.5 percent and First Flight at 5.5 percent are host numbers. Start there on a Tuesday. Ivanhoe sits on Ivanhoe Village. Ten10 sits on the Mills 50 side of that same corridor. Deviant Wolfe is a downtown room. Hours move. Read the host page the day you go. Rooms sit on Breweries.
Handle, if you already have a tower
Draft hardware is the last door. A handle does not make a room. If the tower is already in the garage, a handle search is the honest next click. If you do not have a tower, skip this row. Buy a pour in a room instead.
A collectible handle if the tower already exists. Get this.
Kegerator, last
A kegerator is a fridge with a tower. Both a room and a kegerator can pour a pilsner. Only one of them is how this city drinks on a Tuesday. A kegerator kit is the last door, not the first. A home kit still needs cleaning, gas, and a cold box that actually holds 38 F. That is a different job from a tasting-room board.
