Central Florida business tops Orlando Sentinel competition

ORLANDO, Fla. (July 28, 2025) — The votes are in! Raise a glass to Brewlando® for being named Favorite Brewery in Orlando Sentinel’s 2025 Central Florida Favorites Awards.

The award, which is chosen by readers who can vote daily, recognizes Brewlando as a leader in craft brewing, celebrated for its diverse lineup of beers, energetic and welcoming atmosphere and commitment to creating memorable guest experiences.

“This award means so much because it comes from our community,” said Shara Pathak, founder and owner of Brewlando. “We’re incredibly proud of what we are building and are thankful for the support of our fans every step of the way.”

The honor follows a major expansion across Central Florida. Brewlando has steadily grown its presence with four different locations, each offering a unique experience.
