History of Orlando Brewing
Orlando Brewing first opened its doors on Gore Street just after the turn of the century, and in October of 2004, John Cheek gained ownership of the company. Ed Canty, founder of the Florida Brewer’s Guild and professional brewer, joined John to restart the company. With the aid of Gene Lohri Orlando Brewing was soon on its feet. However, less than three months later the team was informed their location was to be turned over to the Florida Department of Transportation under an eminent domain provision.
The year it took to build out the new location gave them time to re-think the direction of their brewery. The partners decided to brew what they wanted to drink, and they wanted to drink the best. So they committed to making only the highest quality ales and lagers. But what did “highest quality” mean? It meant the company would brew their beer in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516 (the Reinheitsgebot), and that they would only use organic ingredients.
