The Local Brew Company

About

Aaron and Joelle Schmalzle opened this nano craft brewery in Ruskin after building a Central Florida production operation that supplied all three major Orlando theme parks and hundreds of locations across the state. Small-batch beer brewed on-site shares the bar with house wine, handcrafted hard seltzer, and a robotic barista pulling espresso. The kitchen offers warm pretzels, Cuban egg rolls, and shareable bites. Run clubs, trivia, bingo, and board games anchor the community calendar. Open Sunday through Wednesday 9am to 4pm, Thursday through Saturday 9am to 8pm.
