Eden Abbey Brewing Community

Great brewery! Food is fantastic! The beer and mocktails are great. The serveice not so much. We sat AT the bar on Saturday around noon. Not crowded. But the bartender got our 1 st drinks and food order. And then never asked us if we wanted anymore. So, I’m sorry I didn’t tip but 10%. I really felt bad but dangit acknowledge us!!! So we left. Disappointed. We really like the guy who is the bartender from the very beginning but he wasn’t there that day. He is really good. So I guess it depends on who’s behind the bar!

Think Cheers + Guy Fieri, infused with the most welcoming vibe. This is our yearly must-go stop when we visit Florida! The food is phenomenal, the brews are unique, smooth, and oh-so-palatable, and the house staff are authentically invested in your experience being a positive one. You can witness the collaborative effort they all adopt to ensure your experience lacks nothing. If you are in the Mount Dora area, it is a MUST! Highly recommend the “chicken nuggets” and Kettle chips for appetizers.

We stopped into Eden Abbey Brewing on a Sunday evening after the Mount Dora Craft Show. We sat inside the taproom, but there’s also a beautiful outdoor area that’s perfect for relaxing with a pint. I sampled a few beers, and my favorite was Das Brot, German-style Dunkle brown lager with a toasty, malty flavor that finishes clean, dry, and crisp. We ordered the kettle chips to start, which came out piping hot, perfectly crunchy, and sprinkled with a flavorful proprietary seasoning blend. They paired perfectly with the beer. For dinner, we split a Hog Heaven Burger with tater tots and a Fiery Clucka sandwich. The tater tots were some of the best we’ve ever had: crisp, golden, and not greasy. The Hog Heaven was huge: juicy beef topped with a mound of kalua-style pulled pork, bacon, cheese,

Some places feed you. Some places pour you a drink. And then there are places that hold you. Eden Abbey is one of those rare spaces where craft meets care, where intention lives in every detail, and where community is not a slogan—but a daily practice of love. The beer crafted by Brewmaster, Ben Passmore, is nothing short of extraordinary—thoughtful, balanced, and brewed with both mastery and soul. And alongside his wife, Eve, the heart of this place beats even stronger. Together, they have created something that goes far beyond a brewery or restaurant. They have built a home. The food is elevated and unexpected—beautifully prepared, deeply satisfying, and far beyond what one anticipates from a brewery. The pretzel bites, buttermilk chicken bites, and wings are all exceptional—perfectly

My partner and I stopped in for a quick visit in the afternoon. He had the chicken al pastor empanadas and contemplation. I had the cheese & greens empanadas and Vlad the great. All of it was delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly! I personally really appreciate when I can tell the vegetarian options actually have thought put into them instead of just being a slapdash afterthought.
