“Winery and brewery and food. Winery designed and looks like live music sometimes. Possibly best Cuban sandwich I ever had. Beer was decent enough and good variety of styles. Make cider as well with imported apples and local fruits. May stop back for sandwich again.“

“We came here on 30.12.2018. A huge farmhouse place combining a brewpub, wine tasting and a restaurant. Large and beautiful outside seating area close to a small lake. Around 10 beers available. We tasted the Alt beer (Appel Strudel) and the Chipotle Blueberry Stout. Both were ok.“

“We all know that Tampa is the beer capital of Florida, but there are plenty of breweries in the outskirts of the metro area. Some are worth the drive, such as Two Henrys Brewing Company of Plant City. This venue originally started as the Keel & Curley Winery, which was expanded into a brewery back in 2014. They also make a variety of ciders and have a newly-opened kitchen serving "upscale pub style food." Plus, it also serves as an outdoor event space. Man, this place has got it all, eh?

I arranged a meetup here for the Lakeland Craft Beer Enthusiasts, as several other members of the club said they had been before and had a good time. It sounded like an ideal place for our group to get together and try some brews, and sure enough it was.

My first impression of the venue is that it’s quite large. In fact, the outdoor seating is much larger than the indoor tasting room. There was a band playing at the time, but oddly enough, nobody was sitting outside. I wonder if that’s the Catch-22 of trying dine "al fresco" in Florida - it’s so hot and humid that despite the plentiful sunshine, people would actually prefer to sit inside with the air conditioning.

Anyway, the tasting room is quite large, though very dark. There are actually three separate bars: one for beer; one for cider and one for wine. The beer and cider bars are quite large with plenty of seating and there are many hightop tables in the middle of the room. I noticed there were several servers and staff about, so no matter where you choose to sit you’ll be attended to pretty quickly.

Naturally, I ordered a sampler flight of five 4oz pours ($10). Here’s the rundown:

Belleview Biltmore Blueberry Vanilla Wheat (5.3% ABV): Very creamy with a delectable combination of blueberry and vanilla. It’s so smooth it’s like it’s on nitro.

Ginger’s Peach Farmhouse Ale (4.9% ABV): Peach seemed wholly authentic, not faux or overly sweet. It worked well as a bonus flavor.

Steam Engine Belgian Blonde (6.7% ABV): Something seemed off about this one. It didn’t have the usual Belgian esters; at least not to the extent that is normal for the style. Perhaps the yeast was stressed or fermented at the wrong temp, but this seemed a little dirty to me.

Belgian Tripel (9.1% ABV): Much like the previous brew, there was something off about this one as well. It had more flavor than the blonde, and I found the esters to be much more pronounced.

Cowcatcher Chocolate Milk Stout (4.9% ABV): This is definitely what I would consider a "to spec" milk stout: roasty, sweet; well-balanced; smooth and sessionable. I was told by the lovely bartender Staci that cocoa nibs are added to it which gives it a slightly spicy/dark chocolate flavor.

Roasted Jalapeno Blueberry Porter (6.5% ABV): The blueberry definitely is the dominate flavor; quite sweet but nowhere near cloying. Some light roasted malt with the jalapeno spice lurking in the background. The pepper comes out more as the beer warms and after repeated sips, but it never burns or becomes annoying.

If Two Henrys/Keel & Curley winery was a little closer to me I would definitely be a regular here. I recommend taking a road trip here for anyone on the Tampa-to-Orlando I-4 corridor.“

“Stopped by here in mid-November ’15 on a Wednesday evening while in the area for business. Farmhouse kind of set up; reminds me of a roadside fruit stand sort of. Have about seven or so of their beers and ciders on tap. They have a 5 glass flight so you can pretty much sample everything in one visit, Beers were decent, nothing to climb to the mountaintop about. Friendly barkeep and locals hanging out, conversations came easily. Also share space with a fruit winery that I guess has been established in this location for a while. A bit out of the way, but if you are on your way between Tampa and Orlando and need a break from the parking lot that is I-4; stop on by. They have growlers and crowlers as well.“

“Stopped here before taking the kids to Dinoland - it is right up the road. 7 beers on tap with a, you pick 5 sampler for $7.50. If they sold individual samplers, I’d have them all, but with 2 out, not much of a choice there. Nothing special, but glad I stopped by and would not have seeked it out if not for the Dinos ...“

“Well off the interstate between Tampa and Orlando. WIFI avaiable. Beautiful place. nice beer selection. Two bars one more towards wine and cider than beer. Huge table area out by the lake. More towards the wine than beer still a nice selection of beers and ciders. BBQ smoker guy out front offering food. I didn’t try it I wish I had. Must stop if you are in the area. Flights of 5 your choice $7.50, I think they were 5oz pours. I like this place a lot. Well worth the stop.“

“Out in the middle of cow pastures and farm land. The name honors the two most important Henry’s to Florida’s history. The ambiance could do with a bit more of this historical perspective. There’s one or two pics but not enough. The table’s are made out of the flimsiest pieces and will crumble if any weight is put on them. The service was two late teen/early twenties boys that didn’t seem thrilled to be working a Sunday lunch shift. Selection was 7 beers and what seemed like more wines than you really need. Had a flight and it was reasonably priced. Overall the place could use some sturdier furniture and more historical themed items.“

“way out past Dinosaur World, back in citrus farm country, lies a florida winery with a recently added brewery. most of the space in the tasting room is dedicated to the wine, but the brew side is hopping all the same. neat place!“
