I visited the craft beer establishment recently and unfortunately had a negative experience with the manager, Sean. My encounter with Sean left me deeply concerned about his management style and professionalism.Firstly, Sean's past association with a notorious drug bar in the area raises serious doubts about his suitability for managing a reputable establishment. During my last visit, I witnessed Sean actively enabling disruptive behavior from a troubled married couple, including a regular patron known for involvement in selling illicit substance activities. Despite my attempts to de-escalate the situation and remove myself from the conflict, Sean failed to intervene and instead exacerbated the situation, seemingly to my detriment and let the guy go outside and continue to threaten me with violence for several minutes. I was then attacked by the wife when I stood my ground to her husband's threats from a distance, he came up to me to try to start a physical fight. The management did nothing to stop them, and it had to be settled by the police.Furthermore, my interactions with Sean at his past establishment of work revealed a troubling pattern of neglect towards customer safety. I have reason to believe that Sean turned a blind eye to instances of drinks being tampered with, with myself being directly affected, which is unacceptable for any establishment, especially one serving alcohol.Overall, I urge the management of the craft beer establishment to reconsider Sean's suitability for a managerial position. His past affiliations and questionable conduct raise serious concerns about the safety and integrity of the establishment. As a patron, I would not feel comfortable returning to an establishment where such behavior is tolerated or condoned.In conclusion, I advise potential patrons to exercise caution when visiting this establishment and to be aware of the potential risks associated with the management's oversight.

The beer is good, but do yourself a favor and drive to the District location in Orlando. The staff is much friendlier and actually know something about beer. The staff at the Longwood location are too busy standing around with their hands on their hips to be friendly.

Very cool place, with nerdy decor. Amazing selection of craft beers. You can bring food from the restaurants next door. Place was very busy and loud because it was Bingo night. Friendly staff.

I've been to many breweries over the years. Between Asheville NC, Utah, Texas, NY, Florida, and other places I've visited and drank beers that I've enjoyed. However, these guys are a cut above. By far my favorite brewer.

This is my favorite brewery by far. The beer is excellent and something new is always come out. My favorites are their sours. The staff are the best and great at remembering people. We've made friends with several of their bartenders.The taproom is full of memorabilia and fun murals on the walls. There's a long line of pinball machines and a mystery vending machine. They also have a mini game console at the bar and a variety of board games and comics to borrow while you visit. They don't sell food, but you are welcome to bring in outside food.Hourglass holds really fun events and lets you use their taproom for your own personal event. Right now they frequently have food vendors rotate throughout the months. They also do bingo nights, run club, and trivia nights.There's so many places to sit both inside and outside along the building. Parking is usually always available all around the building but can get full during big sport events on tv or events happening in the bar. If a major event is going to go on, they give advance notice on best places for extra parking nearby.

I had had then on my list to try but since I don't come to the area often, I have missed them all this time!The brewery is very spacious and nice. The have games, inside and outside seating and a couple of sizes for the beer they have.The staff is nice, attentive and happy to answer questions or make any recommendations. We went with 2 and sure were good!We got the I-4 Eyesore (lager with citrus), Hiram's Secret Sauce (strawberry/lemon) and the Life in Plastic (berry blend w/vanilla). We enjoyed all of them but the favorite was Hiram's. We need to come back and try their sour, which I forgot to ask details about it.The do have cider but it is not made in house (since it is done in a different process and license) but still offer alternatives.We will definitely come back and if you get hungry, there are 2 restaurants next door.

I've visited Hourglass many times over the years to stop in for a beer or two and have always been impressed by the drinks and service. A few weeks ago I noticed the parking lot was completely packed. Turns out it was trivia night! We had so much fun and I've never experienced "emoji trivia" which is a blast. I've been back for trivia, bingo and have started running with there run club! Definitely an amazing local place, that's connected to Papa Bees, so where could you go wrong?!!!!
