USA, FL: The Broken Strings and Black Cauldron joint brewery opens in Orlando

The Broken Strings and Black Cauldron joint brewery in Orlando’s Parramore District opened on June 4 to cater to fans in the growing soccer-centric stretch of Church Street, Orlando Sentinel reported.

Co-owner Charles Frizzell said the brewery isn't running at full capacity yet. The team is still installing the actual brewery equipment, a three-barrel brewhouse system that will allow them to make about six kegs at a time.

"We're going to start brewing some smaller batches and then we'll upgrade in a year or so if we need to," Frizzell said.

Even if the brewery isn't operating yet, the taproom is serving some in-house brews.

Frizzell said they have started with a Ruckus Red Pale Ale, a tribute to Orlando City's supporter group the Ruckus, as well as a Liquid Vinyl IPA, a mix between an IPA and a stout. Those beers were made at another location by Broken Strings and Black Cauldron Brewers, Frizzell said.

Broken Strings and Black Cauldron started as a partnership of two different breweries that were trying to get clearance to open near downtown. The brewers eventually joined and found the spot in the Parramore district.

Broken Strings and Black Cauldron plan to be open Thursday through Sunday. It should also be open the day of other Orlando City Soccer Club games as well, Frizzell said.
