About
Sideward Brewing Co. consists of three Co-Founders who have been a part of the Orlando craft beer scene for quite some time. Garrett, Mandy, and Austin all grew up here and are extremely excited about leveraging their experiences to help Orlando with its transition into a craft beer destination.
The Team
Garrett Ward, Head Brewer, and Co-Founder
Garrett is best known for his award-winning beers and commitment to quality as the Head Brewer for both Cask & Larder and Red Cypress Brewery. He has spent the better part of the last decade pushing style boundaries, and bringing attention to the Orlando beer scene.
Mandy Protheroe, General Manager, and Co-Founder
Mandy spent several years as manager of the world-renowned craft beer bar, Redlight Redlight, providing extensive beer knowledge, customer service and libations to Orlando and its visitors. She recently spent a few years exploring another facet of the craft beer world as the Coppertail Brewing Co. brewery representative in Central Florida, where she facilitated sales, account relations, and event planning.
Austin Ward, Manager, and Co-Founder
Austin is best known for his many years in the service industries out in Yosemite National Park and most recently could be found at The Biltmore in Asheville, N.C. ensuring the highest level of genuine and skillful customer service.
Shop
Orlando brewery and taproom, making great beer and being super humble about it.
Open Tuesday to Saturday 3 - 10pm
We’re building something special and we’re not shy to say it. Sideward Brewing is a family-owned brewery, taproom, and kitchen coming to the Milk District in downtown Orlando.
We’ve taken a nearly 100-year-old warehouse and are building it out from the ground up. The brewery may be new, but we’re not new to beer - we’re a team of Orlando industry veterans on a simple mission: to create the best beer in the city.
