Central 28 Beer Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in DeBary FL)

Central 28 Beer Company in DeBary, Florida, is the sort of place that makes you wonder how anyone ever survived on plain old lagers. At 290 Springview Commerce Dr you’ll find a taproom where the brewers treat ingredients like a scientist treats a test‑tube, experimenting with everything from crisp, clean lagers to aromatic hibiscus‑infused wheat ales. The lineup includes the surprisingly refreshing Up River Pale Ale and a sour selection that could convert even the most skeptical palate, while the Trail Rider IPA showcases why their hop work is anything but half‑hearted.

Since opening in 2015, the brewery has become a DeBary staple not merely for its drinks but for the community it cranks out alongside them. Live music, a disc‑golf course, and a rotating roster of food trucks turn each visit into a mini‑festival, and an online shop ensures you can keep the experience alive at home. The name itself—Central 28—pays homage to Florida’s central latitude, a nod to geography that feels earnest without being pretentious (the founders, who had worked together for years, decided a simple, accurate title was best). Easy to find from the major highways, Central 28 is proof that bold flavor and good‑natured camaraderie still belong together.
