So, you might have read about our used car buying experience. Well, we wound up with totally the opposite of what we originally wanted and found ourselves in need of a Swedish auto mechanic. The Volvo Store had a 2 week wait on service appointments so we went online searching out an independent shop resulting in a fantastic find…Swede Central!
When you find a mechanic you can trust, you feel you’ve won the lottery. And, when it’s located a half block from a brewery, you’ve really hit the jackpot. We discovered Deadly Sins on Jackson Avenue, an industrial street off Fairbanks, around the corner from 4Rivers Smokehouse…another perk! We sauntered into the brewery one afternoon and discovered a sweet little place with tasty offerings and great conversation.
Our flight that day included Crème del Diablo, Margarita Saison, White Squall and A Lil High. As you can tell, we’re wimpy beer drinkers and prefer the lite stuff, versus dark ales and stouts. The Saison was my fave but Tom Adams, the co-owner, wouldn’t disclose the ingredients that gave it such a great flavor. Tom and Ana decided to open their own brewery after years of dabbling in home brewing. A visit to Asheville cemented their determination to go it on their own and share their passion with others.
The business has grown in popularity with the addition of live music and food trucks. Swede Dish shows up, from time to time, with their signature Swedish favorites. No relation to Swede Central, just a happy coincidence. Deadly Sins also started a running club with beer specials for runners and two or three mile routes available for those so inclined.
Though their location is hidden, the discovery of a new brewery in town was fun and, since our new used car will be making more visits to the Swedish car doctor in the future, we’ll make sure to stop in and chat with our other new friends, and share a brew or two.
Deadly Sins Brewery is located at 750 Jackson Avenue in Winter Park and is open Monday thru Thursday at 5 pm, Friday at 4, and noon on Saturday and Sunday.
