Shipyard Brew Pub & Big Wheel Provisions opening Winter Park marketplace

Fred Forsley, president of Shipyard Brewing Co. in Portland, Maine, and chef Tony Adams, owner of Big Wheel Provisions in Orlando, Fla, announce plans to open a Shipyard Brew Pub and Big Wheel Provisions marketplace this October. Located at 200 W. Fairbanks Ave (former site of Strollo’s Cucino Due), the joint venture will pair the award-winning craft beer of Shipyard Brewing Co. with the locavore and artisan food created by Tony Adams of Big Wheel Provisions.

The Shipyard Brew Pub will feature a 28 gallon brewing system. Beer will be brewed on the premises under the direction of accomplished Orlando brewer Ron Raike. Raike will brew small batches of seasonal and unique beers based on his own creativity and ingredient availability. The pub, overseen by Adams (left), will feature a chef-driven menu created with local, seasonal ingredients.

The Big Wheel Provisions marketplace will feature a regularly revolving selection of deli items, local produce and eggs, artisanal cheeses, hard-to-find specialty food products, cookbooks, food-focused periodicals, and kitchen tools. Alfresco dining, cooking classes, catering, and local delivery service will also be offered.

On Monday, Aug 16, food lovers are invited to experience a taste of what’s to come at the Audubon Park Community Market, where Big Wheel Provisions first began. People will have the chance to meet Raike, sample award-winning Shipyard beer, check out foods from Big Wheel Provisions, and chat with Adams about this new venture. The Community Market is held in the Stardust Video and Coffee parking lot at 1842 E. Winter Park Road in Orlando from 6-10 pm.
