3. Loaded Cannon Distillery

5.0 based on 6 reviews
One of Florida's premier craft distilleries. Opening its doors in July of this year, the distillery has a “pirate” themed tasting room and gift shop where learning tours are also given. They pride themselves in “treating you like a pirate”. The copper equipment is impressive and highlighted by a viewing window in the tasting room.

This distillery is such a cool find in LWR! When you first walk into the tasting room, you are completely immersed in the pirate story arrgh! You're able to take a tour of where the alcohol is actually made and let me tell you, that alcohol is good (my favorite is the vodka, but the coconut rum is great too). The owner, Steve, is very friendly as well. Will definitely be returning in the near future!!!

We visited during the week for a wine tasting. Catherine did a great job in describing the 4 wines we tasted. We purchased the Arid White. We’ll be back to purchase the new Siesta Sand wine in February. The amazing thing is they don’t charge for the tasting!! Catherine is also an artist. We purchased this wine glass she painted.

My hubby and I love breweries and decided to check out 3CG. We got there right when it opened up. The beertender was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Now the beers...I love going to a brewery where every beer I try, I like, and this is on the mark a 3CG...First I had the Blu Skadoo Blueberry Kolsch...wowss!!! Delicious!!! Hubby had the Holy Mole Porter which he really liked (I had a sip and yes, very, very good) Then I had a Spicy Amber beer..it was even better than the Kolsch! Hubby had the Move In Lager that he loved (I had a sip and it was delicious). We had a great time..just wish we lived closer because this would be our go to brewery for sure.
