Shara Pathak is the bold founder of Brewlando®, a unique establishment that is both woman- and minority-owned in a predominantly male industry. Despite having no prior brewing experience, Shara entered the field driven by her compassion for the community and her dedication to philanthropy. She oversees Price Chopper Wristbands, a manufacturing company with 25 years of history, and has also expanded into the tech industry by founding TapNGo™, a digital access control and cashless purchasing platform, which she has grown into a thriving enterprise. When faced with the challenge of Brewlando's potential closure, Shara applied her entrepreneurial spirit and innovative mindset to transform the brand into a vibrant centerpiece of the local craft beer scene.

Under her leadership, Brewlando has become the largest brewery in Central Florida, featuring an impressive selection of 24 fresh, seasonal, and craft brews. Today, Brewlando has four locations: Brewlando Brewing in Orlando, Brewlando Maitland, The Winery and Tasting Room by Brewlando in Icon Park, and Brewlando Sanford. Each location offers something distinct. Its reach extends to 40 distribution points across the region, including restaurants, bars, and all major theme parks and special events across Central Florida.

Shara’s journey is not just about brewing; it’s a powerful story of inclusivity, compassion, and audacity that inspires dreamers and newcomers to believe in their potential and make their mark in any industry.
