New Around Town: Crooked Can Brewing Company has a Minneola location listed as coming soon at 1600 Crooked Can Loop.
If you know the Winter Garden Crooked Can, this looks like the bigger destination version: brewery, taproom, food hall-style options, outdoor space, live entertainment, and family-friendly amenities like a splash pad.
We added it to the Hello Middleton Business Directory so the details have a permanent home and can be updated as official opening info comes out:

Middleton Rocks is LIVE! A neighborhood treasure hunt where you paint rocks, hide them around Middleton, and track their journey as neighbors find them.
How it works: 1. Paint a rock with any design you like -- get creative with colors, patterns, or inspirational messages. Use acrylic paint and seal it with clear coat so it survives the Florida weather.
2. Register your rock at hellomiddleton.com/rocks to get an official MR-ID number. Write the ID and the URL on the back of your rock so finders know where to log it.
3. Hide it somewhere fun in the neighborhood -- park benches, trail markers, playgrounds, near the town squares. Anywhere public and safe where someone might stumble upon it.
4. Find a rock? Log your find on the site with a photo, and choose to re-hide it for the next person or keep it for yourself. Either way, you earn points!
Every rock gets its own journey page with a QR code, a timeline showing everywhere it has been, and a photo gallery of every finder. Watch your painted rock travel across Middleton!

-- Find a rock: +5 points
