17 of the Best Breweries in Richmond, Virginia - Eater DC

"Strangeways’ flagship location is a 8,400-square-foot production brewery with an oddity-stuffed barroom that boasts ample indoor seating, arcade games, and a festive, pup-friendly biergarten. The 36 rotating taps contain a diverse selection, including a consistent Nucleus Series of lagers, IPAs, and white and brown ales. At a Scott’s Addition location, Strangeways is conveniently nestled next to Smohk RVA BBQ." - Stephanie Ganz

Good brewery! The tap list is extensive, the vibe is funky, and the beer is good. The location itself is kind of boring and just outside of the hip and happening spots, but there is ample parking and that’s the reason I chose this location over the Scott’s Addition one. Plenty of seating options with outdoor seating, spots in front, and seats in back for live music. The giant pretzel was a smidge dry, but that didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of it..for $8 it’s definitely worth the price. They’ll do up to ten samples at one time so there’s plenty of ways to find the beer you like. You can also get a 5oz, 13oz, or 20oz of any beer. Come check it out!

Hidden gem. If your looking for a low key, chill spot to sit and enjoy a great beer, look no further. Robust menu of beer styles. Board games, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a super chill vibe. If I want to avoid Scott's Addition (I normally do), I come here.

Friendly brewpub in a industrial space, is spacious, but the brewery area looks huge. Nice varied selection of beers, with lots of hoppy and sour beers to choose from, along with a few Belgians and dark beers. My beer wasn't cheap, but it was a vintage sour, and it tasted great so no problem there. I don't think they offer food. I like the bar top, made with funky pictures and brewery stuff. I have no clue how they got a beer tray from the old Boswell brewery, but you can check it out in the can.

Really cool place outside of downtown Richmond. I stopped by while on a visit from Delaware. Plenty of room to enjoy a beer. I had a flight because of the wide variety of options. The best of the bunch was the gingerbread Pumpkin Imperial Porter. It was very tasty!

I love breweries that have funky different beers. I don't want a hundred different IPAs. Strangeways has so many styles of beers that there is something for everyone! Staff was very knowledgeable and they were patient with me while I was being so indecisive. Check out their swag while you're there

An amazing brewery that helped to start the trend which recently made Richmond, VA the World's top brewery destination. Great innovative brews from unique stouts to American IPA's. A well done project from start to finish. We'll managed, we'll run and best of all the Best Pub Fare anywhere...the innovative Vietnamese Cuisine that brought breweries and gastro pubs to Richmond...a must visit...

Really interesting brewary in Richmond, definitely recommend. They had about 20 beers on tap, great stouts, great sours and nice one offs like a gelato chocolate. Cool set up as well. Bartender was super nice.

Gotta love the funkiness of this place, but I have given up on the Dabney St. location. For the second time, the place was severely understaffed (ONE bartender) despite the fact they had two events happening. How does that happen? I would have stayed longer, but when I saw the length of the line to order - and the lone bartender still happily giving out multiple tasting samples - I had to move on.

Great selection and great service. Had a flight of dark beers and loved the Snow Monkey. Lots of seating. No real food selection just snacks but had delivery avail from Fat Tuna grill. And there are eateries in the same building. Would def come back!

Confession- I was at Strangeways Brewing for the pottery pop up market that was in the back- walking passed barrels to the patio strung lighted area was magical! There is Clayworks Pottery Supply a couple doors down and they coordinated with the brewery for this market while the pottery conference was in town! John enjoyed a flight while I met, chatted and ended up friending a few potters. I even snagged some treasures! Family friendly- there is a patio outside, plenty of games and a large indoor seating area and bar.

I've been to this location twice. Once for a yoga class and another for the RVA Burlesque Festival. I think they have incredible events here. It's a really great space. It's located in what feels like an office park, but it has a nice outdoor space. The seating inside is also cool with the decor and the windows. The people who work here are incredibly nice. I love the back room with the big barrels. For the RVA Burlesque Festival, the barrels framed the stage very beautifully. I've only tried one drink here and it was the Sangria Sour. It was not for me. They seem to pour a huge amount of syrup/dye in it and it tasted a little too syrupy sweet for my liking. My friend got their cider (I think it's called something like Grandma's Apple Pie) and she really liked it. She said it tasted like Fall and was very comforting. I highly recommend visiting this spot for one of their great events.

Such a fun time at Strangeways Brewing! We got the 10 count beer flight to try many of their options! They have so many games to entertain your group as well. Cozy spot in Scott's Addition.

Fun atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating and live music, which was hard rock but pretty good local bands, but they had lots of games to play if you came with a group. Amazing selection of beers and staff was friendly as well. They don't really serve food here but have a few snack items at a good price but I ended up ordering the nachos and threw them away because they were awful! Lots of parking available and it is in an industrial area strip mall in case you think you are in the wrong area when coming.

Four of us had 30 minutes to spend here so we decided to stop and give this place a try. We all wished we had more time! This place is in a small strip mall type of building. There is parking on the side and the rear. There is also indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice this time of year. Most of the outdoor tables had umbrellas. We went in and were served quickly. They have different size pours so you don't have to commit to a large beer! We tried the pilsner and the Helles lager. The lady at the bar was really nice! The Helles beer was quite good! It is a very relaxed atmosphere and very cool place to spend some time. Plus there is an old railyard right behind it with some old cars there when we were there. Definitely will be back!

Wanting to try a new brewery in Richmond, I found my way over to Strangeways on New Year's Day. I walked in at about 130 and the place was completely empty except for me and Scott, who was taking care of the bar. He helped me decide on a flight, which I appreciated, they had about 30 beers available. Most were sours and stouts, usually not my thing. I decided on six and he presented them to me in a round tray, it looked like a game of Wheel of Fortune. Probably the most memorable one I had was the Lucky Charms Weiss. Now I've had a Lucky Charms IPA before and it really tasted like marshmallows. This one was different, I could taste the milk and then the cereal separately in the beer. I liked the sour cherry cobbler. I've had a few cherry beers, and they're usually too tart or too sweet. This one had a nice balance of the too, it was a relaxing beer to drink. The Woodbooger, not my thing. It is classified as a Belgian brown ale, but to me it tasted like coffee. I'm sure it would be great for a lot of people, but not my style Also I like an IPA with some dank and the Furrowed Brow delivered. Really good beer. I was charged 3-5 bucks for each 3.5 ounce sample, not too bad. The vibe is a little psychedelic without being too off the wall. The place is a little off the beaten path, but it's worth going to.

I love breweries but am not a huge beer fan, so I typically look for the places that have a variety of options- and strangeways does! I got the apple pie cider and it was delicious. I would definitely go back because there is such a variety of different drinks. The space is large with a variety of seating options. When I went, they had live music and a food truck outside, but you could also sit inside and hear the music without it being too loud. I like to stop in for a drink while I'm waiting for a table at one of the nearby restaurants.

I have loved the place for years. The staff is always friendly. Their swag is very nice. The variety of beer that they have is awesome. They keep a handful of core beers but I love how they are always experimenting. I really like the syrup that they put into their berliner weisse. Once the lockdown is past, this is a great place to go and relax. Nice outside section. They even offer some snacks.

Despite the chill atmosphere, the sweet happy hour deals, friendly servers, and the large variety of beers, I just wasn't into Strangeways. While in RVA from out of town to explore the local breweries, Strangeways drew me in with the creative beer flavors and styles described online. The problem is the taste didn't really live up to the names and descriptions. My wife and I chose a flight of 10 beers. Styles ranged from IPA bitter to Lucky Charms sweet, and not one of the 10 stood out to me. Now, maybe I'm expecting too much, but with some of the local competition around the corner, visiting Strangeways might not be worth it.

Thanks Strangeways for hosting our soccer players and parents in your fabulous back room on Friday night! Friendly staff, delicious beer, and a fun space all too ourselves -- it was great. We will be back!

I went here for a paint and sip. I didnt pay attention to the fact that it was a brewery and I assumed they might also have wine in stock just in case someone asks. Nope. They only had beer.. not really a surprise or a big deal.. just was a let down for me because I dont like beer. I did try one at the recommendation of the bartender.. it was a "smuckers jelly" sweet beer. It was okay, probably as close to a wine taste as can be expected. The paint n sip was expensive... $40... and was a bit of a let down. The instructor was nice, but just not as interactive or fun as I'd expected. It just seemed like alot for a ticket when the supplies provided were so basic. I hope gets better for the next class. We wont be back though.

located in Scotts Addition near the ballpark. Excellent selection of beers. I highly recommend theIr NE IPA, Murder Hornet. Its more fruity and citrus. Parking is on the street as most all places are in Scotts Addition. Yes, they have food. Great atmosphere. Well worth dropping in for a long visit.

Strangeways is aptly named. Their brewery originally popped onto my radar about a month ago when my beer friend traded me a box of Richmond-local beers. Their Uberlin Berliner Weiss was, by far, my favorite of the bunch. So light and lovely...and awesome label art! So when I decided on a whim to casually drive 3.5 hours down to Richmond, I knew a visit to Strangeways was a must. It ended up being our last stop of the weekend before heading home, but it was well worth going a little out of the way to see. Similar to many other breweries, their location is a little funky -- but it works for them. They're at the end of a strip mall away from downtown Richmond. If you're heading to The Answer from the city center, it's a good place to stop along the way. It's also not too far from the Scotts Addition neighborhood, which is brimming with breweries and delicious food options. The weather was gorgeous -- a warm and sunny early spring day -- so we walked inside, ordered flights, and chose a picnic table to imbibe. Keep in mind: You may not want to sit at the very end of the seat if no one else is sitting already...unless you want to induce a see-saw effect. I felt so hefty for a second. For the flights, you can choose any amount up to 10. I couldn't help myself with all their incredible options, so I picked six for my flight: - Smucker's Jelly Uberlin - Sour Cherry Cobbler - Red Sangria - Lücky Charms - Pink Lemonade - Razzle Dazzle Yep. Basically, you'll be in good company if you're not all about bitter brews and insane stouts. Although they do offer several stouts. My friend enjoyed them (and bought some bottles to go) but I stuck to my flight. Red Sangria, Razzle Dazzle, and Sour Cherry Cobbler were my standout favorites. I felt like the jelly fell a little short in potency, and the pink lemonade radler would have been better had I been sitting on a beach somewhere. I understand they also had fruit loop and jolly rancher beers in the past, and I'd LOVE to try those if they bring them back someday. It's worth taking a walk around the brewery before heading out. The operation is pretty large, and they have a diverse stock of beer merch in addition to their bottled to-go section. I only regret not purchasing that 6-pack of Uberlin. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be back one day soon anyway!

They have a huge selection of beer. Something for everyone. Tonight there was a really cool band playing. Merchandise is definitely a plus. So much cool stuff. Apparently they have 3 locations. You won't regret going here. They have beer flights that are no joke!

This was probably our most peculiar stop in our road trip. Strangeways brewing has a look and feel that grabs you pretty much the second you walk in. This is my type of place. The guy who helped us was incredibly knowledgeable about beer, brewing, and the industry in general... plus, you can see the passion when he talked to you. He spent a good deal of time talking about their beers to the customers before us, and us. That's always a great sign. The taxidermy décor around the tasting room kept us wowing and exploring every inch while we enjoyed our beers. The bier garden outside was comfortable and in a nicely open area. Of all the things we tried, I strongly recommend: Gourd of Thunder Imperial Pumpkin Porter, the Festbier, but most of all the Rallenta Flemish Red Ale! Outsanding stuff.

If I lived in Richmond I would probably spend a LOT of time here. I enjoyed the feel of the brewery, the beer, and the people here. Oh, and they have awesome games in the back, plus lots of cool merch. I will say I felt a tad out of place later into the day when the backroom basically became a playground for the tiny humans that accompanied their parents for snacks and picnics. But I do appreciate them for being family friendly. They have some really interesting beers on tap; I will definitely come back and sample more... but I will probs skip the sours this time.

Strangeways had a fun and funky vibe to it, and a lot of funky sours to fit the bill. I enjoyed a flight of sours, and my dog enjoyed the dog friendly environment and free treats. One of the staff even brought by a water bowl for our pup, which was a nice touch. The line was wicked slow when we were there, which was the only bummer, but we appreciated their efforts to keep folks spaced out and safe during COVID.

We love strangeways! They have so many beers options but normally have 1-2 ciders or seltzer options for us GF people who still want to drink when out with friends. They have a nice patio which is pet friendly.

Great spot for a group event. I went with ~75 people tonight and we all had a blast. Not much of a food selection (snacks) but the beers were delicious and lots of choices. Staff was incredible. Definitely recommend this place for a group event.

August 2018, 3.5 out of 5. We stopped here during a tour of breweries in the city of Richmond. While strange ways is a bit out of the way, it's definitely worth a trip. We had had a few of their beers at a local brew fest and thought it was worth a shot. It definitely was. They had a wide variety of styles and all of them were pretty solid. Well nothing stood out as exceptional the general competence was worthy of commendation. If you find yourself in the general area it's definitely worth a stop.

Decided to visit Richmond to visit the many breweries it hosts. Strangeways is known for having some sour beers. They were a change of pace for us but very good. If you're not into the sour flavors, they have others as well. Try the Hop Howler! Staff was friendly and the atmosphere is industrial with a hipster vibe. Enjoy!

I love Strangeways... though I would say before you read on you really need to like sour (tart) beers... because if you don't you will most likely not like Strangeways. Some of my favorite sour beers are Monk's Sour Flemish Ale and Dogfish Head's Festina Peche. So if this is your kind of thing I would read on... if not, you should try out some other breweries and stop reading this altogether:) I've had their Fruit Loops, Banana Runts (sounds odd but even if you don't like banana flavoring I think you will like this as I can't stand most banana flavored things), Sangria, Smuckers, Apple Sour Uberlin (all the uberlins are good) , Most any of their radlers are delicious... they have so many beers I can't remember them all... I'm not too big of a far of the wild sours... as they are pretty funky. I've also had their pumpkin gingerbread nitro stout last season which was delicious and smooth. Anyway if you like sour beers or beers on the sweeter side you will love Strangeways! This is also a great place to bring friends that are visiting... which we did in fact bring a friend recently. Also great for kids as there are games that they can play. I can't wait to go back after I have my little bun in the oven!

Very funky, groovy brewery. Nice indoor and outdoor seating options. Got a 5 beer flight, all good. The Gnar Shredder DIPA and the Apricot Pale Ale are great. The Watermelon Sour is very good too if you're into that type of thing.

Great place! Solid outdoor area. Back bar is sneaky, and awesome. Their beers are diverse, and to a certain degree, hit or miss. Cool decorations, free water and peanuts. Parking was fair. Kind of out there in location relative to other places. Game selection solid. Ended up being $29.00+tax tip for a flight of 7 (vary on price by beer). Good ones to try: - Woodbooger; very solid brown - Albino monkey - Imperial Gourd (not the gingerbread, which was intriguing but got old after a sip or two) - Come on you want to Lei me (super weird and unique, but totally worth trying) - Lucky Charms. Take a Witbier and add marshmallow syrup. My wife liked it, everyone else didn't haha .

Strangeways was...strange. Not necessarily in a bad way, but I get why they picked the name. I'd give It 3.5 stars if I could. The décor is inspired by horror movies & a touch of modernistic art...I think. When visiting breweries I seldom pay much attention to the decor, but it's hard not to notice it here. Still, my server was friendly, and that's all that really mattes to me. The main reason for my visit was it's focus on sour beers. But their beer menu had almost 20 brews to chose from, so those who are looking for something beyond sours won't be disappointed. That said, even as a sour beer fan, nothing particularly struck my fancy. I liked the Melon Sour, but the others were so so. I also went out on a limb for the GWAR blood red ale, but didn't like it at all (serves me right for picking beers based only the name).

Cute place! We stopped in while waiting for another brewery to open and I'm glad we did. We opted for a flight and enjoyed every beer! The guy working was helpful enough and the back area was really cool. They had a whole display of "freakers" which was neat as that's a company from our hometown. We'll definitely stop in again next time we're in the Richmond area.

Visited for a live show. We tried a number of beers. Was surprised that many of the beers listed are created by adding flavored syrup to a base beer. We filled a take home growler with one of their red ales. The staff said that this was in the style of some German beers. For example, they use Uberlin Weiss as a base for another beer and add a raspberry flavoring to create a raspberry flavored beer. They had a food truck outside that served burgers, chicken sandwiches, and more at reasonable prices. They sell t-shirts, hats, and other souvenirs.

I really enjoyed myself here. The atmosphere was colorful inside the front store. They do have seating outside and also seating in the brewery. We got lucky and found seats in the front store. Beers on tap are fire. Bought their flight and a goblet of sugar shack somoa something, fantastic. Sugar shack beer was probably the best tasting local beer I've had. I totally overlooked they had a lucky charm beer, so that will be purchased the next time. Food truck was outside but didn't get a chance to buy anything. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you Strangeways for a lovely visit.

Unique, to say the least. Lives up to its namesake with all the interesting knock knacks, artwork & wall hangings. They had an awesome beer(besides the numerous ones pictured) called lucky charms. It was green and it really tasted like the cereal! Once again, not crowded b/c we hit this place on a Tuesday afternoon. Love it when it's not crowded!

It feels weird reviewing a micro-brewery. Yelp is predominately all about food reviews and they don't really serve food at a micro-brewery. Strangeways Brewing is no different in this respect. They had some dude selling pizza out back. But who really cares about food? You come here for the amazing beer. At this time the only thing I have to compare them to are fellow brew bro's Ardent and Hardywood. The taste of beer is so subjective it's hard to be objective. However there are some things that set Strangeways apart from their cousins. For one, the selection at Strangeways is FANTASTIC. In this Yelpers opinion I found the variety to be spot on. Strangeways gets it. The craft beer drinking community isn't all about the hops. Not all of us like enough IBU's to rip your face off. Many of us like smooth beer. Many of us like the flavor of malted barley or the aromatic fruit and spice notes of a Saison. I'm a sucker for cloudy & sour wheat beers. But on occasion I'll roll soft with the "HOP crew" and I rather enjoyed the 45 IBU GWAR Blood. The variety is off the charts and they know it. Well done Strangeways Brewing! You are #1 in my book. The staff is the friendliest bunch of people you'll meet in Richmond. They were super accommodating and very professional. All around I felt a great vibe at this place. I honestly can't wait to make my second visit.

I have to say, that for my boyfriend and I, this is our "place". I've always loved it here, attentive staff, boardgames and always a friendly crowd, but you can get that really at any brewery here in Richmond. What sets Strangeways apart is their back room events- They have an adorable stage!! It's 6:30am on a Sunday and I'm still laughing about the fantastic comedy show I went to last night. ($5.00 at the door!) I've also enjoyed Brews and Burlesque many times as well. Certainly a different brewery, something special. I just love it. You will too. Events are displayed on Facebook and at each table. We also brought our own food as we usually do- However- BELMONT PIZZA DELIVERS HERE!! They have a convenient menu folder with numbers to restaurants that deliver. We brought Bon-Chon wings because this isn't a hobby. Also- The best winter beer in Richmond has to be the Woodbooger. It's a full bodied brown ale, 25IBUs and 5.7%ABV It's just damn tasty. They offer a seasonal "Caramel Woodbooger" certainly a more sweeter version, just like my recent upgrade in men! If sweet isn't your thing, they're one of the only breweries that makes sours, I'm not that into the sour, so I don't have much to say about it. Bottom line- bring food, check out the events, drink the beer

Okay! Okay! Okay!!! Can I start with the service or should I rave about the beer or the food truck they had outside!!! Alright the service!!! Let me tell you these folks will go the extra mile to make sure you taste every beer, get the right size, and color t-shirt, have a place to sit and are 100% satisfied. Tip the Hell out of them because they fecking deserve it!! The beer!!! What a huge and diverse selection! We tried darks, sours, sweets!! Then saw even more selections!!! Kirsche beer (cherry) oh yes please! Then a 'wake me up before you gose' with the perfect balance of sweet citrus and salty goodness this is a day at the beach beer if I've eve had one!! The atomic ape (or something like that) dark, deep, intoxicating bourbon flavoring in this stout like brew. The flavor was on point and I'm surely not describing it properly!!! The food truck that night was The German Snack Shack!!!! Jeeeezus!! Weisswurst like you get in Munich!!! A grilled Brie with apple slices.

We came here to Strangeways Brewing during our recent day trip to Richmond. This was our second brewery stop during our visit and unfortunately for me I was getting pretty full. But nevertheless, I was eager to try their beers. I'm always pleasantly surprised when a brewery has multiple beers on tap; Strangeways had about 20 beers to choose from. I also noticed they had plenty of sour beers to choose one. I opted for their brown ale while my husband chose the Nucleus tasting which included six of their beers. I tried some of the beers my husband ordered and I thought they were pretty good. The brown ale I chose was well made- definitely a heavier beer but a good sipping beer. I liked the funky decor- everything was bright and colorful but the subjects were dark at the same time. The brewery itself is relaxed. There is seating inside and outside, puppies are allowed outside, and there was a food truck offering what smelled like tasty noms. The staff is friendly and made great recommendations for their beers. Definitely worth a visit.

Visiting from out of town and received a recommendation for Strangeways from a local friend. The location feels a bit out of the way at first (read: industrial park neighborhood) but once inside, you'll feel right at home. It is also close to I-95 for those weary travelers looking for libations. I sampled two Goses, both quite good. Their spiced lager, the Albino Monkey, was also quite good. The IPAs were unremarkable. Consistent with the namesake, Strangeways gets you there in sweet, funky style. Love the eclectic decor, fun staff, and healthy selection of board games. Did not tour the brewery this time but hoping to upon a return visit....

Strangeways is a very chill eclectic place. It's a brewery where you can kick back and relax with a variety of brew. I'm not a huge beer, IPA, Lager, Local Draft beer type of person. Generally, I drink wine and bourbon. We always get a beer flight so that we can over indulge and taste a variety of beer. My favorite beer is their Mellow Mango! It is sweet and sultry. It tickles my tongue and dances on my tastebuds. This is actually the only one I order. My least favorite is the lucky charms. I first thought of lucky charms as being a green troll related beer. Well it's a little more than green. It actually taste like the marshmallows form lucky charm cereal. Ugh I was not pleased. It was horrible. I usually avoid the marshmallows in my lucky charms because they hurt my teeth. You have to truly love lucky charms in order to love the flavors that this brew embodies. The service is pretty great. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

I went to Strangeways with a friend one night for a drink because I heard they always have good sour/gose type beer. The vibe of the place is great. A nice place to meet up, and they even have music sometimes. However, many of their beers are made with 'syrup' for flavor (said directly on their menu). I feel that this sacrifices taste, making the sours that I tasted generic and mediocre. I haven't had any other types, but wanted to share for anyone who is into gose like me.

I stopped in at Strangeways Brewing on 8/18/18 after a long day of exploring the craft breweries in the Richmond area. I was not unfamiliar with Strangeways. The brewery had popped up at a couple of beer festivals I had attended. It was late when we arrived but everything from the variety of choices to large tasting room and outdoor space made it seem ideal as a place to hang out. The ambiance of the tasting room seemed cohesive with their branding of the monkey. I was surprised how far out the brewery was compared to the other breweries in the area (e.g. the Scott's Addition neighborhood). However after being greeted by a bartender inside, I understood why. Strangeways appears to be somewhat already established. I ordered a flight and discovered that many of Strangeways beers had unique flavor profiles (and names to match). I don't remember a specific beer. I do remember that brewers seem to be more interested in creating unique flavors than what is commercially popular. In a nutshell, my stop at Strangeways made me interested in learning more about their the beers; and, in the future, I plan on checking out their other location in Fredericksburg, VA.

Maybe I just love the name because of the "Stranger Things" fever that is going on but I was a big fan of this brewery. This place has beer for everyone. There are so many options! My boyfriend and I have very different tastes when it comes to beer but we split a flight and ended up enjoying each other's choices. The standouts for me were the albino monkey, passion fruit radler, and the brown ale. Other interesting ones were the hoppy wheat and the black Belgian tripel. The inside is very eclectic. I loved the sign with the Christmas lights (added more to the Stranger Things vibe). The workers were super friendly and the events listed sounded really fun (Burlesque and Beer?) I'd definitely put this breweries in my favorites for future visits to Richmond

Somewhere, deep in a Richmond industrial park, there are monkeys. Many monkeys. Albino Monkeys. And a Samoa Porter. And a dark as night Belgian Black Tripel, oak aged and dark as night, with jellybeans added to "enhance the insanity." Seriously. RVA. You impress me greatly. Also, I'm strangely turnt. Keep RVA strange. Lol.

I'm a big fan of visiting local craft breweries, so my partner booked us a trolley tour that took us to Strangeways. I'd heard good things about the brewery so I was excited to check it out. When we arrived, there was an Irish dance contest in progress in the front lot, which threw me off a bit. Clearly the tour didn't pick the best day to visit this brewery as pretty much everyone else was there for the contest, but I digress. With limited time to sample their products, I opted to try the pumpkin sour and wished I hadn't. The taste was more bitter than I expected rather than the sweet taste of pumpkin. After that, I think I had an IPA that was good but nothing special IMO. I really liked the decor and the representation of their brand, but it felt more like a neighborhood bar rather than a brewery.

I tend to prefer a more dive bar like setting and this place checks those boxes. A bit less crowded. A lot more relaxed. Great beers, plenty of space for social distancing. The friendly staff and sweet Playlist (90s grunge most recently) is a great retreat from reality.

Love your events that you have available online! The beer is great, the events are fun, the place (while off the beaten path) has a big building and great parking. Very cool.

Great beer and atmosphere. Bartender was less than friendly. He didn't say hi to anyone that walked in. Food truck was great!
