Swells'a Brewing Beer Company

"Swells’a is a brewery, yes, but it’s also a community space, a fundraising venue, and the Outer Banks’s living room. Open year-round, go to Swells’a on any given evening there will be longtime neighbors mingling with tourists. Perhaps there will be live music, perhaps there will be a small market of local artisans, or perhaps (like on a recent summer evening) there will be a talk about surf safety featuring some of the sport’s most accomplished athletes. Oh, and the beer is great too — heavy on easy-sipping ales, lagers, and IPAs that are perfect for the beach." - Matt Lardie

"Swells’a Brewing has just about everything you could possibly want in a seaside brewery. You’ll spot local surfers who stop by for weeknight drinks, friendly puppies running around everywhere, and you can even catch a slight view of the ocean from the outdoor deck or second-story seating area. The rotating tap list also features a wide variety of beers, but just about everything on the menu tastes great while playing cornhole on the brewery’s lawn or after enjoying a full day of water-based activities.
