Narrative Fermentations is a casual and fun brewery that offers a diverse selection of tasty beers, including a good variety of 11 IPAs, stouts, lagers, ales, Pilsners, and sours. Their sour Radiate, with flavors like guava, boysenberry, blueberry, marshmallow, and vanilla, is a standout. The brewery features a rotating list of food trucks and live music on weekends, creating a laid-back atmosphere that many customers enjoy. Some visitors have found the food and service to be mediocre and expensive, but others appreciate the friendly staff and the good food from food trucks like Takoz Modmex, which offers amazing items such as birria ramen and cheese skirt burritos.
Though some customers would like more variety in the beer selection, they still enjoy the good quality of the beers available, including being blown away by the PB&J sour. The brewery has indoor seating options with a bar counter, bar top tables, sit-down tables, and a couch area. While some guests wish for outdoor seating, the indoor ambiance provides a great experience. Narrative Fermentations has a Facebook page where they post events and food truck vendors, indicating a good variety throughout the week. Overall, it remains a great spot to enjoy local brews and have a good time with friends.
