7 Best Craft Breweries near Oxford

“Beer is good but we are saddened that they will no longer have the card purchase for $50 for 11 beers. It was a good value. This may deter us from coming. If it is not working for black hog maybe raise price of card a little? We love the beer but beer is becoming expensive at all of the breweries. May stop coming out to the establishments unfortunately.“

“Vast tap selection in a welcoming environment. The staff is top notch and extremely knowledgeable! You’ll never have anything but an amazing experience at OEC! 🍻“

“Went to Brewbury for the first time today & loved it! Yummy food and great atmosphere. Delicious fried chicken sandwich & fried pickles! Nothing beats our server, Andrew! He was great!“

“CHANGE YOUR PACKAGING

Your beer is good, damn good. Y'know what isn't good? The can it comes in. I was asked by an employee if what I was buying was even beer because the stuff you wrap around your cans is seriously unappealing. I can't imagine it's cheap either. 99% of stickers look better than the wrap on your cans, really, just a sticker would be better.

The meat of this: a fully colored can doesn't make people think beer, it makes people think soda or hard seltzer, case and point the liquor store clerk who literally didn't know if it was beer when I checked out because the packaging is so weird. If the can gets even slightly bent in your hands, like even just a little spring from picking it up, you get this icky feeling of crunching plastic due to the wrap on the can. I'm sure a simple sticker would be cheaper than this considering brewers large and small use those instead. This packaging is terrible. This packaging is literally good for nothing, it lacks shelf appeal, it feels awful, and there's no way it's cheaper than a simple sticker. Even if you kept the same all-black design, it'd still be more recognizable as beer with a sticker instead allowing more of the metal to show near the top and bottom. This packaging is bad and beyond that I can't imagine it isn't an unnecessary expense considering how both large and small breweries label their beer. If you want something more fancy then invest in printing directly onto the cans like bigger breweries (or smaller ones with more successful beers), or if want something less expensive that actually looks and feels decent then switch to stickers, this plastic wrap looks pathetic and feels worse so right now you're kinda picking the worst of both worlds paying more for a worse product.

Why 5 stars? Great beer, I like supporting nearby businesses, and all things considered a gripe about labeling/packaging is minor especially in this case. Don't let it stop you from getting their beer or visiting this brewery, instead buy the beer and visit the brewery but also leave a backhanded 5 star review about how their packaging blows“
