Beer Bars in Petersburg

“My wife and I recently traveled to Petersburg, Illinois to visit Hand of Fate Brewing Company. We like to do little road trips to check out different distilleries and breweries and Hand of Fate received high marks. We got into Petersburg early so HOF was not open yet, so we wandered around the downtown area and looked at some of the shops that were open. Nothing really for guys, but my wife picked up some nice stuff at the women clothing shops. Also, whatever stores we were in, everyone was so nice! Another thing is there is no parking time limit, so park your car with no worries about moving it. Back to HOF, we got there right when they opened and was greeted by Jamie our bartender. She was so nice and helped us make our beer selections by listening to what we liked then offering samples to make sure we picked the right one. I had the Loopy4Lupulin, which was very good and my wife had the Sweet Lou's Cider which she also enjoyed. I tried other beers that were good and ended up taking home a couple of crowlers of Wee Heavenly Scottish Ale (soooo goood!). They also have a few Tshirts, caps, stickers etc. for sale at reasonable prices. I was a bit disappointed, since they were out of my size in the shirt I wanted, but oh well - next trip maybe. If you want food, they share the space with Rahl's Landing. They are two separate businesses, so you will have separate servers and bills. The food is great though. Overall our experience at Hand of Fate Brewing Company was awesome! We'll worth the drive. I highly recommend that you visit Petersburg and Hand of Fate.“

“I went here with a couple friends to have drinks and some appetizers for my birthday and the food and the service was exceptional. She took very good care of us, I wish I would have gotten the name of our server/bartender so I could give her a shout out but unfortunately I forgot to. We will definitely go back again.“
