As a beer enthusiast I was pleasantly dumbfounded to try the vanilla dream and orange dreamsicle beer. Absolutely the best I have ever had and I have had a lot of different beers.

Service and food was great!I wish there was more variety in beers. There are too many cream ales.

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.

We love attending trivia Wednesday nights! They have a selection of beer, wine, liquor, and food to enjoy. We also like the outdoor seating area on nice days and the board game selection.

Great place, always busy when we visit. The food is pretty good, and the beer is exceptional!

Leaving 5 stars because I like this place, the food, and the drinks… but heaven forbid you bring 20 people and a cookie cake because it was a birthday… Almost everyone ordered apps, food and had 5+ drinks each. The staff already made us move outside, then an hour later we get lectured by the owner/manager of the food side that they’re a small business and they make desserts and should’ve called ahead to ask… Big turn off after coming here for years. That kind of attitude makes people want to take groups of 20 for a bday gathering elsewhere. Just a friendly note. I’ll be back, but that was not a great experience.

Really cool place. Little bit loud and rowdy on a Saturday afternoon. Easily the best sloppy Joe I've ever had outside of key west.

Hand of Fate is a wonderfully comfortable place where one can visit with friends while enjoying an excellent assortment of on-site brewed craft beers. Mike and Brie are wonderful Hop hosts!! ☘️
