Are you guys allowing the un-vaccinated to come in? Or are you guys still banning the un-vaccinated? This is the only place in Indiana that demanded my vaccine card to enter which is why I ask.

I gave up and finally canceled my food order after an hour of waiting.

I was told this was an excellent place, but unfortunately my experience wasn't stellar. Waited 45 minutes for my order. Waitress casually indicated kitchen is backed up. Then regular customer felt the need to mock me getting the waitress attention. Not the warmest of atmospheres in general. I got my order to go and my bill was reduced by $5. Not sure there will another visit from me.

The brewery is reminiscent to me of "The Store" on Halsted and Armitage, where a famous band played. Enjoyed my beer, and thought it was a great venue. When did their Schwarzbier become one my favorites? Not a place I wouldn't come to again. Not a bad choice for first brewery on a tour. I only remember to visit because my relatives were going to pay for my beer here.

Went during rock n rail because hubby’s work buddy is a regular. Big waste of money. The beer is nothing special in the region. It’s small and hot inside, the “patio” is just a piece of sidewalk, and the “owner” is very condescending to the staff. If you’re an old man or neckbeard, you’ll love it. It’s also not wheelchair accessible so pops didn’t even get to go. It’s a wonder the good breweries are going out of business, when this place is still here. Oh and they really want cash… suspicious? (They will take cards, but they charge you extra)
Edit: what a bizzare, neckbeard response from the owner. Proving my point entirely. My Dad’s wheelchair wouldn’t fit in between your weird wooden boxes outside. We tried.
*Handicap accessible is a lie if only certain, special handicap people can come in.*
Fellow consumers: Take a look at the owner responses to other reviews. This is exactly the type of man that would run the bar culture I witnessed

This is a great bar to meet submissive, socially awkward men. My favorite ?

When we went apple picking in NW Indiana near Chicago (Oct. '24), we discovered New Oberpfalz Brewing in Griffith, IN. What a great brewery+pub with outdoor and indoor seating to observe Oktoberfest! German cuisine on their menu was very typical of Gasthausen (guest houses) in Bavaria, The variety of their beers, lagers, and ciders created unexpected options to choose from to pair with the menu. The town of Griffith around the brewery has specialty shops to visit and there's a massive Serbian Orthodox Church on the edge of town with striking architecture. We plan to return to explore Griffith and tour New Oberpfalz' brewery.

Hopwagen is the best IPA beer ? in the world!

I'm from Germany and like to have my weekly brewery visit. After 3 years in the midwest and probably 50+ breweries, I must say that New Oberpfalz is a gem! Their brewing style is so on point, that it can easily keep up with the beers from the real Oberpfalz in Germany ;) Not only that, even the burgers are immensely delicious and unique! Whenever we can, we take a 1 and a half hour drive from Chicago to stop by on a weekend! Cannot recommend enough~
EDIT: the owner is only replying about the fee. This is not a standard thing and have no idea if it was on the menu. Either way, high prices and charging you fees others don't (pick one or the other, noth both). Plus his replies on other reviews have straight up lies about CC costs. All the major ones charge 2.90% + 0.30 fees. This is built into product costs everywhere. Hes charging as if the costs are in the food prices and then DOUBLE DIPPING by adding the fee. Server never mentioned the fee to us nor did we catch whatever fine print he put on things.
We won't be coming back and with his attitude he's not going to last very long. If the food portions weren't absolutely laughable I probably wouldn't care but the way things are run makes it very obvious that the owner is trying to max out profits at every turn including cutting down on portion sizes while raising prices AND adding fees. I guess having staff that you don't have to pay min wage to because of tips still isn't enough profit for them.
The food was OK but the prices and HIDDEN FEES (we dined outside, never went inside) are crazy. My lady and I got 2 apps and 2 meals with tea to drink. The $10 cheese curds were pitiful in size, barely one serving. The $11 perogis were bland. The $17 DOLLAR burger came with less than a small amount of fries and the $19 DOLLAR schnitzel plate was bland as well.
Then on top of the high prices they charge ANOTHER 3% fee for credit card processing. I run a business as well. If you accept cards you build it into the price (which by the high prices on everything you'd think its already there).
The service was slow and they even dropped one of our meals so we had to wait again. We will NOT be going back. The value for the food and them charging 3% on TOP of their high prices is insane. We've been here once before they expanded and the prices were OK. But for $80+ (with tip) I can get a better meal at a higher end place like coopers hawk that has larger portions.

Not worth the money for the portion sizes. Hidden fees on the bill. Reading other reviews others are having the same issue. Food was bland. Owner on here fighting insulting others. Claims there’s fees posted on their menu… WHERE? Owner please show on your menu where? Be a real man and stop insulting people who speak the truth on your overpriced brewery ? also learn to salt your guys food and stop serving frozen pierogis and cheese curds. They taste freezer burnt ;-)

Great beer selection awesome service and cool interior

Excellent brewery. They have some of the best beer in the area, and they’re food is absolutely delicious. Big fan! Been coming here for years and they have maintained their quality and atmosphere! Great servers as well!
The German style beer focus has always been a huge draw for me. Their Oktoberfest beer has always been one of my top 3 favorites each year, and they currently have a Schwarzbier, which is one of my favorite styles! No one in the area makes that style (Gnosis has made one recently but that’s is), and New Oberfalz knows how to do it! Plus the German style Pilsner and the helles are phenomenal.
The food is outstanding. The cheese curds are delicious, the avocado burger is one of the better ones I’ve had, and the schnitzel is so well done. The menu does go through minor seasonal changes (the schnitzel sandwich may just become a schnitzel dish or vice versa) with some additions and subtractions, but I’ve never had anything less than excellent with the food. And the schnitzel sandwich is reminiscent of your typical pork tenderloin sandwich found in the rest of Indiana. It looks absurd and tastes as delicious as it looks ridiculous. Order it. See pictures below.
Unfortunately there is a sign posted that says starting 9/1/24 they will start to add a 3% surcharge to any bill paid with a credit card, and that is always an automatic minus 2 stars with me. No exception. So when this comes into effect I will be subtracting two stars from this review.

I travel in an RV all over the continental US trying different breweries and found this outstanding gem. My first IPA was. HopWagen. Delicious, then tried their Hazy IPA. Total winner! Juicy Lucy burger was excellent. Don't pass this experience up there is outside sitting too on this summer night
