“This was our first visit. We were here for a Maryland Black Bear watch party that Jon so graciously allowed our group to have here. What an amazing place! We started the evening being served by Katelyn and ended the night with John. They were fantastic! They are so friendly and outgoing, taking time to educate us about their beers and ciders and processes. They even have some rums and wines! Now, let's talk beer and ciders. This is the first local brewery we visited where we liked EVERY single one of the beers and ciders we sampled (we sampled 3 ciders and about 8 beers). I am not normally a beer drinker, but I think I have just changed my mind! I bought 3 cans of the cider to bring home: cherry blossom, blood orange, and an apple. So light and refreshing! Not sure which beer/ale to choose? Try a flight of 4. Great way to try something new. The brewery is dog friendly and even offers non-alcohol "brews" for the pups. The brewery does not sell food, but they have some awesome food trucks. Check their website for which truck will be there on the day of your visit. (You can also bring in food or order in.) If you are looking for a great local brewery with great beer/ale choices, with down to earth people and great atmosphere, then this is the place to go!!“

“amazing food, best sours on the east coast, fantastic friendly staff. what more could you ask for?“

“Very good beer flavors beer on tab. They serve and sell hand crafted beers with unique flavors. Very chill indoor bar with a large room that serves as a party/event area. When I went they had a food vendor there and the food was top notch.
Pricing was affordable and on point with the high quality beers. Staff was attractive and kind as well as knowledgeable“

“Thanks heaps for doing Renae Killen’s wedding, we had a ball and the beer was great!“

“I had the pleasure of participating in the tour (Guided Tour & Tasting - Brewing Focus in Baltimore) which I highly recommend. The tour guide representative was friendly, energetic and funny. The facility itself is state of the art and breathtaking. I highly recommend doing one of the tours they provide and it is family friendly with restaurants and they have their store.

I purchased a Guinness T-Shirt for my younger brother but I misplaced this at the store. I emailed customer service and the retail manager (she knows who she is) was very kind to send a new T-Shirt free of charge by overnight mail to my hotel in Baltimore. This was truly a class act and my hats goes off to her and her wonderful team that she manages. Thank you for a great day.“

“Great place for drinks a day live music. There is seating, and it wasn't overly crowded. Things to note-it is child and pet friendly. If that's not your vibe, take that into consideration. There are a few games and but overall just seemed like a chill place to unwind. Picture is of their Blueberry Sour. Smaller glass is a taste, while bigger glass is a full pour. It was very good. I'd go back and try more or do an official taste test, not on a Saturday evening.“

“Great variety of beer on tap, tasty pizza, friendly beertenders“

“Our favorite place for a family friendly outing!“

“We had a great time....but almost left before we got started. We had reservations, got a table right away, and then sat...and sat....15 min's later one of our group went to find a waiter and we were told to use a QR code to order....ok we are pretty with it, but we all had to get out our phones, our reading glasses, attempt to sign in to find the menu, we had questions about the beers and about the food, we had to try to figure out how to join the table group so we didn't have 5 bills...and just as we were getting fully flustered a very helpful young man came over and said he would be glad to help us...whew!! He was helpful and knowledgeable! He saved the day! We had great beer, delicious food, and a fun time!! Just a suggestion, when you see a more mature group, you may want to send help fast! We order a lot if we get to speak human!“

“Going to many places, you can really see the attention to detail to the point that even the Ketchup is spiced up. The food quality is excellent and is a mix of restaurant quality while still being 'bar food'. Overall very recommended. Oh yeah, and I guess the beer is good too.

Parking: Never had issues. “

“Excellent place for HH. They have Toast tab so everyone can be separate. They have long tables so a large group. They have games like cornhole and pool. The drinks are QUICK. This is the regular HH spot for my job. It’s just so easy. Also lots of parking.“

“Out of the way location, actually somewhat hard to find even for Google maps. The layout is kind of a separate bar and food truck format, which is fine. Chique industrial vibe. Every single person I encountered that worked there was more than awesome, they stood out above everything. The food... My wife got the Chicken strips, I got the 75 day dry aged burger, upgraded to o truffle fries. Their fries are good but very pungent with garlic. We actually took a lot of them home and recooked them in our air fryer and both agreed they were far better. The chicken strips were soft, moist, crispy batter, but the extra batter flavor was just hard to place, we agreed that it tasted like it was trying to be fancy. Same with the burger. The burger I ordered was medium, I'd say it was closer to medium rare / rare which I'm fine with, but when you're buying a $30 burger... I personally found the burger to be extremely unique and really liked it. My wife could have passed on the bay leaf blend. I really liked the unique flavors. It's not a large burger and not something I'd get again but I did enjoy it. Oh, their beer is awesome on every level so there's that!“

“Our favorite place for a family friendly outing!“

“It was a very chilled experience. I enjoyed trying all the different food and even having the desserts. I would recommend this to anyone in the Virginia area to take some time and visit the area as well as trying the restaurant.“

“Today is my son’s birthday, and he goes to BJ’s every year to celebrate. The food is great and the service is good . Every year during the holidays, their restaurant has a promotion where you get a $20 bonus card for every $100 gift card you buy—I love it!“
