Good selection of tasty beers. Food is good as well and covers a variety of tastes. Cheese sauce for the pretzel is excellent and it is also in the nachos!!

Simply phenomenal beer. I ordered a flight after tasting all of the beers I chose. There were no rejected beers. Just all amazing. And the staff is just top notch as well. Best brewery experience ever. I'm from our of town.

Don't listen to Ward A. His group was visibly intoxicated and I heard shouted obscenities from them multiple times, as did all the tables full of people around me. Dude just can't handle being asked to leave cause you'd had too much to drink. Be a man about it and just go home. Stop with your pathetic, flimsy excuses. People applauded when your party finally left.Great job by all the staff handling this drunk group and trying to create the atmosphere everyone expects at Silver Branch.

This place hates minorities despite their pleathora of flags in the window. I met some friends there for some beers and I wasn't even through my second one when we were told to leave for being "too loud and vulgar." I asked them to cite examples and they just couldn't. I'd heard from other friends that this place didn't like black folks and I just simply didn't believe them. But alas, I was treated with the same racial bias that they were for simply being louder than "normal people" when I was telling stories. The beer I had was good though and my server was awesome. So I'll give them that. It's that barely legal Karen of a manager that can sit and spin.

Love this brewery! I come here on date night, come here with my kids, and both are perfect. They have tons of board games to play and are always hosting some sort of board game night or trivia in a not annoying way. Their Oktoberfest was particularly awesome. It’s very gay friendly and not too macho, which I appreciate at a brewery. You can order from a QR code so it’s fast service to get food and drinks. They have great beer and a few delicious cocktails. Tons of seating inside and out. Parking is not plentiful, so prepare to walk from a garage or bike or walk.

Good beer and good food. I think my only complaint was it was quite crowded when I visited, so we had to stand around for a bit waiting for a seat to open up (but who can blame folks for going to a great brewery on a Friday night?)

You walk into most breweries these days, and you’re met with a “choice“ of seven different varieties of IPA.Not at Silver Branch, where they have at least a half dozen decidedly different styles, and all are quite good—as consistently good a brewery as we’ve found on the East Coast.It’s not perfect—the food leaves something to be desired (pretzel + beer cheese = good), when it’s busy, the service can be sort of a disaster, and the order on an app on your cell phone is annoying as hell.But good beer plus a nice ambience goes an awful long way!

JP and Alexa are rockstars! So warm, friendly and welcoming! The cocktails are always delicious and the level of service is nothing less than immaculate. We will be back to see them soon!

Amazing lager, into the fog. Worth a try. The nachos are delicious.

Attended the PACKED Drag Bingo event last night and had an amazing time. The service and beer were good, the atmosphere friendly and fun, and the show was a blast! So happy to have Silver Branch in town.

Been coming here for years.... and love it. But unfortunately the service has been reduced to robots bringing your orders that you are forced to enter using an online ordering app. To make it worse, they charge you a fee to use this app! ugh, that means your tip is substantially reduced now, sorry. Beers are still pretty good tho.

Great spot with lots of seating (indoor and out) and easy QR ordering. Good selection of rotating tap beers and beergarden bites (warm pretzels with beer cheese, sausages, etc). Friendly staff and a full calendar of events (trivia, game nights, and other events like Oktoberfest with live music). Have had no issues bringing the little ones (changing tables, high chairs, some small board games, jenga, etc.)
