Fantastic brewery! The only thing that I am sad about is that it took me so long to get here. They have a beer menu that favors light beers (lagers) with some sours and IPAs. The beer was good. The beertenders were fantastic. Specifically Tim, he was fast and friendly. Plenty of seating on the main level, as well as more seats on the upper level. If you haven't yet, make the trip. This was a brewery that is on par with some of the best.

We love everything about this place!! Just miss the big table in the brewery by the fireplace!!! Always fits our groups!! Maybe bring it back? Hope so!! ?

Nice atmosphere and a wonderful Thai pizza from Stoke Wood Fired Pizza. The beer selection is a bit shorter than I am accustomed to however both I tried were excellent.

Girls Weekend with -30 degrees windchill! We thought we'd like to check out the live band, sample some brews and head back into town to catch the Iowa Hawkeyes ( women's) game...To our delight, the beer was cold, tasty and the barn was jumping! The band was just great and when we looked up, there was a large screen tv right in front of us...then there was pizza, more beer and more music!!! Needless to say- we stayed, ate, clapped and cheered for the band and the Hawkeyes. It was a memorable evening

Very tasty handmade pizza and great crafted beers. Definitely one for me to re-visit.

Harvest duck pizza, honey flat bread and lightest beer was all exceptional good.

This place is the perfect hangout spot. It is great for events, live music, tasting, and stocking up. Fantastic selection of wine and whiskey aged brews. Obviously, the winery is awesome also with the best selection of wines to stock up on a taste. Food cart on site for snacks, the pretzel, of course, is the best.

Visiting friends in town they took me here last Friday. They have a big parking lot but she did say if we would have come a few hours later or Saturday it is full, as well as the random spots along the road. I was thankful when we got here in the afternoon as that sounded like too many people for my comfort. I liked the comfortable, spacious and cabin-like tap room. We both built flights. I opted for the Pink Guava, Night Axe, Punch Face & Joe Dort. So I really covered the gamut in styles. Joe Dort was my least favorite, the other three were all tied for being delicious. Before leaving & after finishing our flights my friend walked to the winery in the next building and we all had a glass of Minnescato, and it was deliciously sweet!! As I type this I realize I forgot to buy a bottle to bring home! Fail. My beertender was helpful in assisting me building my flight, thank you. The tap room was spacious and offered regular height tables and high tops. Next time I'm up in the area I would gladly stop back in, cheers!

Great Beers with an awesome atmosphere. Wood fire pizza is a great addition. However the upstairs regardless of an event is always closed to the public when I'm here. I was told they don't want to spend the hour to clean it so they keep it closed. Owners, please open this space as it's really cool and fun. This is a must stop for anyone in the Alexandria area.

Great beer and atmosphere. And the Stone fired pizza pairs well with the beverages. If you prefer Wine, you can bring your wine over from the Carlos Creek winery.
LOVE this brewery! Friendly staff, awesome events, delicious beer, the list goes on. The food from the Stoke is also delicious. Whenever we come everything is delicious. Love the beer and olive Valentine's day event and the Beer Poke was a fun new thing as well!

We attended a 50th Wedding Anniversary hosted here. The Loft was reserved for the private party and we enjoyed beer from the Brewery, wine from Carlos Creek Winery (on the grounds) along with wood fired pizza from Stoke Pizza Kitchen

Unexpectedly nice place. It's a large, lofty cabin on the grounds of what feels like a small vineyard/campus. The beers are tasty and plentiful - we especially loved the Munich Helles and Norwegian Farmhouse Hazy IPA. It even has an adjoining restaurant with delicious pizza! You can sit inside or out, with inside being a friendly cozy brewpub vibe and outside being more like winery meets firepit. You really can't go wrong here.

Great brewery and tap room in the country next to vineyard, with pizza. Indoor & outdoor games.

The oat stout was fantastic and the outside seating was wonderful.
