Pleasant staff and very welcoming to all. The service is above and beyond here. I enjoyed the Ginger beer that's on tap. I appreciate being able to try the beer before I purchase. I came here on a Friday night for a free comedy show. The comedians Cabell and Tony were the funniest. I like that there was a food truck on site but I had food at home before arriving. The ambiance here was okay for a brewery space. The outdoor area was gravel and patio picnic tables which weren't the most comfortable but bearable for a free comedy experience.

Their beer is fantastic and the selection in the bottle shop is great. Highly recommend!

Great selection of craft beer, their own and national. Great staff - helpful, clearly enjoy working there. Cool setting with beer garden, bottle shop, and inside seating

I was in Durham for a work trip and stopped by the Glass Jug Beer Lab RTP. As a guy who appreciates beer, this is a cool place. They brew their own beer, and you can also purchase a unique selection of beer in the store. I really enjoyed their Vienna Lager.

Comedy, trivia, music, picnic tables, wonderful beverages and an attentive staff...no complaints whatsoever.

Good place to have a drink. Nice back outdoor area. Sometimes they have a band (although getting some that are younger would be great:) or food trucks. The selection of beer is often lacking. The main reason why it loses 2 stars is the bartenders really aren't too friendly. And they want tips for pouring a beer w/an attitude? Hmmm.

Tucked away at the back of a non-descript strip mall in RTP, this shop is a hidden gem for craft beer lovers and craft cocktail makers. Outstanding selection of craft beers on tap and in package. And high-quality beers brewed onsite.

Update: I’m actually really glad to hear the owner’s very reasonable explanation. It is true that we did arrive about 10 minutes before noon. I’ll repeat though that I have nothing against kids and I don’t even have anything against well-behaved kids coming to a brewery with their parents *in reasonable numbers*. Being unaware that you were making a rare exception for a longtime neighbor, and having sadly seen this kind of transformation happen to other drinking establishments, hopefully you can understand my initial dismay. I’m looking forward to visiting again soon.***We used to visit this place frequently, especially in the warmer months, nearly every weekend. We loved it for their great rotating beer selection, expansive and pleasant outside beer garden, diversity of clientele, and overall relaxed vibe. We moved further away though and don’t get to visit as frequently. But the drive from south Raleigh is totally worth it, or at least it was. Yesterday (6.24.23) we made the trip for the first time since last fall. Unfortunately, when we arrived to the beer garden we stood there in stunned silence for a moment and then turned around and headed back home. It was swarming with screaming little kids and there was even, I swear to God, a freaking bounce house back there. At a brewery! There were balloons and stuff too so I guess there was also a child’s birthday party going on. I cannot express my disappointment enough that this favorite place has turned into Chuck E Cheese. Don’t get me wrong, I adore children. I think it’s a hoot to watch kids play and to talk to them. But when I go to a bar or brewery, I am NOT there to hang out at a playground and neither is anybody else. I mean, a couple of well behaved kids accompanying their parents is to be expected and not annoying at all. But to throw a damn kids party??? With a freaking bounce house??? I do not understand why parents insist on ruining every single establishment, even ones specifically intended for adults. This brewery does not serve food and they do not serve milk, juice, and sodas. I also don’t understand why more adult-focused businesses don’t stand up for their adult clients. Well, yes I do. It’s the power of the almighty dollar. But they can do it without harming their business. Ponysaurus has a sign specifically saying that their establishment is not for children. Yay them!

Epic place. Love the chill vibe and the bartenders are so nice. They have a lot of really cool small business items in there as well which I really loved! I went on Monday and did the flight for $8 which is really awesome. I tried almost all the sours. The "Peach" was awful and I didn't realize it was a ginger beer but the Edmonds Oast Blackberry Sour was amazing along with the Strawberry Lemonade Sour! Overall good experience and I'd come back!
Wonderful atmosphere. Outback area was unexpected but fantastic! Great beer selection. Had the Summer Zest which was amazing!

Awesome brewery/bottle shop with a great staff and good vibes. The outdoor beer garden is a great place to hang year round. This is a special place in the South Durham neighborhood

I like the beers and the spot! But some kind of "welcome" would be nice because nobody explains the concept, as if it were an obligation to know how it works, especially when it's your first time but of course the tip is good! In spite of that we had a good time. In my opinion the music is too low in the patio because it's an open area and it's a shame because they play good music!

Great selection, go crazy trying to find that one exotic beer that will complete your beer quest. Nice atmosphere, very relaxed neighborhood vibe. The regularly have food trucks out back, chill and listen to some local music in the beer garden.

The place has a nice relaxing atmosphere. The staff was okay .... I wish we were greeted to order though ! The beers were okay, some of their ipa house brews were weak but willing to try again on a better night
Excellent beers and atmosphere!
