10 Best Craft Breweries near Winston Salem

“I can be a very critical person when it comes to beer and service, but LK hits it out the park every single time. Not only do they care so much about the way they produce, age, and bottle their precious product but they also go to great lengths to be sure it’s served exactly as they want for a top notch customer experience. Every time I step into the brewery, I’m immediately happy to just be in a place that exudes greatness in every aspect. But what really sets this place apart from some of the best breweries is how kind and genuine the owners and employees are. I always feel appreciated and loved when I manage to stop by and they show a lot of gratitude as well which to me is what life is all about—human connection. Thanks for everything, LK.“

“the bartenders are always nice to me when i come in… super quick service.. i have never had a bad experience here!!“

“My friends and I went for trivia. It was a lot of fun and the beer was really good! The owner came by our table and he was a really nice guy. He let me try their IPA which was actually good! I'd also recommend their sour. We'll definitely be back.“

“Great bartenders, and their recommendations are spot on. Highly recommended!“

“I really enjoy this brewery. They have plenty of seating inside and although there is no kitchen they make it really easy to order from the restaurant next door. My only complaint is due to the location there isn’t a lot of outdoor space.“

“Great place to chill & relax!“

“Great live music venue in Winston Salem. Huge selection of craft beers.“

“Small batch is hands down the best place in Winston-Salem to get a burger and a craft beer.

I’ve lived in Winston for 2+ years, unfortunately, I’ve only known about them for little over a year. They are the most consistent brewery in town, they don’t usually have sours on the menu, but they do offer a Gose, a Ginger Seltzer, blackberry blonde, as well as a house made cocktail menu.

The bartending staff is exceptional! They are knowledgeable about their food and tap offerings and are able to suggest pairings and other combinations you may not have thought of yourself.

10/10 recommend trying small batch at least once, if not 1000 times after that.

Soccer games across the globe are streamed often and usually available on request, along with College FB on saturdays; so the environment is very welcoming for international sports fans throughout the year.

Tuesday is pint night where you get a pint glass per 2 pints drank per person, Wednesday is trivia, Thursday half price pours ($3 16oz craft beers) and my favorite by far is Friday Karaoke!

Also: Met Rick Flair here. It was cool lol. That said, sometimes they can busy if there are conventions in town since they are close to the convention center, but even with a wait they’re always worth it!“

“We love eating here. The food is always so good and great atmosphere and music. Our waitress Angie is extremely accommodating and kind. I highly recommend eating here whenever you get the chance!“

“We had such a great time at The Brewer’s Kettle! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. One of the staff members gave us a quick tour of their impressive beer selection — everything from Märzens and IPAs to ciders, sours, and even meads. It was clear they really know their stuff and care about offering something for everyone.
In addition to the beer, they had a surprisingly wide range of wines available — both for purchase and to enjoy at the bar. The space itself is cozy and versatile, with seating at the bar, around tables, and even some comfy couches if you want to relax.
Prices were reasonable for the area, and we had no trouble finding parking, which is always a plus. We’re so glad we stumbled upon this place — it truly feels like a hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back!“
