Great place to visit if you like “beer flavored beer”. Parking lot is across the street. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. They have hotdogs and chips for food. Try their beers that are poured from the tank.

Stopped by briefly for a quick beer with a friend. Great cozy space if you love beer. Great for catching up with friends or just to get a way for a moment. I only had one beer and it was really good. We sat in the back where they brew the beer and had a few seats and standing space in that area which was kind of cool. the servers were great and friendly and helpful with the menu and the beer selection.I would go back if i were in the mood for beer. Great spot and location.

Great beer!

Not only the best beer in Winston, but some of the best beer I’ve ever had. I worked in the beer industry for 6 years and have had thousands of brews. They’re dedicated to the craft and art of brewing, the way it should be done.

A unique experience that is difficult to find elsewhere in USA. Tank pours of two different Czech inspired beers during my visit that have a fullness in mouthfeel and richness in flavor that is unmatched. Employees are passionate and welcoming. There is a vegan hot dog on a toasted potato bun, sun chips and spicy mustard. Hot dogs only available when there is not a food pop-up. Talk to the staff and learn something new!

Is a place better named? One of the best breweries in the state is tucked away in old Salem doing its thing and awaiting your visit. Incredible German style beers in a tank? Yes. Incredible lagers on gas? Yes, that too. Fancy something to eat? Well, they have an amazing item for offer each day. Guest beers? Yes top end stuff. This should be the best known, but on second thought, maybe I should keep this to myself.

We drive an hour to Winston for Costco, sushi and the Keller beer at Lesser-Known. I tell everyone so Lesser may be the wrong name soon. Anyone that enjoys a lager must stop for a .5L Hands down my favorite brewery in Winston.

Decent beers but only a handful to offer. Thankfully there was only 1 IPA offered but a couple of nice lagers and a decent stout. Place is really clean and staff seems friendly. We will be back.

Very well done brewery list with a focus on unique brews
This place has a fantastic atmosphere with top notch beer. Zach was our bartender and he couldn’t have been happier to tell us the history and what makes their beer so great.

It was my first time visiting "Lesser Known Beer Company", as we are out of town and visiting. I thoroughly enjoyed savoring the beers there. We had come from another venue and this was so much more relaxing. Kudos to the staff and management.

Best pours in town, and the only brewery/taproom in town with an abundance of authentic Belgian style ales. If your beer taste doesn't lean toward fruity, over the top hoppy bitter or pucker up sour concoctions that so many breweries seem to offer, you will love Lesser Known's dedication to traditional Bavarian brews. We found a few bottled imports from Belgium that were amazing, too. Love this place !

As someone who has been to Germany a few times, the beer here is about as true to great beer as it gets. A perfect head, and great taste! My new favorite place

Met up here with some friends while in town for a few beers.Nice tasty beer. Interesting the way some of the beers are poured straight from the huge tank on the other side of the wall from the bar.Surprised they only had 4 draft beers.Only food option this day was the hot dog cart.
