Nice space, good beer and live music.

Be ready for country music when you get there.The business is veteran is owned and proudly displays its affinity for the military, law enforcement and first responders. Put the business name into Google maps and it will take you right to the place, even though you seem to be driving into warehouse heaven. Plenty of places to sit, just not at the counter.

Really cool spot. Went for the first time recently and looking forward to visiting again. Beers were great and not only was the staff awesome, but the patrons were as well. We met so many cool, friendly people hanging out here.

Outstanding little Brewery. Great beers, friendly people and great live music on Thursday nights. Bring your own food and drink some great brews. The "black IPA" was perfect, and I would recommend this place for sure. If Butch Ralph is playing his guitar when you are there, buy him a beer. He's a very talented singer / songwriter / musician.

Good beer, great live entertainment, & always a plus when veteran owned.

My wife and I LOVED our visit to this brewery and the way that the brewery is dedicated to all of our heroes of the military, law enforcement, and first responders. Great tasting beer, and VERY positive atmosphere with VERY friendly and helpful bartenders... if you are searching for all of these things in a small craft brewery...you have found a home here!

I stopped by here earlier tonight with my wife for some evening drinks. Backwards Flag Brewing is located down an industrial park road which had my wife and I questioning if we were in the right place. We clearly were and soon enough we saw a brewery with lots of people inside. Apparently we had happened upon a open mic night with lots of musicians bringing their instruments and playing and singing. As you might imagine some were good and some were not. The brewery itself has a very industrial feel to it with beat up concrete floors, exposed beams and a very high ceiling. We ended up entering through raised garage doors. The decor is dedicated to the military as well as first responders which was cool to see.As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I went with a flight here. At Backwards Flag brewing a flight consists of 4 beers and I chose the Fuzzy IPA, Historic Rivalry IPA, MilspecBlack IPA and the zero dark thirsty milk stout. First up for me was the Fuzzy IPA which was smooth at the start with a bit of hops at the finish which lingered on for awhile. Second was the Historic rivalry IPA which was darker in color than the earlier ipa. It had a bit of sweetness in the middle before finishing with a bit of bitterness. If the menu hadn't described it as an ipa, I don't think that it would have been my first guess. Third was the Milspec black IPA which started off with the smoky richness of those dark roasted malts before finishing with a true hop flavor letting you know that it is an ipa. Last but certainly not least was the Zero dark thirsty milk stout. There was some of the flavor of the dark roasted malts right out of the gate before the lactose comes in and sweetens up the drink. That bitterness to sweet was actually quite addictive. Out of the bunch I think that the zero dark thirsty was my favorite followed closely by the milspec.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed the beer, the concept as well as the entertainment.

Hard to say... that atmosphere brings you to some old times... with all that military decals. Next time I definitely gonna stop near by!

Best brewery in the area. Good beer and a good vibe. The brewery has a good deal on flights which comes with a extra beer and a backwards flag beer glass. They also have police and military discounts

I've been here in the past without issue... But today was a terrible experience. The bartender was rude, used inappropriate language to greet, and confrontational. Definitely not worth a stop. Plenty of other breweries around that won't treat you as poorly.

Outstanding. A great atmosphere full of America's finest. Great beer. Not being a Vet I felt honored to be in that company. Thanks to all who serve both country and community.
