Chill spot. Spacious, yet cozy. Friendly bartenders and chatty locals. Got a quick flight about 90 mins before closing and greatly enjoyed every beer I had. Had a smoked beer that was especially interesting and tasty

I've been coming to Decipher since it opened and still think of it as a gem of our neighborhood. They have consistently excellent beer and are not afraid to try new things and have a wide variety available at any given time. I've been impressed by their community engagement: from regularly advertised beer releases and amazing food trucks to hosting a market space for Pride month and keeping up a "buy a beer" chalkboard for community members. It's a welcoming and cozy place to try some of the best beer Charlottesville has to offer.

Top notch place. Excellent beers. The decor, is at best utilitarian But nobody is going there for the decor. They also frequently have improv groups and other live music. There are also fire pits outside and outside seating.

One of the best brewery in charlosteville. I am a big fan of wheat beer. They have something called summer at the dreamhouse wheat beer absolutely amazing. Also, they have the Hefewezin. You can't go wrong with that.

Cool little brewery with a great selection of dark beers. Pictures is the 2021 Karabash Russian Imperial Stout. This beer was hearty, deep, yet properly flavor. The barrel aged version was just as good.Among other great beers was their Maximal Smoke Inhalation, a smoked bock beer. I will definitely be coming back with friends!

A place where I learn to love new beers and savor my favorites with friends, family, and the community. Thank for being here guys! Cville loves y'all <3.

Nice little place tucked away back in an industrial area. The beer was really good and they are friendly to veterans, which I liked. I would visit again. I wish they had food though.

Remarkable brewery with an unparalleled selection of barrel-aged brews. 10/10 from a dark beer fan. Couldn’t rate more highly. Best brewery in the piedmont!

Every beer we tried was really good and the atmosphere was ok. The crowd there on a Friday night was a little obnoxious and there was a wait to be served even at the bar.

Decipher is awesome! Bartenders Mike and Ila are the best in town, and every beer at Decipher is an excellent example of that style. Plus, the owners are all veterans, and the place has a very in-service-to-others vibe. Come check it out, if you haven’t already. You won’t be disappointed!

Decipher is a staple for us! Their beers are great and it's such a laid back vibe. We've been here on evenings after work and busy weekends, but have never had trouble finding a seat or getting beer quickly.

The atmosphere is very welcoming - friendly staff and plenty of different home brewed beers to choose from made right there on the property - military atmosphere ran and owned by military Vets. Eat before you go because there is no food or snack menus - carefree, down home ambiance - next time I’m back in the Charlottesville area I would definitely like to go back

Looking for a military, kid, and dog friendly atmosphere while having some great beer?! Well, look no further than Decipher! If you live in Cville, it's right in your backyard and if you are visiting, it's worth the drive to the historic Woolen Mills district. They are located in a warehouse building with plenty of parking and a grassy area with Adirondack chairs in the back. Indoors has a long bar and plenty of tables. You'll find all the branches of service and veteran organizations flags hanging and fun music playing. We had the librarian, bourbon barrel scotch ale and bourbon barrel imperial stout. They were all amazing and the bourbon barrels pack a punch so they're only for the strong who can handle them! You can buy a beer for anyone anonymously including essential personal, veterans, military and first responders and it goes on the chalk board. They have board games too so be sure to make this your next neighborhood brewery stop!
