Beer was just ok. Taco food truck outside was good. Atmosphere was fine. Liked it, but don’t know that I’d make a return trip. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Decent sized parking lot

We stopped in for a quick drink. Hubby had been wanting to try it so he had a few beers. I didn't feel like drinking, so I got the boo beer. Such a cute name, but it's root beer with honey. It was yummy. It had its own place in the tap and came in a tall glass just like the beer so nobody could even tell it's not beer. The inside was nice and open and had a bunch of games to play with. I found a baby boomer trivial pursuit so we played with that for a few min. We didn't know many of the answers. The place is dog friendly as there was a doggy inside. I sat on the floor and played with the dog for a while too. They even have a little play area for kids on the side. We really liked this place and will definitely come back if we're in the area.

We got the white oak ipa and hooray for LurayI did not like either but my father in law liked itThe place was packed we did not try the foodThe other IPA on tap was sold out of the cans so maybe we ordered wrong

After relocating from the Reston/Herndon, VA, area, where I had access to about 8 great breweries, it's a bit of a shock to move to a town with only one craft brewery---but Hawksbill Brewing helps fill the gap. It's the only place in town where you can camp out for hours to watch a game and not feel pressured to order food. There is no working kitchen here but a food truck offering Mexican fare is typically here Monday through Saturday (not on Sunday though). The beer is great - something for nearly everyone, from porters and stouts to IPAs to ales. Missing Sours and Goses* so if you're a fan of those styles you may have to try something else. They also have a N/A root beer for the DD in your group. The ladies behind the bar (there may be a male server too but I have not encountered one) are small town friendly and will happily recommend restaurants where you can pick up food, or hidden gems in town for the tourists. *It is possible they have Sours and Goses during the year as their beer menu changes often. But their mainstays appear to be their brown ale, cream ale, at least one IPA, a porter, and a stout. The Christmas Mouse is a very high ABV (over 10%) but it is delicious.

We stopped in on our visit to Luray (we were staying about 20 minutes away for our anniversary) as we like beer and our AirBnB host recommended the Brewery. Everyone was very nice and helpful with our questions. We ended up taking one of their christmas beers-- the Christmas Mouse--to go in a 4 pack but prior we each tried a flight. The coffee stout, the other Stout on tap, the aformentioned Christmas Mouse and the Christmas Saison for her and the IPA, "too dark for stars" porter, Kolsch and Brown Ale for me. We really enjoyed them all and the other standouts inlcuded the Kolsch, brown ale and the Stouts. I liked the porter too. We'll be back if we ever swing back into Luray, even to just pick up cans.

A little local Brewery, nice service and beers. Only disappointment is the bar stools, they came right from jr high in size.

Great brew pub, Jim T was a wonderful host for our reunion!

I have tried this place at least five times in the 14 months I've lived in the area, and although the staff is pretty cool, and the atmosphere is chill... the most important part of the brewery, I.e. THE BEER, is consistently underwhelming (and that's being generous). By far the best beer I've had here was a black lager, which I would, again generously, give it a 7/10. most of their beers I'd rate below 5's. Seeing as it's the only brewery in the entire area, I hope they stay in business for the sake of having a meet up spot, but they really need to step up their game. if you're just visiting, take the drive down to Elkton brewery, it is objectively and vastly superior.

Nice local brewery and friendly bartender. I had a flight and really enjoyed the Belgian. Only 5. abv and not overly sweet, very smooth. The coffee porter was also good.
Nice local place. Dog friendly! TV for watching football. Good beer and nice bartender.

Great beer, friendly staff, nice outdoor patio area.

Tasty beer selection and friendly staff. What a nice neighborhood spot! 7 Days a Wheat Watermelon and Red Ale were our favs. Fun outside hang out when the taco truck is there with music
