Small brewery with a couple of good ciders options, gets very crowded and loud for such a small venue. -1 star for not having water, pop, or other non-alcohol options, but at least there's a Mexican place next door with those options and the Back Bay folks don't mind if you bring in outside food/drink.

LOVED this place! Personally I'm a huge fan of ciders, and their cider options were fantastic. Mango pomegranate sour was great too. Cute little hole-in-the-wall spot that you don't want to miss. There's comfy sofas, foozeball table, Jenga, and live music. I didn't get the bartenders name but he was WONDERFUL! Doggos are welcome too!

Honestly the worst beer I’ve ever had ??‍♂️

Came here for Wednesday trivia. There were only about 5 big tables, but we found a space at the bar to accommodate our group of 6. Drinks were good - they had some unique ciders and seltzers. Overall we had a good time. Note, they do not have food but you are allowed to bring in pizza or tacos from the adjoining restaurants.

Kids, dogs, AC on, great beer, cushy couches . What else does one need? Oh yeah, hunky beertender helps too. Food can be had next door.

An excellent small local brewery with great offerings. Definitely punching above their weight, 12/10, will drink beer from here again.

First time @ Virginia Beach and this place was the highlight of our vacation. I initially thought it was a restaurant but they don't have food. The super friendly bar tender told us to grab food from the local eateries (and told us what was where) and to come back! We grabbed awesome Mexican from the place next door and pizza from the place in the back and came back to enjoy the brews while we ate. The orange crush cider and berry seltzer were amazing! We LOOOOOVED the playlist and we all had fun playing the games. Thanks for being such a cool place! *Pet friendly ?

Third Brewery that I visited while on family business to Virginia Beach, I have been brewing in Texas for over ten years. I like the farmhouse setting. Very comfy and friendly. Quiet and not busy. But it was early in the evening. Beer was good. Staff was friendly. Cheers, Mike Hutto, Tx

Great place for some craft brews - new 'The Palm' Gose was refreshing & delicious!

My boyfriend and I very rarely have a weekend off together. This last Saturday was our first day off together in 6+ months. We decided to visit this brewery for the first time because we love checking out new places and read great reviews online. We drove 45 minutes from Chesapeake early Saturday afternoon. Upon entering the brewery, we found 2 seats at the bar near the back. The bartender did not greet us, which I did not think twice because it was busy and he was alone. After waiting about 10 minutes we were finally waited on. After seeing pictures on Instagram that flights were offered, we tried to order two flights. We were told by the bartender that they don’t do flights and can order only 2 small pours at a time. We ended up ordering a cider and an IPA instead. The bartender seemed very overwhelmed and acted like we were bothering him by being there. It is really unfortunate because we did want to stay for a while and even were ready to purchase merchandise. The cider and IPA were delicious but honestly the whole experience and lack of hospitality make us never want to return.
