Redbeard Brewing Company

Reviews

I absolutely loved this place! Great selection of original hand crafted brews. You absolutely must have a flight (or share a couple of flights among friends) to experience the variety they have. The barkeep was friendly and knowledgeable. The warehouse space had a lot of ambiance with hand painted murals on the walls. My favorites from this visit oct 2025: Bowman Nutella S'mores 10% Imperial stout aged six months in bourbon barrels Graham cracker forward (hazelnut & pralines with toasted marshmallow). Bourbon mid pallet. Finish is soft cocoa that ends with a nice high gravity bite. Blue Ridge Breakfast stout 6.5% Milk stout aged on local breakfast blend coffee beans. Aged 10 months on roasted coffee beans. Pronounced coffee nose Soft lactose forward, beautiful smooth coffee mid pallet, no bite finish. Stargazer black IPA with toasted rye 7.8% Rye nose Forward Dark and rich toasted rye flavor Just a hint of bite at the finish. Saison 5% Belgian golden ale lightly spiced with ginger, grains of paradise and citrus peel. Ginger nose. Soft citrus peel forward. Grains of paradise mid palate and soft finish. I love the area, the history and the museums, but I’ll return just to visit Redbeard Brewing. Loved every single brew I tried. The brew meister(s) are true artisans.

We were guided to check this place out by a local. She thought they would have something gluten free for me and that they allowed dogs inside. They don't allow dogs inside, for the record. Dogs are allowed outside in the beer garden, which would be fine if it weren't raining. As for gluten free, they make an in house Lemonade Seltzer, but it was definitely much too sweet for my taste. My husband tried one of their IPA's and said it was okay, but morning he would try again. On the upside, the bartender was great, very friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was nice. Overall, we're glad that we stopped in to give them a try but wouldn't go back again, even if we lived in the area.
