We were in town on our vacation and this place caught my eye. I love trying new beers and for a craft beer addict, this place is a fever dream. They have an incredible selection with the only limitation to bring you back to earth being the balance of your bank account. Drink responsibly, and shop responsibly. Your liver and wallet will thank you. But really, this place is awesome.

Great bar and beer cellar. They have everything you need to make your own beer as well. They have an extensive selection of craft beers also.

I went in with my husband, this was our first time visiting this store. They offer a unique variety of ales, spritzers and other beverages. The owner, manager was pleasant when we checked out and I like that they put your beverages in a stout box - good way to recycle/reuse them. Overall, I think its a nice store and I would visit again. Its definitely worth going to check them out if youre into IPAs and other unique beers.

The number of selections is mind boggling! I even found some new Belgium ales to try along with the hard to get main stays. If you love craft beers from around the world this place is a must stop!

Cool little place to find unique beers & wines! Love that you can drink inside, but only room for a SMALL handful of people. The bartender was super friendly & there were the coolest photos on the bathroom wall!

This is an amazing beer/cider/wine/hard kombucha shop! Huge variety to choose from and reasonable prices, and their selection is always changing. To make things better, they even have beer on tap that you can try, or have a pint of while you shop!

Came in and was ignored for 5 min as I waited to ask a question about their beer. The lady that worked there gave all of her attention to 3 younger men. I walked out.

A touchy spendy, but great craft beers served by nearly smiling, almost handsome, borderline courteous staff.

I’ve been in a few times now. Every time I walk in to look around and get no “hello” or any sign of my existence nor asked if I have any questions or need any help. But the beer selection is decent, albeit a bit pricey.

Went for their grand opening and the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about everything beer! Hung out longer than I planned for. I will be back there soon to see what kind of food they offer. Cant believe there hasnt been a spot like this in the wards road area yet!

Awesome selection of beers. Food is good and reasonably priced. Beers on tap are awesome, careful they are a little stronger! Owner is also a great guy and a pleasure to chat with. Will be going back again soon!

After perusing the aisles of many local supermarkets, I was relieved when I crossed the threshold of this establishment. The gentlemen behind the counter was extremely welcoming and knowledgable, and their beer selection remains to be challenged in this area. I havent sat down at the tables for drinks yet, but that was just because I didnt know you could! Looking forward to trying what they have on tap. All of that, plus a convenient location, lands this five starts in my book.

Impressive selection with slightly high pricing, but it is justified due to availability. Only low note is that the bearded employee was a bit short with me in one of my last visits.

Stopped in initially to grab an off-the-beaten path beer selection for an upcoming gathering. We now drive from Roanoke JUST for this store! In case youre hungry, they serve LUNCH! My daughter enjoys the cheese plates. Im more of a Grams Pimiento Cheese girl. It really is the mother in laws recipe of one of the beer geeks!- Staff is great, matches beer to pallets well;- Lunch was fresh; somewhere you could bring your parents on a Liberty Univ Campus visit;- Very reasonably priced;- They stock things that you cant get at Kroger, and even offer special orders!Go. Enjoy a pint, have lunch and catch up. Youll be glad you did.

The location is a smaller space but utilizes is shelving in order to pack in many types of craft beers. They have food to order and beer on tap as well. Im initially giving them three stars solely on two separate times Ive requested recommendations from the staff,and those two recommendations have fallen flat. The latest one is the more disappointing of the two. I asked a relative to pick up a hard cider based on their recommendation, and I didnt want anything based on an ipa (bold rock, a local brewery, does this such thing). Upon him asking for their choice, the guy halfway laughed and gave him a grapefruit hibiscus cider, it was undeniably awful. Two sips and it was poured out. Maybe go a little less fancy on the suggestions next time. My rating can be improved on the next try, we will see how the next suggestion pans out.

The beer selection here cannot be beat. They have everything from your imperial stout to your gose, from cider to meade. Not only that, they have Toronto to Belgium, and Oregon to Florida, with Indianapolis in between. Seriously, if you want to get to know craft beer from anywhere, this is the place. They even have taps, with periodic steal the pint nights. Did I mention the staff are amazingly knowledgeable? Tell them what you like, or what youre looking to try, and theyll set you up. Just dont expect the adventure to be inexpensive. Trust me, its worth it.

I am a mead drinker. Normally I have my own mead I ferment ready to drink for get together at my home. This time I did not have any ready to drink meads/cyser for this last get together. A buddy of mine suggested I get a bottle of Vikings Blod for the evening. I did NOT want to drive all the way to Richmond to get it so he suggested I go here. They had it!! They saved the dinner party......plus the mead tasted amazing. I will be returning....
