We are giving it three stars one for each of the three beers they have. Great logo and location but we were surprised they only had three of their own beers. They do have some good local beers and I love the grab and go food they have. Watch out that honey habanero goat cheese is no joke, my mouth is still warm:) read more

Flytrap Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

See all

My second favorite brewery in Wilmington. They brew small batches so the selection changes very frequently, but I still haven't had anything that I do not like. read more

Simple, unassuming space. Great beer. Gourmet snacks. That pretty much sums it up. I'd consider myself to be a man who enjoys a good brew, but not a beer snob by any means. This place knows what they are doing, and that is brewing good beer. The stout is one of the best I've had in a while, and the blonde is really flavorful (and this gentleman typically does not prefer blondes). They can be busy on the weekends, but the folks behind the bar are friendly and attentive. If you want a good beer, go here. read more

TLDR: Great, local brewery that's a must for the craft beer fan in Wilmington. I was passing through Wilmington on the way to Kure Beach and I decided to stop by since I heard that Wilmington has a pretty good craft beer scene. North Carolina as a state is pretty amazing for craft beer and I've visited quite a few of the breweries in Asheville and Charlotte, and I think Flytrap can really hang with the best of them. I am not too familiar with Wilmington, but this place seems like it's just outside the busiest parts of downtown. We parked downtown and made the short walk here after checking out some other stuff downtown. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and I immediately really liked the space they got over here. The atmosphere is pretty chill here and seems like a great place to hang out - day or night. If you like trying beers at a new brewery and/or can't commit to just one beer, Flytrap does do flights. This will give your four sample sized pours of their beers. I ended up going with: - Hoppy Tripel - Petite Saison with cranberry - Belgian Dubbel - Rehder's Red Ale It might be a matter of personal preference, but I thought the Hoppy Tripel was good, but not great. Based on other reviews, it seems like most like it though. I really enjoyed the other three beers, however, especially the Belgian Dubbel. If you're a fan of Belgian beers, you're in luck. Anyway, I really like the craft beer scene in Wilmington and you need to visit this place if you haven't before. read more

Small beer selection, but all were very good! The Rye Pale was the favorite! Food truck and extra seating outside.

This was one of the stops of our bachelorette party brewery tour and it was the best stop. The bartender was super friendly and made it a fun experience. The beer is also so yummy read more

Cool atmosphere with delicious beer from the brewery. They rotate a lot of guest taps and feature a huge list of sour beers (if that's your cup of tea). If you're a fan of sour beers, definitely come by, if you're a fan of beer at all....still come by. It's a nice place "off the beaten path" where you want encounter long waits. Cheers read more

Flytrap Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating, live music, food truck, and great variety of beers.

We love Flytrap! Super chill environment with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Easily one of favorite spots in Wilmington. The Rehder's Red is always a popular choice for my friends. I see people saying they don't have IPAs at Flytrap which isn't true. I'm an IPA person and I can always find one on tap. read more

If you like great beer this place will not disappoint. You won't find IPAs here, but don't worry - the hoppy tripel is excellent, as is the saison and stout. They definitely know what they are doing when it comes to making great beer. They also offer a thoughtful list of bottles if you're in the mood for something different. The bar itself matches the quality of the beer - comfortable, clean, and inviting. Its clear they take pride in what they do here and I'm looking forward to visiting regularly. read more

Flytrap is the bomb! The Ale and Kolsch are, as of right now my favorite beers. I love the location, it does help that I can basically walk there from our house. So far everyone that we have had serve us has been on point and very passionate about what they do....so, the bottom line...go get some Flytrap! read more

The good folks on the NC Beer Reddit suggested that I try our Flytrap during my extremely short Wilmington visit and I am SO glad they did! My husband and I each got a flight so we can taste most of their offerings. I was particularly impressed with the Pecan Nut Brown Ale and the Sweet Potato Porter. What made the visit even more awesome was they were featuring an artist who makes cigar box guitars. My husband has made a couple himself, so it was great to see the work of others! This brewery is definitely a MUST VISIT for beer lovers! read more

Fantastic local brewery with lots of taps. They do not have food on site but do have a food truck every night. Awesome outdoor space too!

Flytrap Brewing is my favorite spot in Wilmington! The beer selection is excellent with a specialty craft for each taste preference. Currently, they are serving beer brewed outside of their facility but they will have their in-house brews available shortly! While Flytrap Brewing does not serve food, this aspect is a positive for dog owners. Flytrap Brewing allows friendly dogs INSIDE their establishment to enjoy the air conditioning while their owners enjoy a cold one! We will come to Flytrap Brewery after hours of exploring Downtown Wilmington to enjoy a few drinks and allow our pup time to cool down. With good drinks and a great attitudes towards Man's Best Friend, Flytrap Brewing has made our family frequently returning guests! read more

More of a run and gun type place. Not so much chilling. Limited seating. Nice beer selection and they have a food truck that comes by. read more

Flytrap Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I recommend trying this place if you're ever in Wilmington. They have numerous brews that you're not going to find anywhere else. All are good and the quality is excellent. They've got a nice outdoor area and the tasting room is very nice. They keep a steady flow of food trucks and I'm about to listen to the band so cheers. read more

Definitely one of the top local breweries! Always a good selection. The blonde is my go to but they always have new beers on tap and I love their dark beers too. read more

Really nice place with cool bartender and delicious Belgian beers. Free shuffleboard bowling and great recommendations for food and other breweries. Only bummer was that we were there on a Sunday morning and they only had two of their own beers left on tap after a busy weekend. Dubbel was memorably delicious read more

Great beers and super friendly staff. We went for a flight and brought the kids, they had fun playing the bowling game. They have snacks available for purchase from the Veggie Wagon, which hit the spot. read more

Family owned small brewery. Great Belgian style ales and atmosphere is terrific! Food trucks on the weekend make it a don't miss

Really enjoyed stopping by Flytrap. Good Beers, nice staff and patrons, great outdoors space in the heart of Wilmington.

Wonderful addition to the craft brew scene in Wilmington. Beautiful bar, easy sitting inside and out. Friendly bartenders, great art hung on the walls. Then the beer! Oh yes, the beer! It's nice that there is a place that is taking local sours brewing seriously and in more than one flavor. So happy to be able to go in and order a flight of good cold quality beer! read more

Fun and party friendly atmosphere. The service was good and I really enjoyed the selection. Of the beers I tried I liked the Rehder Red and the Stout the best. read more

This is by far the best little brewery I've visited in the Wilmington area. Great atmosphere friendly staff. All the house brews are excellent and my favorite is the Belgium blonde. Thank you Flytrap for giving us the best of what Wilmington nc has to offer. Keep up the goid work. read more

Great beer and helpful staff. Good variety of original and guest beers. Highly recommended.

If you're visiting Wilmington and miss a stop in, you're missing out! Love this place! Unfortunately we were moving shortly after they opened but, we made sure to come by and sample as much as possible. Great owners who are so immensely talented in their craft. Supporters of the local art movement (yay!) and fab brews! Plenty of seating to invite your friends with a neighborhood feel! Perfect end to any work day or stroll on Front Street, take a break and a slight detour...they'll help you pick a perfect beer! read more

A gem of a spot. I've only been here a couple of times. But each visit was with a large group and they took really great care of all of us, no problems. Their beer is great, atmosphere is really laid back and fun. The art installations are cool (the last one I saw was the Arrested Development one) and OH YEAH....they've got shuffleboard bowling. read more

This place is rad because of the following No one who works here is lame It has an industrial brewery feel It is clean as shit The beer is not sucky. That is all you need to know. Well also, the owner and her family have started a lineage of bad ass beer making. So also try wilmington home brew on kerr. Get some. read more

Best IPA I have tasted, better than any on tap at Burial Beer Co. in Asheville, which is on the "Top Ten List" to visit in Asheville. I was blown away by their latest Rotating IPA made with Vic Secret and Mosiac hops. This formula deserves to be made permanent and the beer named. Took two growlers home and will be back for more before they rotate to a new formula. This one is special! read more

Great brewery and friendly staff. I had the pumpkin spice latte brew so delicious! This is a nice place bring some friends and play boarding games. read more

Great beer selection and very clean. Little small but I guess it's a good thing that they are out growing their space...speaks to the quality of their beer and service. read more

This place has a great environment and employees. The beers brewed in house leave something to be desired but the guest beers on tap are always on point. This is a brand new brewery so it will have its growing pains. I hope to see the in house beer variety grow and the quality to compete with the outside brews they have on tap. That being said, my girlfriend is obsessed with this place so I will continue to find myself here. read more

Cool place. Beer is unique and fresh. Unique meaning flavor combinations were a first for me (Salted Caramel Porter, Smoked Oyster Stout). Fresh meaning they cracked open a new flavor while we were sitting there. Crowd is friendly and the bartenders were super helpful/nice. read more

I love their beer. Very cool atmosphere and so many great bands play there. They have a food truck that comes certain nights of the week and the bartenders are helpful and friendly. I love their Ryder Red beer. read more

Not impressed. Second time coming to this place and they still have hardly any of their own beers on tap. Three to be exact. Last October they had four. Hoppy Tripel is fairly good though not nearly hoppy enough to give credit to the name. Also tried a very ordinary saison. Decent atmosphere but a little too trendy for me. Was excited to come back after reading all the good reviews. Probably won't waste the trip whenever I make it back to Wilmington. One would expect more original beers when going to a brewery..... read more

The beer is awesome and they have a lot of fun board games, but if you have too much fun they'll tell you to shut up and passively aggressively want get you to leave. read more

The space is beautiful- a very cool industrial vibe with a huge bar and stainless tap tower from which the delicious Flytrap nectar flows. Mike is putting out both great American and Belgian style beers and I would certainly recommend a flight for your first visit. The stout is a personal fav but you can't go wrong with any of these beers! The staff is great and they have a very solid lineup of snacks from the Veggie wagon (salsas, hummus, cheeses, etc). Stop reading this and go get you some! read more

The place is very quaint and not hipster at all. It's a plus anytime the Avett Brothers & Old Crow Medicine Show is your background music. The stout is a must have. The four flagship beers are the Rehders Res Ale, Hoppy Tripel, Stout, & Saison. I'd start with a flight and then grab your favorite. This is as quality beer as you can get in Raliegh, Charlotte, or Asheville. North Carolina beer is well and good on Wilmington. read more

Flytrap Brewing - Great beer - Breweries Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Stunning, old world red ale. Very crammed and noisy with little room outside even; a Wednesday eve. Drink fast and head on.

Outstanding. Exceptional selection of carefully crafted beers. Tried the Blueberry Dubbel and the Stout today. Nothing short of wonderful. Really impressed by the variety of beers and even moreso by Mike, the owner and brewmaster. Dude loves this. Beer is his passion and it shows. Only wish I had found this place sooner. read more
