Intermission Beer Company in Glen Allen, VA is a great local spot. I visited on a trivia night and was impressed by how welcoming everyone was. The staff and trivia group were friendly and even invited me to join their team. The taproom has a relaxed and creative vibe with plenty of board games and fun sci-fi and fantasy decor. It reminded me of the early Austin craft brewery scene with an authentic and laid back feel. Their merch also stood out. The shirts were unique and surprisingly affordable. If you enjoy shirts with dogs and beer then get one here! Overall this is a fun brewery with friendly people and a cool atmosphere. I would happily come back and recommend it to anyone in the area or just visiting for work like I was. read more

Just ok beer and customer service. I came here on a Sunday afternoon just after they opened. I was the only customer. I explained to the guy that I had never been there and didn't know much about their beer. He gave me very little help. I decided to get a 5 beer sampler of beers he said weren't too hoppy. I didn't really care for any of them and was a bit disappointed that he never checked in on me (remember, I was the only customer). He was focused on his laptop almost the entire time. This was pricier than other breweries and after my experience, this is not someplace I'd revisit. read more

Well, it's time to confess...my love for the flatbread at Intermission Brewery has reached an obsession. I only want this flatbread, and no other. I can't stop thinking about the peppers and onions! Hearty strips of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and sweet onions. On the most robust fire roasted tomato sauce I've ever had. Oh, the cheese was melted perfectly, and there was plenty of it. All on top of a crisp flatbread that was seriously just the right thickness. It paired beautifully with the chilled red blend I enjoyed with it. And my husband was thrilled with his flatbread as well. He ordered the Italian sausage variety, with a Potter's Petite Cider - chilled nicely, of course. From the moment we walked into Intermission Brewery, we were made to feel welcome by the bartender. He was also our server, and he was fast and friendly. I didn't catch his name, but he was joking with us, which we appreciated. As for parking, it was simple and straightforward. We parked right next to the entrance. There was a larger group of people at one table when we arrived. I know that Intermission holds meet-ups for groups, which is great. There was also a family with an elementary school age child. They were playing some sort of cards or board game. I thought it was wonderful that this establishment was family friendly. There's such a chill atmosphere, I think people just enjoy themselves here. My husband and I can't wait to go back! Intermission holds a "Date Night" special each and every Friday this summer. Be sure to check out their Facebook page. They keep it updated frequently with events and news. read more

Hello it's me. Beer & service review ONLY. Let me further say in support ... one cannot fairly say - oh 4 stars for a location that is situated in the middle of a random parking lot in comparison to one that's on "huge tracts of land" (who got that Monty python reference ) with amazing views, and try to do a side-by-side comparison? I judge it on its own merits bc it is where it is and that's that so it would be unfair to expect the impossible.. Onward: I came for two reasons. Returning from a distant location and it was on my travel path. As well, I was aware they had some reduced gluten offerings so this was a bonus in the beer world. The location is literally next to an automotive store. Wee bit challenging to locate. However, once you get in there, it's a nice space with bar seating and tables. There are board games for those who want to play, the service was attentive, and bartender is ready to explain what they have on tap. Unlike some of the offerings in Richmond, proper, it's not super heavy on the IPAs and, (perhaps an unpopular opinion on my part) not everybody wants every draft to be an IPA. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find a more varied beer selection. My only negative comment is going to make me sound like a grouch, but it can get loud (very) when folks bring little kids bc it's small. My overall opinion is that in this kinda beer "desert" this is a nice spot! read more

1 Star -- The Real Intermission Was My Wife's Taste Buds Dying Mid-Drink Ah, Intermission Brewery -- where the only thing flatter than the seltzer is the customer service. We stopped in for a casual drink, and my wife ordered their seltzer, which I can only describe as a tragic mix between carbonated regret and sink water that gave up on its dreams. It was so flat, we thought maybe it had traveled here from 2020. Naturally, we asked if she could swap it out for something drinkable -- like the cider. Instead of a simple switch, we were told we'd need to pay full price for a new drink. Apparently, in their world, sipping a disappointment still counts as a transaction. I guess the intermission theme is fitting -- because that seltzer was an intermission from joy. Come for the vibes, stay for the confusion, and leave with a full tab and half your dignity. Bravo! read more

We stopped in here on a Friday afternoon before going to an appointment. It is a little hard to get to but there is parking along with some indoor and outdoor seating. There was a decent selection of beers. We did a flight. I liked the red amber beer the best. Definitely worth stopping in for a drink. read more

Cozy and inviting atmosphere, tasty munchies, delicious home brews! Plus a friendly staff and fun activities.

Intermission is one of my absolute favorite places! They have amazing beer and great food! The owners are fantastic and so welcoming! This is my cheers! read more

The beer and flat bread is great. Not something paper thin pie........... Hard to spot but worth the hunt read more

Decent selection of beers but was just bummed how much the charge for less than a pint of beer. It's crazy all these breweries hit the consumer so hard. I realize it probably costs a fortune to keep those doors open. I will say over the weekend the kids were able to play in the field out back while the parents got to enjoy so me cold beverages. The inside of the brewery did a nice job separating the tables and the staff did wear masks. I also stop for a least one beer when I find a local brewery. You should too! read more

Service and ambiance were great! Tried a flight, really liked the Pocahoptus. Very nice!

I've lived down the street for over a year and hadn't been here until a few weeks ago...I've since been back two other times. Super friendly staff who told me all about their product and members club. I have yet to join but I am strongly considering it! The outside space is large and is dog friendly. Brought my dog last week! I tried their raspberry seltzer's, SUPER flavorful, but my go-to is the Tropic Thunder (ipa) I believe that's what it's called ! read more

Nice atmosphere very quite in fact but I am not sure if that is always how it is or if it was because of the painting class going on at the end of the building. Parking is a little limited and it's next to a Goodyear so it's kind of hard to find but the have signs pointing the way. They have a nice beer selection and a very limited food menu with a few personal pizza choices and pretzels available. We tried the pretzels with beer cheese and it was good. Staff was very friendly. read more

It is nice that the brewery scene is expanding out in to this area. Makes it easier for people living in Glen Allen/Ashland to enjoy a craft beer at a brewery without having to go downtown. The atmosphere was not like that of the other breweries around Richmond, but was still a good one. It was not crowded when I went so service was quick and the beer was tasty. They had a variety of options. read more

My husband and I made it a point to find this new to us brewery last Sunday. It is hidden behind the good year tire store but fairly easy to find. We tried a flight in order to sample several of the beers that they offer and sadly we were underwhelmed. They were all ok beers but not one stood out which we found unfortunate. Of course everyone has their own tastes when it comes to beer but I think they need to pick up their game a bit and offer something more original. The environment was pleasant enough and we appreciated that the chairs had backs which was more comfortable than some breweries offer. read more

This is my All Time favorite Brewery that I have ever tried! This is the biggest stamp of approval I have by far given any business I have patroned. Primarily when this Queen is accommodated and treated accordingly that alone earns the business 50 snaps and 20 circles, but when you're consistent you deserve more kudos than the rest! Secondly, I'm not into alcoholic beverages, and usually not into beer, however if I drink a beer Guinness stout it is hands down. Intermission created this Milk Stout that since I have tried it, I don't drink anything but it when I'm in the mood for a dark beer. They have currently created these beer slushies that are killer, they got me hooked. Everyone of drinking age must check them out! My biggest fear is they get as popular and inundated as the crowded breweries and lose the allure that captured my adoration. I also love their sense of community and collaborative efforts with other small businesses. They have a picnic area plenty of parking, convenient to all and you can bring your own food, what more can you ask for? This lovely couple who own and operate the establishment are exceptionally kind and accepting! La Doña approves of this message and highly recommends Intermission! read more

I wouldn't go there again if my life depended on it. The bartenders are horrible and the beer isn't good.

Love going to Intermission Beer Company for a little intermission from the hustle and bustle of life so to speak. Conveniently located in Glen Allen they had a great spot that has indoor and outdoor areas to hangout and enjoy one of their great brews!! Go see Courtney and crew!! read more

I visited this brewery for the first time as part of a get together with friends. The room is very open but more like a very simple room with several tables and standard chairs. The lighting is very bright though, more like a burger restaurant than a brewery. There are no sofas or big chairs. Some decorations on the walls and a large flat screen tv. I opted for their cream ale, which was good. The prices were on par with other breweries I've been to. read more

I've been passing this Brewery for quite some time and finally got the chance to stop in for a cold one or two. It's situated near Virginia Commons Mall and very easy to access with plenty of parking. I went inside and was greeted immediately. I'm the person who takes forever to decide what beer I want so the person helping me suggested flights. That's a perfect choice for someone like me lol. I ordered a flight of 5--Centaur Bard DIPA, Tropical Thunder IPA, Strawberry Blonde, Stiftung, and Honey Hibiscus Saison. I started a tab, grabbed my flight and seated myself. They happened to be having an old time jam session while I was there. It was so cute! I chugged my flights because they were delicious! They were so good that I ordered another round lol. They have WiFi here which is an added plus. I'm a total beer snob so I'll definitely be back. read more

Another stop on our way down to Richmond from DC, great vibe on the inside with a Stitch and Bitch group as well as a raffle going on! They had a food truck out front which seems to be a semi-regular occurrence. We tried the Tight Pantaloons, Honey Hibiscus Saison, Ghost Light Lager, Levy-Goz-Ah, Vienna Cream, Abbey Ale, Artoberfest, and All Hallows Ale - delightful! read more

Pretty solid spot, kind of hidden in the back next to a tire store but that adds to the fun of it. Had their version of an Octoberfest, was pretty good, staff was nice - was kind of dead when I went but the spot was cool. I'd go back for sure. read more

We stopped by here after a movie and felt like we were intruding upon a conversation that the bartender was having with another guest We placed our order and considering this is a relatively new place, would ha e expected to hear a bit more about the place (I.e. we saw they have a beer club based upon a flyer at the table) The beer was mediocre at best (and we've had a LOT of microbrews) Out "settleup" experience was the same - felt that we were intruding This place is not easily accessible or recognizable from Rt 1, so without some improvements in advertising and service, I'd be surprised if it's around for my longer read more

"Seaward", their newest offering was great. Fun family vibe. Will return! .................

Don't waste your time at this place. Below average overpriced beer, frozen pizza, and rude owners. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. I even heard the brewer calling a customer a fukking azzhole. read more

Kind of hidden, but worth stopping by. Decent selection of beer that tastes great. Will be back again.

We just held our daughters first birthday party here with over 50 of our good friends and family members. They were very accommodating, allowed us to decorate the space and even put on her favorite movie! Everyone had a great time and they have a very family friendly space including games! They allowed us to bring in our own food and have a fantastic beer selection, my favorite is the saison and my husband goes for the IPA. We highly recommend this brewery for your next event, or when you're out with the family or friends (it's right by a movie theatre and some restaurants). We will definitely be back! read more

Nice quiet place. Beers were ok. Just not a lot to choose from Really laid back. Just seemed the atmosphere was kind of dry. A great place if you're looking for a place to have a drink and leave. read more

Intermission has done a much better job than most breweries at making BEER rather than over hop EVERTHING and calling it craft. What else do you need to know?... GO THERE! read more

They have a good rotation of solid beers and a cool atmosphere. The owners are chill and helpful as well. We've been there 5ish times and have been happy for each. Will definitely be back. read more
