    Port City Peach
    Claire W.

    Friendly attentive service. We were a group of seven on a quiet Friday afternoon. They offered us water as we pulled two tables together. I loved the Port City Peach. It's light and refreshing, perfect after a heavy sweet brunch (pancakes and syrup). They have flights of five choices. I think the Azalea Smoked Plum would pair so well with fall soups.

    I have walked past this brewery several times but never went in, until now. It's a good place to try some locally brewed beer. I would recommend. They have a lot of beers on tap. Something for everyone, with the exception of dark beer lovers. Now this said, I'm sure they brew different beers all the time. They just didn't have dark when I was there. There beer itself is good. The building, in and outside, is great. No outside seating, but the inside seating can fit a lot of people. There is also a second story, which to my understanding is used for special events. Overall, recommend. Just an FYI, at the time of this review, there is no food here.

    This was a GREAT find off the Wilmington Ale Trail! Nice ambiance & even better beer! Uh... Service? Check that box too. BTW, Danyel is a marvel. Talk to her about your EVENTS, too!

    Vital Statistics: Location 5 Stars Beer 4 Stars People/Service 4 Stars Hours....There's the rub. Ironclad seems popular for events, and that's great. Unfortunately, in three trips to Wilmington, I've found them closed for private events more than open for possible customers. I finally found them open on this trip, and I was able to try their beer for the first time. They have a wide variety of beer, and many of them were good, including the Pablo Escobier, guapa guava, and Zola Chai Brown. If you can find Ironclad open, be sure to drop in. It's in a wonderful spot and the people are great.

    We went to several breweries this day and this place has my favorite beer, but my least favorite feel. There was no live music and not many people there. They can't help that they don't have outdoor seating, and what they done to this place is wonderful. This will have to be our winter or rainy day brewery.

    Great beer! Very pretty space. In an old building that has been fixed up and redone nicely. Would love to see a private event here.

    We just had our wedding at Ironclad and I could not say enough good things about this venue!! The space is absolutely beautiful. We worked the most with Danyel and she was phenomenal, highly recommend working with her!! She went absolutely above and beyond making sure we had everything we wanted or needed. She set up all of our decor and made it look even better than I imagined. She was at our rehearsal on Friday, stayed all night to do last minute touches, was there on Saturday to do day of set up with our other vendors, and showed up early Sunday so we could get our stuff. She made our day that much more special and we are so, so grateful for her!!!

    We came to Wilmington to try some different breweries. My mom and I walked in. We asked to try two samples and the bartender acted as if we were an inconvenience. I mentioned that I didn't prefer the pickle (Whittt beer) and he made a snarky comment that the beer should be drank outside, which has nothing to do with my taste buds. My mom asked to sample another beer where he smarted off with another snarky comment. Once my dad and sister got there they asked to sample the three IPAs but just one sample of each for BOTH of them to try. They both got a beer and my sister's had something in the bottom. The bartender responded that the beer wasn't filtered and that the black stuff in the bottom was hops. I told him I didn't like my beer so the nicest thing he did was take mine off. We decided to leave and my sister put her beer on the counter and he make another jerk comment that she could have told him that she didn't like it, which she did. He continued to yell something as they walked out the door. We will NOT return to this establishment. Wilmington is a tourist attraction and for this guy to be so rude was unacceptable and unappreciated. Photo below to show the beer. I believe his name is Laren and if it is, I will not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

    Great place to hang and have conversation. Bartender was very knowledgeable and entire location has space to accommodate any size group.

    This is a pretty cool brewery with delicious beer. The location of the brewery is in a old building that really has character. I had a refreshing IPA that quenched my thirst in the hot summer day. I had a fun time and would be back when I am in Wilmington.

    I live in Hampstead and live very close to the Ironclad Golf Course and so I have been wanting to check out the brewery downtown. Ironclad is in a great location right in heart of Wilmington, however, I feel like every time I try to go in on the weekend, there is always an event and it is closed to the public. I was downtown for a girls night during the week and finally was able to go inside! It is in this historic building that dates back to the 1920s. They do all of their own beers and they always have so many choices, including seltzers and they have wine on tap! They have some funny names for their beers which I always enjoy, like Cukes of Hazard and Hoppy Gilmore. I ended up going for the Brayton Kolsh which was a delicious beer, and my friend got the apple pie gose they had. Their space is huge, which makes sense since they do have events like weddings here and is a nice location if you are going with family and want to enjoy a beverage.

We had about a 45 minute wait for a table of 6 which was understandable as it was pretty busy at noon on Thursday. Drinks came quickly as we were seated. Appetizers were hit or miss. Fried pickles were surprisingly good and I'm not a pickle fan. However the pretzel was disappointing. Food was comparable to what you would find at other pubs. My smash burger was fantastic. We did have one issue where the vegetarian in our group got served a chicken bowl by accident. However they quickly remedied it and got him what he ordered ASAP. Unfortunately we were mostly done by the time his food came. They did comp the food that was late which was nice. If you are looking for a good bite and tasty beer then I would totally recommend this place.
