    Just Hangin' Around

    We just stopped in for a beer on the way home on a Sunday night a half hour before closing. Great space! The service was on point. I'd come back to try the Ruben.

    Time for an update. We've had a chance to go here two more times and I'd have to say that I think they're getting their feet underneath them. Service both times was very good. My wife's gorgeous beer continues to be great. My wife is ordered the grain Bowl with chicken the last two times and she likes it quite a lot. I ordered the Reuben (w/extra kraut) one time and the Smashburger the other time. I definitely like both of them and would order them again. I've stuck to the Margaritas, which have been pretty consistent and pretty good. I would definitely recommend you try this place out if it all interested. I upped my score to five stars, so on average for me they are at 4.5 Stars. I think that's pretty fair at this time. But I think they also are working hard to improve to a solid five-star rating.

    Perfect Friday night (or any night) watering hole! We were here in March and it was a little cold for the patio but now in April, it's perfect weather to grab a beer and decompress after the workday. We had the wings (sooo flavorful - BBQ) and then the Cuban and the Hot Honey Chicken sammie. Loved everything and the beer was great too! We will be back.

    This place is a neat little surprise tucked away on the side of the highway that we were pleasantly pleased with. The natural wood indoors and the vaulted ceiling with minimalist decor was just what we were looking for on a road trip. The food was all organic. The "Virginia Beer" came in an amber bottle and was fresh water. The mustard was freshly ground from organic mustard seeds and beautiful. The food was good and was art in itself.

For entrees, we had the bone-in pork and the cavatelli, and both were excellent. The pork was probably one of the top five I've ever had -- cooked perfectly, with a great sauce on top and really good grits. My wife had a gin, egg white, raspberry, and prosecco drink. It tasted mostly like prosecco, so we weren't quite as impressed with the cocktail as we thought we'd be. One little tiff: there was no one sitting on the outside patio, so we asked if we could have the shaded table. They said no because of the staffing setup. About halfway through our meal, one couple came and sat at the larger table we weren't allowed to use, then decided they didn't want to sit there and went inside. Not really sure what the big deal was with that table versus the one next to it where we were seated on an otherwise empty patio. But all in all, it was a great meal and we would definitely go again!

They brought out a water bowl for our dog. The food was excellent - would recommend the biscuit board as an appetizer. They also had a fun specialty latte that was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and they thoughtfully brought our glasses of champagne, which was quite nice.

It is a good place for a group of people. Service was fine, but fine is probably the one word I'd use to describe the experience. The beer selection was fine, they tasted fine, the music was fine, everything was fine, but with so many breweries in the area and other places to grab a drink, I think I was expecting a little more from Alewerks. Anyway, not a bad experience by any means and I can see why locals enjoy it, but for me it's a solid 3-star. It was enjoyable for the stop, but not enough to come back to when I'm back in the area.

    I wanted to love this brewery, but the atmosphere created by some of the regulars makes it feel…read moremore like a private club than a welcoming brewery. Tables are routinely "claimed" with food and personal items even when nobody is sitting there, and seats are seemingly reserved for people who aren't even present. As a paying customer, it's frustrating to walk into a public business and feel like you're intruding on someone else's members-only space. The culture here has become so cliquish and inhospitable that it resembles a VFW or Lions Club more than a community brewery. Instead of being greeted by an inviting environment, newcomers are left feeling like outsiders who don't belong. What's especially telling is that this reputation apparently extends beyond this brewery. I've spoken with patrons and employees at other local breweries who immediately knew which place I was talking about and laughed knowingly about the "regulars running the place" and the unwelcoming atmosphere they've created. Breweries thrive when they foster community and make everyone feel welcome. Unfortunately, this one seems to have allowed a small group of regulars to dominate the space and dictate the culture, creating an environment that discourages new and returning customers alike.

My husband was pleased with the offerings of beer and enjoyed what he had. WE had Boat Cheese Curds with Marinara as an appetizer and they were quite good. I ordered Fried Crab Claw Cakes that came with potatoes and a slaw. All were very tasty. My husband got the Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya and loved it. We took desserts for later at the hotel: My husband's brownie was good and they packed the ice cream separately, so that made him happy. I had the peach cobbler, and while good -- I tend to like my peaches a bit more "peachy" ....they use lots and lots of cinnamon and allspice. The fruit was dark brown. Good, but not what I'd hoped for.

We ordered a Diners burger, Virginia burger, and house wings. The Burgers were borderline inedible due to the huge amount of salt. If i had been dining in I would have sent it back. I would not feed that much salted meat to my dog. The burgers dampness also had literally demolished the lower bun and iceberg lettuce. So i had to disgard those sodding blobs. The Virginian burger also salty, and the crab cake, small and underwhelming. The Chicken wings tasteless and dry. On too of this i had no choice but to pay a 10% tip for "take out prepare ". If i can give zero i would. Id say "fire the chef"
