This brewery opened in March but due to the pandemic had to do a 'brew-thru' for a little bit until…read morethe taproom could finally open back up. We decided to make the trip to downtown Lillington to check it out. Belleau Wood is veteran owned. We started off with a flight which comes with 5 choices for $15. We chose the underrated (an amber), mica (an IPA), hop solo (a pale ale), cacackalacky (a lager) and no name (a tropical stout). I'm not a huge fan of ambers or lagers but they were both really good. I love IPAs so I had to go with the mica for a pint next. If you are hungry there are snacks available or restaurants that will deliver. It sounded like they are brewing up some really tasty beers so I can't wait to check them out again.

I enjoyed my Belleau Wood brew today, it seems they have a couple new ones and also guest taps!…read moreI've been several times and the beer is usually so-so. Unfortunately, there's never anyone here. It's definitely a coffee shop that has beer and not the other way around. If you're looking for good beer or a lively spot, this isn't a great choice. Lillington options are very limited for good beer drinking!

You definitely come here for the beer not the food. They mislabeled the burger "Hometown Favorite". Should have been called the "Undercooked and Greasy Burger"'. I chose brussel sprouts as my side because I really like them. However these were flavorless. I guess at least the food came out quick. Probably too quick. I would have preferred a little more time on my burger and brussel sprouts. Both were undercooked. Thankfully not all was loss. The beer was pretty good.

Been here once so far and definitely want to return. The employees and regulars are awesome. They…read moreare welcoming and love dogs. Dogs are not allowed inside (other than service dogs). They do have a pet friendly outdoor patio (with heaters). Nearly everyone there came outside to greet my dog and I. Since I couldn't go inside they watched my dog while I went inside to get a beer. The bartender was friendly and efficient. She even brought out a water bowl. Without tasting other options, I chose the pecan maple porter ($7). It was excellent. Smooth, flavorful, and strong albeit pricy (comparable to other breweries in the area). Definitely would order that again, although I do want to try their other options. Several people were sitting outside and welcomed any at their table and into their conversations. Inside, the brewery was hosting an open mic night. I would have liked to hear more of it, but the outdoor patio was peaceful. As the sun came down, they started the heaters/fire pits. Ample parking is available right out front. Nearby parking lots and street parking is also available. Overall, excellent experience here and I highly recommend this brewery to others!

A lot of people said that the location Oaklyn Springs Brewery opened at was a cursed location since…read moretwo other breweries existed in the same spot and failed. I visited the former one and there was a clear reason it failed...their beers weren't good. Oaklyn on the other hand came in swinging and made some amazing top tier beers right out of the gate thanks to their head brewer Daniel aka Rusty, who developed all of their core beers as well as some knockouts over the years. This is by far the BEST brewery in the Fuquay-Varina area and in my opinion one of the best in the Triangle. I've been a customer since they first opened and I've had over 300 beers per Untappd at this location. I have several bottles of their rare barrel aged releases in my beer cellar. I used to be a weekly regular but I've since greatly reduced my beer consumption for my health and longevity so I don't make it out but a couple times a year now. Their beers are on a completely different level than any other brewery in Fuquay. They host various events and food trucks throughout the week. Long gone are the days of Wednesday night music bingo with DJ Gino and hot dogs with Chicago J Hotdogs. We used to be able to count on those two each Wednesday and a lot of us regulars laughingly joked that Wednesdays was kid night due to the amount of kids in tow and yes I am guilty of bringing my kids...J charged like $2 for a kids hot dog meal, was so cheap to feed them!! They really like to plug in with the community and host fundraising events as well as shopping events with pop-up shops a few times a year. When they were first getting started there wasn't a lot of business or traffic. One of the four owners would often be there, sometimes all of them, and they even paid their own tabs!! On top of that they always made sure the bartenders were taken care of on slow nights. I saw them hand them $100 bills multiple times so they really do take care of their people...you couldn't say the same of Aviator or Mason Jar Breweries. The only problem with the brewery is parking. There isn't much of it. Especially if there is a big event. And if you park in Enterprise's parking lot you will get towed. There have been times I went to visit and there was no parking anywhere. Sometimes you could stop and ask Kumo if you could use one of their spots or park in the collision center parking lot. Now they have two tap rooms so if the brewery is full I would just go to the Varina taproom. I love how community oriented this brewery is and has been and it will go on my favorite lists for best of Raleigh and the Triangle and best of Fuquay.

They currently have four beers on tap: Virtue IPL, Stick Barn Schwarzbier, Happy Place Helles and Small Town Bock. And, are brewing up small batches that are released every Sunday. If I had to choose a favorite it would definitely be Happy Place Helles. I was a bit disappointed to hear that they do not offer flights so I recommend that you sample the beers before to ensure that you will like it before committing to a full pour. As far as the space goes, it is a bit smaller inside and it can get loud. I really hope that they get sound absorbers to help with that. Giant jenga and corn hole are no longer available to play inside, only outside, so visit on a nice day. I am excited to see what Mason Jar is brewing up next.

Anyway, went across the street to the Tap House. It was like 130pm on Saturday, but pretty empty. I had the pickle chips to start and was worried that I would ruin my appetite... no chance or that, as the serving, which took 20 minutes, was about the size of a large handful, lol. They were decent, but could have been drained or blotted better, the bottom was a pool of grease. 10 bucks doesn't go very far these days. For my lunch, I had a dozen dry rubbed wings with Spitfire and some other sauce on the side (website is pretty bad) doesn't mention the sauce list. One of the sauces was nice and spicy, kind of surprised they would serve that in NC, but good. The wings themselves were good. Nicely cooked, not too fatty, and a nice dry rub. Service was weird. I had not been there before, and the host... Lets just say I asked 4 times if they had a bar I could sit at, and he said he couldn't understand me 4 times, so I just walked by him and sat at the bar. The bartenders were nice, but the girl that ran my food twice talked so low that I could not hear or understand her... turnabout. Anyway, I like in Cary, and although it was OK, I cannot see myself driving out there again just for the food. If I was driving through and wanted wings, I would probably stop.
