    I really wanted to like this place but for a being a brewery I did not like any of the beer I tried. Got a flight and tried a few, the best one I had was a guest tap from Asheville. The inside is decorated and has a lot of open space for busier days.

    A tasty flight

    This place had everything you'd expect from a brewery - Great beer & wine - Outdoor seating - Spacious indoor area - Awesome atmosphere - Welcoming to kids & dogs The staff was kind and helpful in helping you find your favorite flavor or flight of fun flavors. When I'm visiting this area again, I will absolutely be making a stop here!

    Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Love the location. Parking is a little tricky but we parked on the main street going through Wendell so it wasn't bad at all. We arent beer drinkers but one of the girls behind the counter was gracious enough to let me sample a few and I landed on Ginger Beer and really liked it. I got a full pint and it was around $10. They had plenty of seating with several TV screens. As your walking towards the restrooms you will see two dartboards which we enjoyed a nice competitive game - BTW girls rock (we beat our husbands). They also had dog treats and a waterering station for them. Just a great place to hangout with friends. We would definitely come back.

    Flight.

    I really wanted to love this place because it's in my community. They have super chill vibes. It isn't child friendly at all which sucks for us parents. They have a cool environment for getting work done and WiFi so that is the plus. I'll go back but their beers are just okay. There are better breweries in the area as far as beer.

    Your local neighborhood Brewery. This place was packed on a Friday evening, especially the outside patio. A bunch of families enjoying some cold brews with their friends. Parents bought their kids, looked like an entire little league team was there. Inside there was live music and a birthday party. A good size venue with lots swag and a decent amount of activities. The staff were friendly and efficient. I ended up getting a flight so I could taste several beers. The quality of beer was impressive. #Adulting: ~ MAR-GOSE-RITA BEER SLUSHIE w/ whipped cream - 5/5 I had a Beer Slushie before, but this one was on another level...especially during a hot summer evening. Get the whipped cream to top it off...it's a game changer ~ THE BRAMBLE - 3/5 A bit tangy and creamy with a subtle Blackberry flavor ~ AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN WHEAT - 3/5 A solid wheat beer, don't think I'm a fan of wheat beer ~ AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN WHITE IPA - 4/5 A good IPA, not too hoppy ~ TROPICAL COASTLINE WEST COAST IPA - 4/5 Tasty Citrus & Tropical notes ~ SIP OFF THE WHOLE BLOCK NEIPA - 3.5/5 Solid NEIPA ~ MAR-GOSE-RITA SALTED LIME GOSE - 3/5 Almost like a sour. Not my pint of beer...but make a brilliant slushie!

    Comfy chairs

    I just want a tasty beer in a place that doesn't make me feel like I'm surrounded by loud obnoxious college kids and the music isn't crazy loud. I think it means I'm just getting old? But found this place while passing through, it's a brewery with a rotating food truck outside, and rhetorical tap is incredible. There are about 7 IPA's on tap, se fruit and sour beers, and plenty of Pilsner's and lagers for dudes like me. Plenty of seating, super clean tables. There are high tops that are great for groups, smaller tables for solo travelers and plenty of comfortable looking chairs.

    Really cute, clean brewery in downtown Wendell. Lots of merchandise options. Good beer selection with a few sours and ciders for those non-beer drinkers. Highly recommend the 'Resting Bee Face' a (very!) sour mango sour. No food options but there was a food truck available nearby.

    I am still a fan of the Bearded Bee! They have great staff and quality live music, two hard to find amenities in many small breweries around NC. BB has some very comfortable seating arrangements; the very large couches are great for small groups or families! Unfortunately, the odds of having slightly inconsiderate solo individuals occupying those areas rather than the more appropriate tables scattered throughout area are considerably great. They definitely produce some very good brews on both ends of the spectrum, and since my preference is lightest or darkest, I can't speak to any of those in between. Like most other local drinkeries they do have outdoor seating, sadly those seats don't come with any sort of propane heat for the colder months, so dress warm if you plan on sitting outside. Stop in for a brew or two and enjoy the live music, hopefully the improvements will keep coming, Wendell needs a place like this. Cheers!

    Great variety on the draft list!

    Excellent beer and great atmosphere! We stopped on a whim while visiting family for the holiday, but definitely on the list to come back.

    Went to BBB on a Saturday night with my wife. What a night on tap with Duke and UNC on the televisions with a live performance on the stage from Nicholas Vernon. BBB has no kitchen to speak of a relies on food trucks for provisions. Nothing wrong with that. They actually let you bring your own eats if you'd like. They allow well-beehaved (see what I did there?) dogs to join in on the fun. The place has a wide open feel inside with plenty of seating. There's also plenty of nice space outside with overhead lights and such. The beer selection is beyond adequate and the staff at the counter is knowledgeable about the beers on tap. What more can you ask for? We'll be back for sure!

    This a great little brewery! Cute outdoor area for extra seating. Fabulous selection of beers! They have trivia night on Wednesdays! The staff are pleasant and knowledgeable?

    Glad I chose a flight and tried a few different beer styles

    Ask the Community - Bearded Bee Brewing

    Are there food trucks daily or just certain evenings?

    I was there two weeks ago on a Saturday and they had a food truck. I'm not sure if it's a daily thing but, I would check their website and see if they have a food truck lineup listed in their events. I had only one beer there and it was really good.

It was about 2pm and rainy...there was practically no one there so we had an easy time parking. Meredith was the bartender and she was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I love breweries. And one of my favorite things to do is get a flight, so I was very surprised to learn that they only did flights on THURSDAYS...I'm not sure I've ever been to a brewery that only did flights on certain days. But my husband decided on the Juicy Rapids IPA and I started with a Strawberry Shortcake. I was also surprised to have my beer served in a clear plastic solo cup (also a first at a brewery.) The seating area was huge, almost cavernous. The restrooms were easy to find and very clean. It was also really neat to see where they brewed the beer onsite. Everything was so shiny! LOL. For our second round, I had a Mountain Sunrise Blonde. And since I didn't get a flight, I ended up having a third round of Pumpkin Pie Porter, which was delicious and IMO, much better than the other two I had, which I was not very impressed with. We ended up staying for 1.5 hours and it really started to fill up. And get really noisy. I did get to meet a really sweet dog though! There was not a food truck while we were there but they did have chips and other snacks available. I REALLY liked the Jalapeno Queso chips...I need to find out where else I can buy those! Overall it was a wonderful place to have a day date...very relaxed and friendly. I would come back here again.

I was impressed with so many of them, that I knew I had to make the journey from Raleigh to Wake Forest. On a chilly Saturday afternoon, I took the lone remaining seat at the bar. The service was incredible friendly (Cheers!) and they let me try 4 samples, which was very much appreciated. My favorites were the Juicy January and and the Yellow Submarine, both are Hazy IPAs. The JJ had hints of creamy pineapple in it, refreshing without being too light. The YS tasted a little more balanced, a really good all around beer. The Where I Belong was also good, this one leaned a little more towards West Coast, but it didn't have a strong piney taste like a lot of West Coasts can. I even noticed hints of caramel in it as well, which helped to counter the hops. There are several TVs and they'll put on just about any game you request. Also if you're into pumpkin beer, try the Pumpkin Amber when it's around. It's a Top 3 pumpkin beer that I've ever tried, and I've tried at least 25.

I was super impressed by everything about the brewery and so wish it was closer to me so we could hang out there all the time. The place was absolutely beautiful. I loved their wooden beer signs and their outdoor tables. The space was huge and a great place for fun events. I loved their telephone booth selfie booth! They had food trucks on site and a great outdoor space. I really loved seeing so many dogs there! The event itself was absolutely incredible!! It was so cool seeing people dressed in full armor! I loved seeing the birds too. There were people dressed in costume who sent us on a bit of a scavenger hunt. We so enjoyed meeting the different costumed actors and being sent around to look for specific characters! A lot of thought and planning went into this event and we so appreciate the experience. Their beers were AMAZING!! We tried three different beers and loved them all. My favorite was the Spice Ghouls. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their beers. All of the staff members we interacted with were super nice. They were all working so hard to make the beer lines move fast. I love the cups!They had people pay $1 for the cup and then use it for each beer. I love that because it cut back on waste! I'm looking forward to next year. Hugger Mugger gave me a real sense of community. What a great place! I'll definitely visit again before their next anniversary.
