    Friends and I stopped here on a day trip to Williamsburg. It's an out of the way place, located on the water, with indoor and outdoor seating. It was pretty crowded when we arrived, but we were able to find a parking spot. We were pleasantly surprised to see that there was a duo playing music on the stage. After purchasing our beer, we found seats in a shady area adjacent to the stage. We enjoyed our beverages while listening to the music and looking out over the water, which was very relaxing. I'd stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

    Great spot for a beer and a bite. Food truck is awesome. Great space overall. Nice outdoor area with a covered spot. The taproom is not large but comfortable. Beers are good and they also have several non alcoholic options. Super view of the water and dock area.

    We loved the ambience, and chill relaxing vibe. The beer and mixed drinks were good, plenty of outdoor seating. Everyone was friendly and super helpful. The bald guys pies food truck had delicious pizza. The also had live music. Would highly recommend

    What a nice place with a great location nestled right near the marina. We visited this brewery while attending a group bike ride hosted by a bike alley in Williamsburg. I had no idea that this location was a part of the stops on our way back from riding. I am so glad it was and we were able to experience a brewery. We otherwise would've missed. There is truly something for everyone in this brewery they have beer and their house made cocktails for non-beer drinkers things such as lemon drops martinis and the like. I simply asked the brewery tenant for their sweetest beer since I am not a bear drinker, and he nailed it on the first pick. The beer was so good and refreshing almost similar to a cider beer. On the grounds was outdoor seating as well as some standing room inside as well.

    Last weekend, I joined up with some friends from a social group to this place in Williamsburg. This brewery has been open since 2017 looking over the marina. It is a beautiful spot where you can sit either inside or outside overlooking the view. I hardly travel to this area so finding another hidden spot is a huge plus. And the decor is really pretty. How was the visit you may ask? I joined the group in the evening where it was a bit chilly and you get a very nice view of the marina. Minutes later, we were able to snag a few tables inside where it was a bit warmer. Before that, I ordered a beer. Their newly released Fresh Harvest Strawberry IPA. Very good stuff. You can definitely taste the flavors in this one. I also ate some chips as food so that yours truly wouldn't leave on an empty stomach. This righ here was definitely worth trying. A very cozy spot overlooking the marina with a chilled vibe and staff making sure you're in good hands. You'll see me again here soon :)

    Stopped by for a few drinks while in Williamsburg yesterday. The beers were tasty and cold, servers were helpful, but the ambiance could use some help. It's just plain. There is a great view of water and a marina, but the bar and deck areas are tired. Of course this does not make the beer any less appealing, but the facilities could be better. Give it a try if in the area.

    Fun beer drink flight!

    A fun brewery! We have gone here quite a few times and always enjoy the view and atmosphere. The beers and fun beer drinks here are always good. When they have large events they set-up an outdoor bar to help with keeping the beer flowing.

    Fast service and able to taste before committing to any beers. Came here for a Father's Day's treat for my hubby who enjoyed a good stout with a Nitro brew called the Ghost Wind Stout and the head was spectacular. I got the Betty Hefe which is a Hefeweizen so tasty. Hubby then tried two and went for the Planet 4 Red Ale. The first one was too hoppy. We enjoyed the indoor ac and though we wished we could face the opposite direction, the waterfront, at least we didn't get overheated. Overall a great place for beers then we strolled outside where there was a huge crowd and music with two food trucks. One food truck was sold out at 5:30 pm while the other, the Hungry Pug was still open. Yummy but we were all full from our beers. Next time.

    Cool spot with tons of outdoor seating, some covered! We were in town visiting the area and were recommended to visit this brewery. The staff was super nice and quick. The beers we tried were crisp and full of taste. We sat on a covered deck right outside the tasting room. There were beautiful views of the marina. They had a large apparel selection as well. I always like to buy a sticker and glass when I go to a new brewery.

    Beer was awesome, view was awesome. Staff wasn't very welcoming. Overall venue is nice.

    There red beer was amazing!! Everyone we brought loved the beer they chose. What really makes this place stand out it's the ambiance. Very nice covered outdoor patio, the have a great dock if you are coming by boat and the food trucks are great. I had a pulled pork sandwhich with macaroni salad. It was all so good. Did I mention the service? They were all so helpful and pleasant. If I lived here, I'd be back every Friday. Please send beer to CA!

There were a lot of drink options, but not many snacks, so if you come here, eat before or have a plan to grab food after. I got the Sapphire Robot, which was sweet without being overwhelming. As someone who doesn't like beer that much, this was perfect. The decor was strange, which works for the name, but it put off my friends. If a ton of taxidermy bothers you, maybe skip it.

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.

Staff was just as friendly as our first visit, and this time we opted to sample a few of the drafts before making our decisions on what to order. There are so many great drafts to choose from.

We couldn't stay for the live band this evening, but hope to time our next visit so we can enjoy some live music. We highly recommend the Frothy Moon Brewhouse for a tasty draft beer!

As far as gluten free food, there's a pretty limited amount of baked goods to eat. You can try your luck with the food trucks outside, but beware that they're pretty pricey. The Hawaiian food truck had nachos that were super disappointing gf (but I won't hold it against Frothy for this review). Not a bad place to relax, and they were accommodating to a large group. Their cider and beer list was pretty decent too. Minus one star for the limited gluten free options and the wait. Staff were very friendly though so I don't want that going unmentioned.

We popped in for a casual beer break, and it quickly turned into one of the highlights of the day. The space itself is gorgeous! It's open, airy and designed with a laid-back coastal vibe that fits Cape Charles perfectly. You order both beer and food inside at the counter, which keeps things easy and low- key. I went with the Pilsner, and it was exactly what I wanted, perfect after a day out exploring. Their beer list has something for everyone, whether you're into lighter options or something with a bit more depth. We didn't order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. They've got plenty of options like burgers, nachos, and other brewery favorites that definitely seemed worth trying next time. What really stood out was the atmosphere. There was so much going on in the best way. They had a dog adoption event happening outside while we were there, which added such a fun, community-driven vibe. They also host live music and other events regularly, so it feels like there's always something to check out. The outdoor space is huge and perfect if you're with a group or bringing kids. There's a fire pit, games like cornhole, and plenty of room to spread out and hang for a while. Definitely the kind of place you plan to stop at for one drink and end up staying much longer. I will be adding this to my must visit list anytime I'm on the Eastern Shore.

    So, a burger costs $18 and comes with fries…read more A side of Fries alone is $7. A side of onion rings is $8. However, if you want to substitute onion rings instead of fries it will cost you $8 extra, making it a $26 meal. So really you're just buying a side of onion rings and also not getting the fries. This is not a substitution. This is buying more and getting less. Please tell me how this makes any sense!?!? I gave quite a bit of push back along with some real life number crunching... but the employee could not seem to understand the lack of logic that, based on their menu prices, an onion ring substitution should be more like $1, and not $8. This is adding 45% to the cost of the meal which is absurd. This is not a surcharge, it's just buying onion rings and also not getting the fires that come with the meal. I wasn't going to pay $26 for a burger, so got the fries which were actually amazing, but not what I wanted... and the burger just was okay... but I can't seem to get over their lack of understanding that this makes no sense. Just write no substitutions if you don't want to bother catering to your customers! I was a tourist heading home from a mini vacation and REALLY craving onion rings, this venue made me super grumpy for no good reason except stubbornness and lack of math skills and reasoning and customer service. Not impressed.
