The low down:This place never disappoints! The customer service is consistently friendly and welcoming, and the beer and wine selection is fantastic--there's truly something for everyone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tonight was extra special thanks to the incredible live music by JT Parrothead. The energy, talent, and atmosphere made for such a fun and memorable evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great drinks, great people, and great music all in one spot--what more could you ask for? We'll absolutely be back! read more

I first got to try Blackbird at a Halloween Yelp event, where they brough about half a dozen of the beers for us to try. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are several TVs and they'll put on just about any game you request.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

We had another great visit to Blackbird. I had the False Profits DIPA, and the hub had the Squad Deep West Coast IPA. I also tried the Bellboy English Porter, and I really liked it. The staff let us try a couple of different items before deciding, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there was ample indoor & outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also learned that it is possible to order from Cape Fear Seafood and have it delivered. read more

Cute local brewery with great services..!! We went here while waited for dinner a couple of doors down

Blackbird, my love, my favorite brewing company, with wonderful people. Met Harmony, one of the owners at an event a few weeks ago where we sampled her wonderful beers and when my mom came to visit, we knew we had to take her to Halloween music bingo on a Tuesday night. The bingo was a blast, but the beers were even better from the tap! It's so hard to choose a favorite when every single one is so delicious. We're so excited to find a brewery that every person we meet agrees is THE BEST!I wish I took a picture when our cups were more full, but the beers were too good for that. read more

Blackbird Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Blackbird Brewery is a very nice addition to the newly constructed Wheatfield Shopping Center located on Forestville Road in Wake Forest. We went there last Saturday and it was busy. There was a vendors market occurring in the open space between the brewery and a pizzeria (Mario's) that we are going to try soon. There is outdoor as well as indoor seating. Inside they did a really nice job with the seating and decor. I had a beer flight consisting of their IPAs, Czech and Blonde Ale. Most of the beers here are German / Czech, Belgian and American IPA inspired. All were delicious. I then got a pint of the Thiology Hoppy Blonde Ale. It was also delicious!! They offer wine and Prosecco for the non beer drinkers. It's a fun place; check it out. read more

My beer friends really like this place, so maybe I just need to try some other brews as it wasn't my favorite. They had about 10 different beers on tap when we went. The berry sour I got was just not good. It was loaded with fruit (which I have no problem with as fruited sours are my favorite), but the texture was off putting...pulpy almost. It tasted like watered down Koolaid. I sampled the jalapeño ginger and that was awful. To each their own. I was glad to see they bad an outdoor area where children could run around and adults have seats inside because there's nothing worse than unsupervised kids rolling around while you try to sip your beer. read more

Newly opened brewery in Wake Forest. Today is day 4. Rectangular room in a storefront in the corner of a new strip center. The in-house brewery isn't up and running yet, bar is serving beers from others. A nice variety is available. It's family friendly, there's a few tables outside. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Excellent beer of many different beer styles and flavors, wonderful knowledgeable staff on hand to describe and pour the brews as well.

I was holding off on trying this spot until they started brewing their own beer which they have been for a bit now. It was one of the IPAs for me and the short schwarz (a smoked schwarzbier) for my husband. I really liked the service, beer and space here. If you are in Wake Forest, check this brewery out. read more

I took advantage of the fact that my wife, a huge wine and cider fan, but not a big beer lover, was out of town to stop in and try this place. I absolutely loved it. The bar,/taproom atmosphere was awesome. It was laid-back, classy, and the servers behind the bar were outstanding. Both were very helpful, very busy, but Took their time with each customer, and were extremely efficient. Most importantly, the beers were great! I had a flight, and everything was outstanding. The highlight was probably the oatmeal raisin cookie Porter. All the flavors were there, and I loved everything about it. if I didn't live an hour and a half away, I would visit this place frequently. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone that likes craft beer, or just a cool place to hang out. read more

What a great family friendly brewery! Located in a newish shopping center in Wake Forest on Rogers Branch rd. They have a great outdoor space with cozy couches and chairs with table top fire pits and lots of gaming area for all the kiddos. They also have events according to the web site. Friendly service and will definitely be back. Beer and wine served as well as some non alcohol for the younger crowd. I did see pizza box from nearby Romeos so its bring your own food. read more

The space is intimate with a wide door open to the patio area. They only allows dogs inside to order with you which in my opinion is a small missed opportunity based on the proximity of a vet and a dog training facility in the same complex. A nice selection of overall types of beer and offers flights for you to choose from. I had a glass of the The Insider Cabernet Sauvignon which tasted like mulled blackberries in the most delicious way possible. The staff is friendly and attentive and we will certainly be back soon. read more

Great beer - expanding There location - will be bigger & better - can't wait to see the changes read more

Good beers but the glasses are not pints so the price per ounce is very expensive compared to other local breweries. Also, when the weather is nice there are usually kids running feral round the outdoor area with parents just drinking and not paying attention to what their kids are doing. When my less than semi well behaved kids comment that the kids there are badly behaved...I know something is up! Lol. This part is not necessarily the business's fault but they could do a better job of asking some families to leave when kids are misbehaving, and added to the small drinks and high prices, it's not high on my list of places to go. read more

Amazing atmosphere and even better staff! Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend going when they have events like trivia or music bingo! read more

We visited yesterday for the first time and sampled eight beers. Each one was excellent!! The service was prompt and courteous. The ambiance is amazing both inside and outside. The outdoor space is children and dog friendly. We recommend you visit and enjoy the Blackbird ‍ !!! read more

Cool layout with nice outdoor patio and fire pits area. nice selection of beer. live music some days. Disappointing that they dont offer selzer or other nonalcoholic drinks for dd. Female bartender was rude with tude when i asked about selzer. Several other breweries in wf as good or better. read more

Good choice in beer, friendly staff nice set up, indoor and outdoor seating. Give them a try!

Cool place. Very friendly staff! No lucks given milk stout is to die for. They have food trucks in rotation also. Lots of outside seats. Just a cool place for wake forest read more

Very good beer and the outside has a very nice ambience. The only thing that I did not like was when we were sitting outside, which was not an issue of Blackburg, but were the rude parents, allowing the free range, children to scream, jump all over everything, and then our case spill our beer. That's the reason why I gave it a four out of five now the question comes about. Will we go there again absolutely. read more

Ok beer choices. I wish there was a brown ale though. It's a cute place and the bartenders were incredibly friendly. The vibe was community focused and seating was pretty close to get tables to talk to one another. As someone who likes to take a game with them to a brewery the tables are too small for gaming. read more

Tried the Orinthonlogy IPA it was great! Nice crowd and setup. Highly recommend trying it out.

Deke was great and super nice and recommended a drink that was delish but he was very kind and cool.

Love these guys! Harmony and Ian have created a great hang out to enjoy well crafted beer! You'll be happy you went by and enjoyed yourself.

Service was great! Beer was amazing, and ambiance was perfect! We loved the outdoor area and how kid friendly it was!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't advertise dog friendly and restrict them to outside only because you sale packaged pretzels and claim the health department will shut you down if the dogs are inside where packaged pretzels are sold.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This makes you look and sound clueless to the laws. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just state dogs are not allowed indoors as a company policy and make sure it's clearly states this on the outside of the establishment as it was covered up the day we went there with our dog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great atmosphere and selection of beer and wine. Met the owner and she was sweet to offer up her seat by one of the fire pits outside for me and my friends. I highly recommend this brewery!!!! read more

Good beer, nice ambiance, clean restrooms, very cute outdoor space! My friends and I stopped by for a beer and we had a lovely time!

Nice location with large outside seating and area for kids to play. The beers I tried were just mediocre. They had only two of their own beers on tap with the remainder being guest taps. Will try again in a month, after they work out the bugs. read more
