Brewery 99 - 99 !! - Breweries Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

Popped in while on our way to another spot in new bern.. really nice place and had great selection of beer.. I had lunatic blueberry with lime - gruit.. it was really good.. hubby had tasty pants it's a pale ale. Looked like a comfortable space to kick back, relax with beer and good friends! Our bartender was on his own but it wasn't too busy only few couples but he was very nice. The beer is good and plenty seats and tables inside and out front. I highly recommend stopping in on a visit to new bern! read more

Still by far the best brewery in town. AND they now are open pretty much all day with coffee and bakery items including homemade muffins, bread, and cinnamon rolls (and pepperoini rolls, call me crazy, but they're so good I'll eat them any time of day). It's the only place in New Bern with huge windows and a lot of light that makes it enjoyable to sit and get work done. They've got free wifi, and they're always super friendly and helpful. There really aren't many great cafes to work from in the area, so this is a huge help. read more

Being out of town we felt like at home. First we enjoyed an evening with tasting different brews they offer - I love hot spicy and the Jalepeno beer didn't disappoint, but loved they also had Selzer, cider, bubbles and super tasty CBD drink. I just adore trying out new things. Then the next day we had breakfast - wow their muffin and cinnamon buns were so delicious. We even went back on our second night too and had such a fun evening. It's such a great place to meet people and start sharing life stories. The staff is incredible attentive and friendly. The owner Pete the nicest owner you possible can find. You can tell his passion to produce the best quality products and to see his customers happy. Their mission to provide a community is a full success. We found a new home away from home and will be back! Thank you for having us! read more

Brewery 99 - Named after Pete's Dad - Breweries Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

It's a brewery, it's a bakery, it's both! As we travel around the country, we often find businesses we might not otherwise discover as we participate in the Harvest Host program that allows us stay overnight in these businesses. Such was the case with Brewery 99 (the 99th brewery in North Carolina). Hubby and I shared a flight of seven beers and we enjoyed all of them. Kyle the bartender gave me a taste of Lunatic with apocalypse and jalapeño peppers - I like spicy but wowza, this beer would have grown hair on my chest had I finished it! The next morning we were up early enticed by owner Pete's cinnamon rolls. He has found a way to combine his two favorite things in one business and has done it well! This place seems to attract locals and it was a pleasant atmosphere with good conversation buzz. Barley, Pete's dog greeted us in the morning with tail wagging and hoping we'd drop a bite of our cinnamon roll. read more

This is the by far the best kept secret (or is it even?) in Eastern NC. We stumbled upon this place several months ago when venturing to New Bern from Greenville. Honestly, this place was almost made for pandemic life. Despite mostly being outdoors, it has a divey - and yet somehow coastal - atmosphere. Dogs are welcome. They even sell homemade dog treats! Great place to hang, especially in nice weather. There's a covered outdoor bar, picnic tables, and even corn hole. The place is situated within an alley, of sorts, adding to the charm. Regarding the beer - they have a good variety with lots of style choices. They have a rotating gruit, dark beers, light beers, and a seltzer etc. This was the perfect place for me to order a flight and test my beer knowledge. They even sell big flights (aka like you can try almost all with one order). Literally every one of their beers are phenomenal examples of their respective styles. Grade A. Delicious. Love it here Highly encourage anyone to buy the merch. It is so comfortable. Unfortunately for everyone who knows me, I can't take off my Brewery 99 sweatshirt now. My only regret is that I don't live closer. I guess it's a good thing, or I'd be here every day. It seems like there's a crowd of locals and regulars who hang here, and they seem welcoming and friendly to anyone who shows up. The brewmaster or owner (Pete) has always been around each time we've visited and makes sure to check in and have personal conversations about how we're enjoying the beer and our time there. I will be back, Brewery 99! I'm gonna make sure I come here at least 99 times! The hour long drive is well worth it for me. read more

When you're in the town of New Bern, surrounded by what seems to be a retirement community and a city that shuts down at 8. You don't expect to find excellently crafted beer. Hidden away from the hustle of daily walking is this hidden gem. If you ever get a chance to swing by, make sure you ask for Duncan - the handsome beer tender/ amateur fire artist. He is as friendly as he is knowledgeable in the process and product that is being provided. Place has been open since 2015 and is on the rise to be one of the top must try breweries. read more

Always great people at this brewery. Barley the dog can often be found with the owner Pete, making the rounds and treating everyone. On this particular night, for me, I was surprised with an out of town visit from a high school classmate and her husband. Cheers y'all! read more

I hate to review this bar in fear of it becoming to popular, but Brewery 99 is 99% perfect. Four beers, owner greets you open arrival, small building that encourages conversations with strangers. It's like a dark, intimate sociology experiment with high gravity beer as the control. I'm not going to say much more than it's no frills with very good beer. If you like atmosphere and frills, this is not your place. If you like a chill vibe with very good beer than check it out. read more

Great atmosphere and selections. Glad our four legged pups were welcomed. We will definitely be back there again soon

I came here after finding out they serve baked goods AND beer at 7am, and anyone working nightshift will understand my excitement at this knowledge. Upon arrival I'm greeted by the brew dog, Barley, so at this point the beer could taste like piss and I'm still leaving 5 stars. Fortunately, for honesty's sake, the beer is fantastic. I got a growler of Tasty Pants. I like light beer, but I also like flavor; it's hard to get a package deal, but this place delivered. Took some baked goods home with me. I'm not crazy about cinnamon rolls, but I guess I just didn't have the right one. These are outstanding, and yeah, they pair great with the beer. Owner was serving this morning, and he was super nice. Got a Barley sticker and some dog treats to go. Our pups approve as well. Will likely be coming back for a refill Saturday morning. read more

@brewery99 features small batch ancient, traditional, modern, and spontaneous fermented adult beverages in a bohemian, relaxed atmosphere. Their new taproom on Pollock is shaded & more spacious than their original location & is a great spot to enjoy the New Bern sunset. #CraftBeer #LocalBrewery #NorthCarolinaBeer #SupportlLocal #shoplocal read more

Best brewery in New bern- so many great beers to choose from! the cinnamon rolls at the bakery are to die for as well. check it out if you're passing throug! read more

I usually only go on Thursday nights, and the bartender is such a great guy! A group of us usually meet up there around six, and he always remembers our drinks. My favorite beers alternate between tasty pants and the spicy one with the habaneros. I love trying out the different food trucks, and think this is a great way for people to be able to have dinner and a couple of beers at the brewery. We've also brought pizza in before, and that's always been super easy. We've not hung out at the brewery in the summertime yet, but I bet it will be very nice with that lovely outdoor seating area. read more

This might be my first review, so this is my go to brewery in New Bern. The owner, Pete, Frey, and his wonderful staff, including Alyssa, Danielle, Duncan, and Emma, all add to the warm and friendly ambience. They have a wide variety of beers to choose from that they brew on site. Lots of IPAs, though my favorite is the Belgian triple Xxx or configurnant. They often have live music, including the mad fiddler last week, and other fun things. They had a really fun ping pong tournament last month. read more

I had a fly in my beer. It didn't land in my beer it came out of the keg into the beer. Absolutely disgusting! The bartender asked if I wanted a replacement. No! I don't want anything coming from your taps! Your brewing company must have questionable safety standards. I can't go back to that place again! read more

The new facility is nice, but the quality of beer definitely doesn't reflect it. Both beers we ordered were quite disgusting. We're big beer people and these were just awful! A beautiful building but the atmosphere is quite boring and the beer is awful. read more

There's microbreweries, there's nanobreweries, but I'm pretty sure this is a pico brewery. Super small quaint space in downtown New Bern. I came on my birthday (9/9!!) for a celebratory drink after riding the 50 mile bike ms event. This is obviously a loyal local hangout spot. Many of the patrons were chatting actively with the server. I never felt excluded though. Someone even offered to buy my birthday round. There's only about 4 beers on tap, but they are a small operation. I enjoyed my stout and then we went to dinner. I wish they had some merch for me to buy I'd love to rock a brewery 99 tee shirt!! read more

Fun folks (staff and customers) and great vibes! Their XXX beglian beer was my favorite. Definitely check it out for a good time!

This place is a cozy, hidden gem. My husband and I both got the Smoke (American wheat) and ohhhh myyy. It was indeed a little smoky, and so, so good. Beer was reasonably priced ($5 a pop) anf the bartender was kind and had a good sense of humor. Thumbs up, for sure! read more

Brewery 99 - hard to find - but worth it! - Breweries Near Me - New Bern, North Carolina

It took us out of towners a hot minute to find this place. Upon finding it, we were not sure if it was a brewery. Well it is, just on a humble scale! We didnt go in until we saw a local go in, making sure it was open. Though it was small, with 3 beers on tap, it felt comfy with a good industrial vibe. I had the smoke American wheat, which had the perfect balance of smoke to my tastes. My hubby enjoyed the oatmeal stout while swapping techniques of brewing (he home brews) with the owner. Scored a quick Snapchat starring role (yikes, I'm not overly photogenic) for the owner as he went down his 'social media to-do list'. Glad to help! Ya'll should find this place, and buy some art a local artist named Neil Vandricks. read more

Cannot recommend this place enough. Awesome beer, laid back vibe, everyone is friendly. Outdoor setup is dog and kid friendly. Had we not just eaten we totally would've had a Monte Cristo (Sunday special). read more

Oh, hell yeah. Just Pete, one small room, and three great homemade beers. I can dig it. Had the Smoke (American wheat), and it was delightful. I can't wait to come back to New Bern so I can come here again. read more

Passing through New Bern and finally took time to stop & try a flight. Four beers on tap. All are unique and delicious. I think my favorite is the Hideout Stout. Don't let the location scare you away. You'll be glad you stopped in. Pete is super nice! Enjoyed conversing with the other patrons as well. Cheers! read more

This was instantly one of my favorite places in New Bern. It's a teeny tiny bar but feels more authentic than almost anything around here. All the patrons were friendly and the owner is chill. There were 4 beer taps. The decor is very plain and a bit unfinished, which adds to the character. It's so small, there are only maybe a dozen stools. There is an outdoor area. It's not far from the center of downtown. Even though it wasn't super comfortable and the aesthetic atmosphere isn't great, I loved it here. Beer's good, too. read more

This place is so awesome that I almost don't want to tell anyone about it so that I can keep it to myself. I recently moved to the area and I've been here every weekend since.

Pete is the chillest brewery owner ever. He brews in the weekdays and sells his home brew beer weekends. A few bar stool, a counter, some seats outside, 4 types of amazing beers and a good vibe. What could you say, That's all you need for a good time!! read more

What a local brewery should be. Tired of the same old format brewpubs? This little tasting room is a gem for sure. 4 taps, No presence, no attitude, just a fun and unique spot.

Brewery 99 is not just another pub, bar or dive. It is a social gathering that incorporates locals and tourist a like. You are greeted by the patrons at the gate door and then given a big warm welcome from the brewer and owner Peter Frey inside the white cider block building. Pete hosts usually four beers on tap and occasionally some bottled. If you are a beer novice, Pete will give you a brief lesson on hops, IPA and beer crafting. He makes a connection with his customers and makes them feel at home. I suggest you check it out as part of your downtown New Bern experience. read more

A bit difficult to find (behind a building of various buildings) but worth the detour. Had the Pale Ale which was refreshingly tasty. "Biergarten" is essentially a fenced in patio adjacent to the taproom, which is a singlewide. Worth a stop, as the brewmaster and patrons are quite friendly. read more

This place is a MUST STOP in New Bern, NC. Fun place, great crowd. The beer just ROCKS. Go there.

Stopped by here on 4th of July and unfortunately they were all sold out of their own beer ( still had NB on tap). However I loved the cozy little spot set back in an alley way. ( by the way if you try to find it by way of Google, its set behind the building that you will be led to) The owner Pete , chatted us up a bit though and gave great recommendations on what else to do and where to grab a tasty brew while in town. We ended up following his recommendations and had a fantastic couple of hours in town. Will definitely stop by again to try some beer! read more
