Back for a second time. Out hiking on a hot June day. We got the Mexican lager! It was light and crisp, what you want on hot day. Rating them a 5. We sat out on their little deck area with our dogs and enjoyed their sandwiches in the shade. Next time in the area will stop by again. read more

A group of friends and I stopped for dinner one night. They have a fair selection of beers (really interested in IPAs). I ordered the Turkey BDA and it was just okay. It had turkey, crispy onions, lettuce, pickles and aioli. It came with a few chips. It's self serve so no service rating. The place is large and atmosphere nothing special. I may come back, not sure. read more

Brighten Brewing - Turkey BDA - Brewpubs Near Me - Copley, Ohio

We were just there for a beer, then hubby felt compelled by good beer to have a 2nd. And we decided to take home a four-pack. Good sign. This place is spacious. Probably good for groups. Limited food menu, but guy next to me said his chipotle turkey club was great. Darts, pool, pinball. And bought a bar of soap. read more

Brighten Brewing - Various Guords (pumpkin ale) with spiced rim & Greenfield Hazy IPA - Brewpubs Near Me - Copley, Ohio

Would have given 5 stars had it not been for the ghastly smell of sewer or gas coming from goodness knows where! My husband enjoyed two really tasty beers and I had an N/A beer. He wanted to stay but I couldn't stomach the stench. The service was friendly and awesome. The crowd was chill; there were kids running about but not crazy. We will try again and hopefully the smell will be gone! read more

The bar staff very nice, helpful and offer sample to try before you buy. I had a lemon drop martini actually-usually have beer but this was excellent! Husband had two different dark beers (one like coffee flavor-great beers). Ruben sandwich had lots of corned beef and was very good; chicken salad excellent on ciabatta bread. Place is spacious, casual, and clean. Big enough that you could bring well behaved kids, wholesome atmosphere. Unassuming from outside as Copley has small shopping plazas, so no need to dress up but would also be fine if you do. No outdoor patio. Went 4:30 on Saturday, beautiful drive to get there-and several other places (Wolf Creek) nearby if want to make a night of it. We do Summit Brew Path which is how we found this brewery years ago. Will go back! read more

A brewery oasis smash in the heart of Copley Ohio. I had the Doom Imperial stout, good God almighty....phenomenal stout! From seating to service was been me up Scottie fast. Very calm laid back atmosphere. The owners are passionate and it's a passion you can taste! read more

Don't get the flatbread pizzas. These are premade frozen cheese flat breads that have the toppings added. The crust gets charred in the hot oven before the cheese melts and before the toppings are heated. read more

Brighten Brewing has a very friendly, welcoming staff, fantastic beer selection, tasty beer, and plenty of tables. It was easy to converse; not too loud and echoey. read more

What a great place! Stopped in here on a whim. Fabulous food great beer five stars will definitely be back.

Fun place to chill for a while and enjoy some refreshing brews! Many choices of craft brew, made in house, for one to try. Highly recommend a flight so you can try 4. A smoked beer is offered. Very good! Unique flavor profile. Staff is very helpful, friendly and can answer questions. They use chalk to write the numbers on the flight board of which brews one orders for the flight. This is good because I never remember what I order for flights of anything. Very spacious here! Great for groups too. Plenty of tables to sit at. There's a tv, pool table and board games available for guests to play. You need to stop by here if you are going through Copley. read more

We love Brighten Brew and have grown to love a pizza / beer tradition with the shop next door coming several times a month. Tonight; we tried Brightens new food menu and it was a huge miss for us. Very limited and in my opinion overpriced. Our pretzels ($9.50) consisted of 4 small pretzel sticks that were cold on the inside. Especially saddened to hear we can no longer bring outside food in, which will certainly impact our frequency of visiting. read more

Brighten Brewing - New food menu - Brewpubs Near Me - Copley, Ohio

So we got a couple flights and enjoyed all the beers we tried. My personal favorites were the duke which is a smoked dark beer and the GTB, green tea beer. We also got some pretzels that were great. I had one of the best French dip sandwiches. I'm a big fan of French dips and this one did not disappoint. There was a good amount of meat, it wasn't over cooked and not a bunch of fatty meat. We will definitely be adding Brighten to our go to list of breweries. read more

I am long overdue on posting this. We went to and event at Brighten a while back, and I have to say I was extremely pleased. The service was good, the beer was great, and the staff was awesome! They have games to play sitting around, which passed the time well. We were able to secure a tour of the back, and were able to taste some of the beer still in the tanks, which, it was an event, not sure you can just do that, but it was a nice touch! The food was served catered style, but was pretty great! It's been a while ago, so I don't remember specifically if they called them Rueben Balls or Sauerkraut Balls, but they were soo soo good. I also remember having really good meatballs! And the beer, as I mentioned was awesome! The brewer let us taste a smoked beer that was pretty good, their IPA's were delicious (Citra Slice was the best imo), their Stout, Doom was delicious and dark and complex, and I really liked the Ric, which is a lager. Awesome place, awesome food, awesome beer, awesome staff! Highly, highly recommend checking it out! read more

Great job Brighten.. Kristen, Brian & Crew! Did a meet and great at Brighten before my nephews wedding tomorrow. Great space, drinks, heavy apps and service. We appreciate you all! Perfect space for the family and out of town guests to meet - atmosphere was perfect. We will be back again! Thank you read more

Honestly a 3 is generous for this place for an Ohio Brewery. The food was pretty not great. We got the nachos & a sandwich - both were disappointing. The beers are okay. Im a wheat, lager, & stout girl, my fiance is a sour & ipa man so we balance each other out. The beers were okay - not really that impressed. The stout I got was pretty basic - not a lot of layers or complex flavors just "stout" flavored. The wheat beer was my favorite but nowhere near great. The service was great & the staff was friendly. People must love it because it was busy. read more

First time here. Beers seem very good for a new brewery. Friendly staff. They need to dim the lights a bit. Nachos could get an overhaul. But, give them a try. read more

Brighten Brewing - Bright Stone barley wine. - Brewpubs Near Me - Copley, Ohio

Little hidden gem we stumbled on while in the area. We popped in for lunch one Saturday; the beers were solid and food was surprisingly really good, way more than we expected from a little brewery. Love the small town local feel, stomachs and wallets were both satisfied. Would recommend, we plan on driving the extra few minutes from the overly commercialized fairlawn strip to this little oasis. read more

The space is quite large with the seating in the front and the brewed beer in the back. They have a few tvs but do not play the sound during games. The beers were good and they offer a seltzer option in which you can pick a syrup flavor to be added at no additional cost. This brewery is a great addition to the area. read more

Have tried this place six times. Love the beer and flavor your own hard seltzers. Had the Italian sandwich which was yummy. Bartenders were amazing. My only problem is every time we go there are a million kids running amuck screaming. Parents not watching their kids while the run around knocking over chairs. Goldfish crackers smashed on the ground. The noise level from kids screaming was off the chart. Not sure why this is happening after 9pm. Many people grumbling at the bar that this happens a lot. There is a nice large empty space by the pool tables that parents are using as a brewery Gymboree. Love this place but a little too family friendly for a brewery. read more

Nice to see another small brewery open in my area. Even better when the beer options offered are REALLY good. I recently tried the new Oh, Yeah double hazy IPA and was impressed. Local Medina County hops were used and it did not disaapoint. Can't wait for them to add food because the large pool table, dart boards and more make this a cozy local hang. read more

Almost perfect. Once they finally get food it will be a 5. Clean friendly place with great staff ( owners are always there, you can tell they care) read more

First time having the food and I think it's great! Service as always is top notch, had a few beers and bought some art work off the wall, a great day for me! The Quaker Square is now solidly one of my new favorite beers, some real squares in the reviews who wouldn't know a märzen from a natty lite. Good talk see ya out there read more

Great selection of brewed beers and seltzers. If you're looking for craftsmanship in brewing, this should be on your visitation list. I'll be back. read more
