    4/5 December 2024. We stopped here while visiting Charlottesville before Christmas in 2024. We arrived shortly after they opened and had a couple flights. The beer was good and varied in style. If you're looking for lighter low alcohol beers they have that. If you're looking for heavier options they have that too. The bartenders took good care of us and had some good recommendations. The atmosphere we relaxed and they had some regulars that filtered in as we were enjoy our flights. Particularly in the winter when you're looking for something to "warm you up" this is definitely a good stop. It's a bit out of the way but worth a stop.

    Driving through town but had to stop by to have a pint. I had the Broken Logic IPA (WC). It was delicious and smooth! I tend to like the NE hazy IPA's better but when I have a good West Coast IPA I realize how dangerously good they can be. I could easily drink 3 of these quickly. Drink safely!

    This was one of my fav breweries that we visited while in Charlottesville. I liked the vibe, just a laid back brewery scene. I tried a flight (you get your choice of 5 beers), I selected the broken logic IPA, al-kindi, formal fallacy DIPA, 109 east pale and here for it. My husband ordered the scytale stout. We both really enjoyed both the beers and service. Decipher is Veteran owned and a must visit.

    It's 96 and scorching outside, where do you go? A brewery of course. We grabbed a late lunch and took it over to Decipher. Our pups are currently in training so we thought it was a good chance to multitask. I like quite a few of their beers and settled for the 151. It is a light, easy drinking Hefe. We were warned that this batch tasted a little different due to the power going out for a bit during the brew process. Let me tell you... I'll gladly make sure the power goes out everytime they brew this beer. A lot less clove and more bananas and bubble gum in this one. Big winner in my book!

    A little more off the beaten path for charlottesville breweries, but Decipher beer sure does the job. We happened to stop on our way home from the Wool Factory and were pleasantly surprised to see Decipher's extensive beer selection. They have a very open and airy indoors and outdoors area, which makes it an ideal location for socially distanced outings during COVID. We look forward to returning to try more of the beers soon!

    Decipher is amazing. Hidden gem. You gotta go! Kolsch is my favorite if you like a light beer with great flavor.

    Decipher is one of the newer local breweries in the area. A group of 4 veterans (3 Navy, 1 Air Force) own the brewery. They support local causes and often host events for organizations such as the SPCA. Today they were supporting the Girl Scouts by hosting a beer and cookie pairing. My favorite pairings included the Lemon-Ups with the Broken Logic IPA (because of the citrus hops) and the Samoas with the Scytale Stout. Outside of the pairing, my favorite Decipher Beer is the 80/-(shilling). It's an anytime beer with a sweet, caramel malt profile. Hopefully, our community will support this brewery as much as these folks support the community.

    This is an amazing location next to an art park (which hosts a farmers market on Saturdays). They…read morehave a lot of indoor seating, which was great for us because we want to sit for a while to eat and read without feeling we were inhibiting them from seating other people. There is also outdoor seating. I had their Trail Blazin Chili while my spouse and one of their salads. Both were delicious! The service was wonderful - attentive without hovering. We're looking forward to being in Charlottesville again and visiting this location!

    Big portions, plenty of seating, wide variety of drink options. Extra parking at IX park if it's…read morebusy. Food was good and served pretty quickly. Trendy vibe with friendly staff. We didn't feel rushed and were able to talk, but the background noise can be a bit loud. Not the place for quiet conversations but enjoyably vibrant if you are there for some good feed and local brews. Friend and I split the steak and fries and the hummus plate. Enjoyed a few "spirited" drinks. Gave a 4 star only because parking is not super handicap accessible and the background noise is a bit more than my usual preference, but all in all, great place
