Nice little neighborhood strip shopping microbrewery. 10 taps available with 9 featuring in house made libations. We tried the New England hazy IPA and it was pretty decent, 7 out of 10 for me. Most pints are 6 bucks for a 16 oz. pour, though they did have a 12 oz. pour stout that was 7 bucks. Not a ton of eating inside, but maybe room for 30 folks seated in chairs, couches, or at the bar. Plenty of free lot and street parking available and they have a large shaded outdoor area with picnic tables and chairs. Music playing pretty loud on speakers both inside and out. Not a sports bar feel...way more a place to just chill and not get excited. Pet friendly. Bring your own food is encouraged with a nice pizza place called Slice of Life in the same strip shopping center, as well as a Smithfields Chicken restaurant right in front of the brewery. They have a schedule on their Insta and website as to when they'll have certain food trucks. Small selection of hats, tees, etc available iside. One significant bummer, no wifi, which is a super inexpensive and easy thing to correct. read more

We've been looking forward to checking this place out since learning r that Pine Valley was going to get a neighborhood brewery. We went last night with some friends and enjoyed the beer. I had the apricot blonde. It was a solid beer, well balanced, crisp and light. They had a bunch of IPAs from guest breweries and my husband had their IPA and said it was pretty good. The decor is nice but it's when you compare all the other breweries in town it's missing something. It's great if you just want to drink a beer but it's pretty basic otherwise. Maybe it's just in its infancy but having a food truck or games or trivia night might add to the appeal. We'll certainly go back since the beer was good and it's nice to have something so close. read more

Easy to find, plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, both of which are dog friendly! Service was super friendly. Very kid friendly, as they even have toys for them to play with. Good selection of beers, but IPAs seem to be their specialty. Nice, welcoming environment. Definitely recommend! read more

Stumbled onto this place while in Wilmington for work so I figured I would check it out. The place was surprisingly busy for a weekday evening. Smallish space with a nautical theme located at the end of a strip center. The space is nice enough, even if a bit spartan and bare. They had a a handful of their own beer on tap as well as a handful of guest taps of what I assume are other local breweries. I got a flight so I could try a few of the beers, they seem to be a little IPA heavy, but all of the beers I tried were fairly good. The bartender was friendly enough and fairly attentive. Overall a decent place, that I don't think has been open for too long. I look forward to stopping back in next time I am in Wilmington read more

My last name is Trout so it was kind of obligatory that I check out this new-ish (2021) brewery. It's located at the end of a strip mall. There is maybe one table outside, seats at the bar, and additional tables inside. The sun was very bright coming inside, so don't feel shy about pulling down the shade along the wall. I got their prickly nectar sour which wasn't bad, and my friend said his IPA was fine. read more

Cool new brewery in the Pine Valley area. We came in shortly after they opened and got the low down on the name... the brewers had a boat with a fish on it. Some people said it looked like a drum and others said a trout. The DrumTrout was born! Cheers to that! They had 4 beers, a rosè seltzer and 7 guest taps. I really liked their Apricot blonde and the Fish Widow ipa. Looking forward to coming back! read more

This place is a gem! The animal rescue I volunteer for had an event today and DrumTrout hosted. It is a small place on the corner of a shopping center surprising close to my house. It was bright and inviting. We were greeted immediately with enthusiasm. Not only were they open and friendly with the rescue and but the tiny place was packed and they made sure to greet everyone the same. They have a nice seating area outside and have food trucks often. They have local beers and, of course, pet friendly! I will be going back. read more

Cool little brewery, perfect for families. Right in a shopping center with a decent amount of their own brews. They also have non alcoholic and wines to choose from. Tons of kids snacks and toys to play with and indoor/outdoor seating. My favorite beers were the porter and ESB. Little far for us but when we are nearby, we will definitely pop back in. read more

Great beer, great service, fun place. What's not to like? Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good selection of beers and good atmosphere. They have food trucks every now and then and when they don't there's an awesome Thai place in the same location. Make sure to try the apricot blond ale. It's worth going for that one alone. You will not be disappointed. read more
