    The pizza (margarita) was the best I've ever had...the outdoor sitting area and music were fun too!

    Loved this brewery (full disclosure, the band that was playing- Night Shift- was amazing and the…read moremain basis for this review!). The beer was good and the ambiance was fun. Lots of bonus points for being dog friendly! Also enjoyed the fire pits and Cornhole games! Service was friendly and efficient.

    We were visiting the area and wanted to check out a local brewery…read more We arrived shortly after 7pm after parking in a small parking garage down the street since their parking lot was full. It was a beautiful fall evening and there were a good number of people enjoying both the outdoor and indoor spaces. We made our way inside and were impressed they also had a live band playing on the stage. We looked around a bit, enjoying the industrial feel of the building and the music. We took a place in line and ultimately I chose a pint of the Bareback Bronco IPA. We love good swag so we made our way to look at the offerings. My wife quickly commented on their cute and clever designs which are printed on soft, comfortable cotton shirts, hoodies, etc. They also had a good selection of assorted discount t shirts available in small, xxl and xxxl sizes. The band engaged the audience with the Chris Stapleton favorite, Tennessee Whiskey which was fun. We ultimately decided to enjoy one of the high top tables outside while I drank my beer, which I enjoyed and ended up purchasing an additional 4-pack for our long weekend in Roanoke. Great stop, if you enjoy local breweries, make sure to stop in. We noticed they are also open Sundays. We did see some people with food that appeared to either have been delivered or they brought with them.

    Went here to celebrate the last day of classes and grab a quick flight, which I forgot to take a…read morepicture of (as per usual). We tried four different beers, with our favorite being the Coconut Migration porter. The bartender had great recommendations and was very kind and patient when we were figuring out what we wanted to order. The inside had a cool vibe I would describe as industrial meets greenhouse, with lots of board games to keep you entertained. The patio seating is also beautiful, and we sat and watched a storm roll in while enjoying our brews. We didn't try the food, but the table next to us seemed to really enjoy the food. We will absolutely be back to get a new flight (they have a large selection of beers to try) and a meal to enjoy at sunset in the future.

    This is the hangout spot! Check their hours because sometimes they have private events, but they…read morealso have trivia and other fun events weekly, too. The beer is good, the non-alcoholic options are also good (I like their ginger beer & lemonade). Recently got a summer racket which was their in-house light beer mixed with their in house lemonade - yum! Their food is also good, smash burgers and fries being the standout. Last time we got some of their pretzels as an app, but they were more like pretzel sticks that you warm up from frozen. Not taste bad, but just not a big pretzel like I had expected. Overall, great space, inside and outside. Parking lot can get full so people often park in the street. Tucked in a scenic and quiet area.

    My husband and I were passing through during the holidays going from Tennessee to New Jersey and…read morefound place only 15 minutes off the highway. There was live music which was great. The beer was solid and we drink a lot of beer. We didn't want to get too full so we ordered 3 appetizers and all of them were AWESOME. Not kidding. My husband was very satisfied. We got the Tenderloin Crostinis, Spinach and artichoke dip with chips, and peel and eat shrimp that was cook in their own beer. So. Freaking. Good. As for beer, I got the No. 4 Porter (loved it) and my husband got the 1/2 Shot IPA (loved it). Service was great. Our waitress was very sweet. As it's winter, we didn't get a chance to enjoy the back patio but the inside was very cozy. We sat in a booth and it was nice and secluded. You can even see into the room where the magic happens! If you're in the area, I definitely recommend. My husband already wants to come back on our way back down to Tennessee.

    Wow. Horrible business model. Clearly someone with way too much money and doesn't care about the…read morebusiness at all. Stopped by during Family Weekend at Radford and I was really excited to support a local small business. First tried Friday night at 7...they already reach their max number of tables for the evening. Not that it was busy...they were just closing early...parking lot was mostly empty. Figured, ok, must be really good... Came back Saturday for Lunch. Place was completely empty. I will say the building itself is beautiful. Wanted some of their beer...anything...I didn't care. The "chiller was broke" so none of their own beer. Umm...what? You couldn't put this on the website? Why would I got to a local brewery to have a beer from a national chain? Ugh. Oh well...already seated...so we stayed. My daughter was excited for the food anyway. Service was decent...Better than their beer they don't brew. LOL. Food takes a while, and was pretty good. Mashed potatoes were good. Chicken was ok. Daughter liked the loaded fries and ranch was really good. Maybe if the brewery brewed their own beer it would be a 4 or a 5. I might try again...not sure with the business model or lack thereof as it is, and apparent lack of upkeep on the brewing equipment. If you try it...CALL AHEAD! Ask to make sure they are open and still have seating for the evening. Ask if they are brewing beer! Either way...fix the chiller or remove the word Brewery from the name. ‍

Nice outdoor seating. Service: 5 - Quick and informative. Food: N/A Cultural/Political Agenda (1-5): 5 -Everyone is welcome. No preachy nonsense or virtue signaling, just beer, as it should be.

    We enjoy visiting local breweries and decided to stop in at AFOG on a Sunday evening at 6:30pm…read moreafter calling and confirming their hours. The brewery was easy to find and we originally thought it was housed inside an old school building but later learned it was previously a health services building. In addition to AFOG, there are also residential apartments in the remaining adjoining part of the building. There is a large outdoor area where a birthday celebration was happening amongst a small group. We proceeded inside and were immediately greeted by Sam. She helped me identify the IPA options and i immediately chose their Millennial Serum, which is a hazy imperial style that I enjoy. We looked around a bit, snapped some photos and looked at their swag. I'm a big tie dye guy and I was happy to see they had a great selection of AFOG tie dye shirts in my size. We decided to sit at the bar while I enjoyed my beer and chatted about our day. We also enjoyed talking with Sam and learning more about the brewery. We learned they are soon opening their second location in Buchanan, Virginia. Great stop, we felt welcomed, the beer was delicious and I have a new tie dye that will remind me of our time in Roanoke.
