Weasel Boy Brewing - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

Pizza was pretty good -both the chicken barbecue and the sausage and pepperoni Service was spot on Lots of parking across the street read more

This is definitely one of the coolest micro breweries that I've been to. It's in an old warehouse that apparently used to make glass molds. I only know this because there was an older gentleman at the bar who said his dad used to work there. The space is super basic with just enough decor to make it really cozy as well. It's situated on the river, so if you're sitting at the end of the bar you can look out the window and see the water. They've kept the place pretty much intact from it's original use, which I think adds to the charm. The bar tender was super welcoming and friendly, and so was everyone around the small bar. I only had their West Coast IPA, and it was on point. When I'm back in Zanesville I will definitely return. read more

Stopped tonight for dinner with family. The pizza was delicious. We tried several different ones for the table. We also tried the nachos, meat and cheese, and breadsticks. The beer they have on tap was also good. Service was fast and good. The inside was a fun taproom or distillery vibe. read more

Great little gem hidden next to the river. The mango wheat my wife had was tasty and I enjoyed the cider. Pizzas were both good as well. Went with the Jenny pizza and not disappointed. Great mix with a non traditional assortment of toppings. Next time we are back in the area we will stop by for sure! read more

Weasel Boy Brewing - Jenny pizza - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

It was my 4th or 5th time here last night (03/08/24) and it's always been great! The pizzas are fresh and delicious, the beer is consistently good, and the service and ambiance is inviting and friendly. The live music on the weekends is always a plus. Additionally, I found out that they have rum nights on Wed and Thursdays - I'll have to check it out! Do I recommend and will I return? Absolutely! read more

Weasel Boy Brewing - The business with jalapeño and poblano peppers - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

Very cool brewery with a fun vibe, I enjoyed the living room set up. The beers for me were just fine, nothing too exciting or different. Service was just okay too. They may have pizza, it smelled good, but again the workers weren't very informative to us when we asked questions. I heard great things about this place so I was disappointed, but maybe it was an off night. read more

What a great atmosphere! The staff, Laurie, James, and Justin, were fantastic! They make great cocktails, beer, and pizza! We couldn't find an uber and Laurie graciously drove us back to our hotel! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We will be back for sure! Thank you for your kindness and good drinks, food, and fun! read more

Pizza is tasty and so is their beer! A server was really nice and prompt. I also really love their location, it's so nice to be able to see the water from the patio. read more

On the way to a family event we stopped in Zanesville overnight and set out to find a good brewery. We found this great spot on the river after exploring a closed road. We had a great seat on the patio overlooking the river and had a very good BBQ Chicken Pizza. Very laid back with a good percentage of regulars to give it that homey feel. read more

Weasel Boy Brewing - Overlooking you on the patio. - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

This place hits on all cylinders. Great beers, awesome food, and quite possibly the zaniest regulars I have ever met. I felt at home right away and I could have stayed there all night. Don't sleep on Weasel Boy, this is the best time you can have in Zanesville. Ask for a riverside fire... read more

If you're going through Zanesville go to Weasel Boy. It's worth a little trip off the interstate. Probably the best beer in this area of Ohio. Located in a cool old building. There's a nice view of the river from the patio seats. I had the Brown Stoat Stout. It's one of the medium beers. This isn't light but it's not too hoppy. It's pretty easy to drink. They let you have free samples. It's about $5 a pint at happy hour, which is Tuesday to Friday until 7. A lot of seasonal beers are constantly being rotated. There's a large variety of taste. It has lighter ales and lagers like the Ornery Otter. There's also something heavy like the Sour Cherry Stout. It also has some food. Stuff that goes good with a beer like bread and pizza. Location is fun. Maybe not fun to get to. This is on a twisted road by the river along a cliff in one of the more rustic parts of town. read more

Weasel Boy Brewing - Brown Stoat Stout - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

I'll probably need to give this place another try sometime. But first impressions mean a lot. They didn't do anything wrong, I just didn't find much to come back for. It's in a strange location off the beaten path. I get it though. It's a cool building on the river. I enjoyed the indoor space. Great decor and he bar area was cool. The bartender was nice enough. I had a flight so I could taste several of their beers. The ones I remembered were Dancing Ferret IPA, Brown Stoat Stout, and Romping Weasel, the last of which was my favorite. But nothing that I wanted more of enough to get a pint. As I said, I'd give it another shot, but I guess I'll need more of a reason to stop in again. read more

Absolutely the best place to get a craft beer in the City Of Zanesville. I've been here for a long time. Brownstown is my favorite. Come see these lovely people here at Weasel Boy brewery!! read more

Weasel Boy Brewing - Muskingum university band! - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

Weasel Boy holds a special little place in my heart. I've been coming here for good craft brews for about 8 years now, long before local breweries became a big deal and they started popping up left and right. I can honestly say this place has become a home away from home! The owners Jay and Lori are passionate, fun people who take business seriously but know how to enjoy themselves throughout the process of running a phenomenal business. Over the years they've grown from biz owners to great friends. The atmosphere is amazing and there's a lot of opportunity to catch some good live music while you're there. If there isn't a band scheduled that night, don't worry! There's always amazing art on the walls. It's somewhat of a gallery and that can leave you entertained for a good while. NOW - the beer! The beer here is amazing and I love how it rotates throughout the year allowing for great seasonal brews to be showcased. Their IPA is freakin' awesome and their Anastasia Russian Imperial Stout is to die for! They've won many awards for their brews and once you have one, you'll easily see why. They also regularly have fun events to attend. If you ever get a chance to come by for Halloween, you won't regret it! They have a great costume contest and its always a fun time. If you're looking for a good place to get a beer, maybe some pizza, and enjoy some live music and good company, Weasel Boy is an awesome choice. You won't be disappointed! read more

Good beer. Good Pizza. Good service. A friendly micro-brewery with a pleasant atmosphere.

Alex is an amazing bartender, the relaxed atmosphere and great beer was only topped by the speculator pizza we tried all the flavors of everything and we not disappointed. Even though we are visitors of the area we will put them on a must stop with our our next time in Zanesville. read more

Weasel Boy Brewing - a pint of beer on the bar - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

Visited on First Friday. Entertainment and crowd was good. Tiki room drinks were great. Will definitely be back soon for a brew!

It's been a while since we've been and I was really looking forward to it today. The quality has dropped significantly since our last visit. The breadsticks were overcooked, as were both pizza crusts. The beer didn't taste as good either. Really disappointed. read more

First time here! It's so close to the highway and hotels it should be a destination! The pizza was flavorful, on a wheat crust, and not greasy! The otter ale was delicious! I loved the various sitting areas-comfy chairs near the bar, an outdoor view of the river, a tiki room open during certain hours, art gallery, and the musicians perform right on stage with the brewing vats! Ample parking in a lot right across the street. Nice owners! We drove over 90 miles to hear Davey O. from Buffalo perform. It was a wonderful getaway! Owners gave us a tour and made us feel very welcome! We will be back!! I also rarely review places-that's how impressed I was! I live in Ohio not San Fran-Couldn't figure out how to change my location. read more

A random Wednesday night. Wife & I thought pizza & beer sounded good. Hadn't been here in awhile. Ew boy, it will surely be even longer before we return. 1) My Scottish Ale was poured with zero head and tasted even flatter than it looked. 2) My regular salad was a bowl of brown lettuce. 3) Our "the buisness" pizza was way under cooked. Ya'll offer two things. Beer & Pizza. And boy ya sure did fail to deliver on both. What a disappointment. read more

We stopped in Zanesville for the night on a cross country road trip. Found the Weasel Boy on a wednesday evening in February, so didn't get to enjoy the outside, but inside was first class, casual but friendly. The brewery is understandably popular with the patrons of the adjacent businesses. Excellent beers and well prepared food. Highly recommended. read more

My favorite Zanesville hang. This place is hip and the beer has flavor. The salads are really special and I love the owners!

Went in and got the Scottish ale and it was excellent. Wife got the kolsch and it was style appropriate. They have their own parking lot. Good enough for me. read more

Family and friends stopped while driving through Zanesville. Food was good. Beer, service, and atmosphere were average. Glad we gave it a try, but probably won't go back. read more

My review here is mixed...pizza - stone oven grilled, absolutely OUTSTANDING! No lumpy wimpy! The large size was MORE then enough for 2 people! Beer - first, you gotta know...I'm NOT a beer expert. Only know what my brother taught me. My first beer was very flat, The Ornery Otter. Bartender, Ben, was very nice & replaced it with a Mango Wheat. That was pretty good...but not fabulous. The Plaid Ferret Scottish Ale was tasty & had potential...I'm wondering if the lines need cleaned.(?) The staff here are outstanding, very friendly & accommodating. The location is super nice. This is a Brewery with FANTASTIC potential! They do have an outdoor patio where we were allowed to have our dog, & gave us a water bowl! Outstanding! The view is very nice, a teensy bit of tree trimming could probably get get somebody a couple free beers! it's peaceful here & I would say one helluva place to unwind! There were some flies - they could put out those little fly guns & have tournaments! Ha ha! If I had the bucks I'd buy this place in a New York minute because I think some fabulous food, beer, music could happen! Don't miss this joint, even if you're a beer snob. Maybe today is just an off day? I don't live in the area so probably can't follow up in short order but I really do like it here a lot. . read more

I'm a Weasel Boy... and I'm proud of it. It's my favorite bar on the East side of Ohio. Any time I am able to find myself at a bar stool with some time on my hands I'll make sure I'm sitting at Weasel Boy. I tell you, there is something different about this place. Something that feels like home. the relaxing vibe, the good people, and the outstanding service. I personally like to hang out in the couch area while live bands play on the back stage. The brews, honestly, are my favorite that I have ever had out of Ohio. There I said it. Beer, pizza and pretzels, put it on my tab and lets stay a while. Not to mention the owners are extremely cool. I'm a video production student, and they allowed us to shoot a scene for independent film my team was working on over the summer and they let us in with no problems. Great people. I can't stress that enough. read more

Fantastic stone oven pizzas with crispy crust! Beer selection was awesome once you got past the light beers! The feel of the place was very eclectic!! Totally worth the drive! read more

Microbrewery in Zanesville! Growing hops on the patio overlooking the Muskingum River. Good selection of beer without going too crazy with the hops and the ABV(sorry hopheads). Best place to stop by for a beer in Z town. The food is average to below average standard brewery fare as I remember from the last time I ate here over a year ago. read more

Pizza is all they serve, if their menu had a couple more options (even just apps) they would have a five star rating. Now that's my personal opinion because I like to eat. Their beers were very good and their bartenders were great to talk with. Their wheat-crust pizza was also very good. I had a lot and still left the place without feeling the ITIS. I'd go back when in the mood for pizza most definitely. read more

Weasel Boy Brewing - Weasel Boys Trailer - Brewpubs Near Me - Zanesville, Ohio

Weasel Boy serves some of the best beer I've ever had. I'm surprised saying this considering it's located in zanesville, usa--home of fast food restaurants and used car lots. The vibe is fantastic with a great view of the river. There is a porch area out back with some chairs; provides a great view and chill environment. The staff is also laid back and more than happy to answer your questions about one of their beers. (They serve about a dozen or so at any one time.) Not only does Weasel Boy sh- - on the rest of the bars in zanesville, I would happily go here if it were located in NYC, SF, etc. (May seem like an awkward comment, but if you live in zanesville you would understand. There is nice, and then there is zanesville nice.) read more

A wonderful brewery, a great find, and yet another reason to stop into Zanesville, even if you're only on your way through on I-74. The beer was fantastic. I especially liked the IPA and the stout. But even beer styles that I don't usually like were done particularly well at Weasel Boy. (For example, I usually shy away from fruit beers. But at Weasel Boy, the Mango Wheat and the Pawpaw Ale had only a hint of fruit -- enhancing the flavor of the beer but not masking it.) Oh yeah, and who doesn't appreciate a place that makes beer out of the pawpaw, Ohio's native fruit! I would give them five stars, but the music -- although good -- was just way too loud. read more

You like craft enterprises? Of course, you do. That's why a little trip to Zanesville is on your list of "possibilities." Right? Pottery, acrylic arts, weaving, carvings. And of course, the Y-bridge and the giant vase Stonehenge. Well then, add another footnote. This one about Weasel Boy brewery. Write, "Have dinner at Muddy Misers and walk next door to Weasel Boy." OK, I'm done. Well, almost. I recommend the walleye ruben or crab cakes at Misers, and the Mad Ferret Scottish Ale at Weasel Boy. Or the Bitter Sable Black IPA. It's a hoot. Or whatever sound a sable makes. Do they actually make any sounds? If they do, or could, I'm sure they'd say, "I'm proud to be a part of Weasel Boy." Even if weasels aren't their zoological pals. Ripped flesh or otherwise. Sorry. Don't ask. By the way, they have a vintage audio setup in the bar area that reminds me of why I became so enchanted with musical exploration over 40 years ago. Hey, please don't judge. At least don't tell me about it if you do. Sliding along the musical thread, Weasel Boy has live music regularly. Hope you catch some after a day poring over the crafts of Zanesville. Cheers. read more

We came to Weasel Boy on a Friday afternoon. It was a bit confusing coming in for the first time - there are two separate rooms and not a whole lot of direction, but a super nice girl figured we were unfamiliar and helped us out! You seat yourself and they serve food - I saw a lot of soups and pizzas. We were only there for the beer... there was a good selection of beers, with a slight tendency towards hoppier beers (like most microbreweries right now i feel like). I had the mango wheat and the feisty fisher amber ale. I really liked both! I'm partial to the amber ale. The bartender warned me before he poured it that it was a bit hoppy, which was considerate of him, but I didn't really think it was really! My date had the Dancing Ferret and the Hoppy Weasel - the Hoppy Weasel being the favorite. They had some free pretzels to snack on but I think you have to ask for them? I thought the staff was very friendly (we talked about my car so that's an automatic good time to me) but the bartenders did not like filling growlers - I think this is somewhat of a trend I've been observing but not understanding at microbreweries. It is a bit of a local place - to be expected in a smaller town like Zanesville, I'd think. The bartenders definitely preferred serving and recognized many of the more regular patrons. I think there's some sort of program where you can get a mug and possibly get a discount on each beer you get? I'm not sure - I didn't ask but I was trying to snoop around (unsuccessfully). I think we'll be back when we come back to Zanesville and I'm thinking I'll want to try the flight, which is all 10 beers they currently have on tap, and it's only $8.50 during happy hour (M-F 4-7PM). For a fun drinking game while you're visiting Weasel Boy, drink for everytime I said some version of the word "hoppy". But honestly my number one question was why was Weasel Boy not named Weazel with a Z for Zanesville!! read more

We love Weasel Boy. We stopped Thursday while camping nearby and it was great. We got a flight of everything they have for 8 bucks. We then order a pizza and out beverage of choice. I got the Anastasia which was a limited Christmas is July celebration. It was awesome. All the brews are well done. The pizza had mi ex reviews on here so I was a little concerned but it ended up being very good. They have open mic night on Thursday which is fun to watch. It is small but a great brewery. We will return. Highly recommend and service is great. read more

We have gone to this Brew Pub twice now and have enjoyed both the beer and pizza each time. We had quite the interesting experience to say the least with other patrons in the restaurant. But more on that craziness later. Their menu is limited but they definitely deliver! They use local ingredients for many of their pizza toppings as well as their own brew added to the pizza crust. I ordered their specialty pizza "The Jenny" and was not disappointed. Very delicious! Service of overall so-so. The servers are somewhat impatient with their patrons. For example, we asked to keep a beer menu on the table and the waitress told us to just look at the barely legible chalk board across the room for the beer selection. We also observed her rolling her eyes over something minor. Little things like that can easily be improved for a better experience. The "interesting" part of the story is as follows: The night we went was a Comic Book/Super Hero night. There was a contest for people to dress up as such. There was a man walking around the room where patrons were eating and he was dressed in a Jason Voorhees costume. He intentionally was walking very slowly and stopping to stare at people eating in order to freak them out. I understand it's a night to dress up and have fun, but don't harass people not involved in the party trying to get a rise out of them. None of the staff asked this man to cease this behavior. His pizza finally came out and he took off the mask. Harmless, yes.... inappropriate.... I'd say so. Regardless, we will be back.... hey the pizza and beer is amazing.... you can't argue that! read more

Beer and pizza? Yuck! LOL I'm happy this place is near me. The beer is always great and their pizza goes with it PERFECTLY. read more

Weasel Boy is absolutely worth the drive from Columbus. Great food, brews, and an awesome space. The menu is fairly simple: a few salads, breadsticks, and pizza. The breadsticks are actually just a pizza crust, cut up, and served with their pizza sauce. The crust is whole wheat, which I loved, and nice and flavorful. The sauce is very fresh and delicious. It was served cold with the breadsticks, which I didn't prefer, but it was still really good. The pizza was great- we had the veggie and the spicy one (I don't remember the name). I loved that both pizzas were topped with pablanos! The salad was basic, but I really like their house made vinaigrette. All of their beers were great! My favorite was the paw paw pale ale, and we brought home a growler of that. I also tried the dancing ferret IPA- yumm!! Between the three of us, I'm pretty sure we tried every one on tap that night, including the "dirty dancer", which is a combo of the stout and the IPA. I loved every single beer. And they are priced well- $4 for a pint, $3 during Happy Hour. We went to see Angela Perley and the Howlin Moons- Weasel Boy brings good local-to-Columbus bands to encourage the city folk to make the trip. The sound was great, and the backdrop of the brewing equipment is super cool, too! Do yourself a favor, load your car with all your favorite people, and drive on out! read more
