While in Winston, we stopped into Wise Man to grab a beer with friends. I'm a big fan of a few of their beers, but unfortunately have only gotten to their brewery a couple of times. There was a great crowd that night, with people inside, and out enjoying their patio. They seemed to have an open mic night going with a variety of musical styles performing. It was a great crowd, and good energy. The staff were friendly, they offer a great variety of beer styles, something for all beer drinkers. We got a drink enjoyed it outside, while listening to the music. Though we didn't partake, they also had a food truck on site, offering dinner. Overall, a good visit, and good beer! read more

We were there to see a great band, who I will NOT name, as I do not want them associated unnecessarily with this review. It was standing room only this evening, and we had to park it near the door near the food truck. Being near the door in February, my daughter was getting cold. A woman came over, propped the door OPEN, and proceeded to video the band from half way out the door. She said something to my daughter about her being cold, which my daughter was honest about, but was ignored as she continued to video. As any father would do, I stepped in and asked to close the door as my family is cold, and went back to where I was standing. She proceeded to get in my face and say, "I'm the OWNER here and I'm getting a video" and went back to what she was doing. No I'm sorry, no recognition of her patron's needs. Just complete dismissal and rudeness. Needless to say, we didn't spend another nickel there, and never will. We left and will never be back as long as someone with that view of their patrons is still in charge. Zero stars for service and ownership regardless of how good their product may be. No thanks, Karen. read more

Nice open space with a large selection of drinks and an outside area to enjoy as well. Perfectly good stop when checking out all the breweries in the local area. Service was fast as well. read more

Wise Man Brewing - Hazy IPA - Breweries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

It was a crazy day, anticipating a big snow/ice event, but friends invited us and off we went! We are homebrewers and so have been frequenting this place since our friend and fellow homebrewer opened up 9 years ago. The brewery was packed and festive and the beers did not disappoint. I wasn't in a beer mood so I opted for the rum & coke slushy-refreshing but I'm pretty sure there is virtually no alcohol in it. Worked for me though, I was all about the flavor and in need of an icy drink. Bartenders were on top of things and no wait for anything we needed! Live music, a pizza truck outside, and a few vendors set up inside. Always a great time! read more

Stopped here before dinner... good service and yummy drinks! Cuban food truck was yummy too!

Wise Man was having a night market, which was such a cool idea! You could grab a drink from the bar and walk around the parking lot looking at different local vendors and their unique products. Pros: They had a lot of options for beer, seltzers, and pre-made cocktails for everyone to choose from. They had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the bartender was very patient while he let me try what I might like before I order it! They also had a lot of games for their customers to borrow! Cons: Their food truck said they were there until 10, but they closed at 9 and they didn't have any other food to offer. Would I go back? Yes, but I'd make sure I ate before! It's a great place to go with a group of friends read more

We go to Wiseman Brewery and Coffee House often, and their specialty lattes never disappoint. The cinnamon bun latte espresso is rich and comforting, with smooth espresso layered with sweet cinnamon and vanilla that truly tastes like a warm pastry in a cup. The peppermint mocha latte with almond milk is equally impressive, blending bold espresso with creamy chocolate and refreshing peppermint, all perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Both drinks are consistently well-crafted, cozy, and full of flavor, (might be seasonal and dissappear soon!). But this spot remains one of our regular go-to places for coffee, beer, good bands and fun parties! read more

Exploring the area and saw this brewery was open. We stopped in. The guys at the counter asked us what we like I like sours my husband likes boozy IPAs and stouts. So they created flights with our preferences in mind. All mind were spot on. Sense of Ease was by far my favorite. My husband liked all of his I don't think he had a clear favorite. While we were there. Outside had a food truck, we didn't check it out have no idea what the menu was like but inside there was a live DJ playing music from records and taking requests. So the music was all over the place genre wise but if you enjoy music it definitely was a vibe. Since this will be close to our new home we will definitely come back maybe for one of their upcoming summer events. read more

got into town almost an hour ahead of schedule for a nearby thing so I decided to hide out over here for a bit. it took me a minute to realize the 'drink here' and 'order here' spots at the bar are different spots... after confirming the absence of cider I requested a Magic Hyper Beam (apricotted sour) plus a token for the vendo-art thing :-) found a high-top near the roll-up that blocked the road for the musicians setting up for the evening - it would have been way less awkward had i known in advance but I guess that's why there's always a 'next time'... all in all it seems a decent place: snack wagon out front, beers are abundant and varied, lots of people but not crowded, with plenty of fresh air and daylight during the day, and doggoes..! if I lived near here and was at all social I'd probably be on my way here. read more

Fantastic tap room and outdoor patio with plenty of seating and breathing room for all with a perfect indoor/outdoor connection. The bar extends along the length of the taproom with several points of service for ease and efficiency. The variety of options had something that hit the spot for everyone. The Tropical Shirts Gose with Pomegranate and Passionfruit was everything I needed on a hot, humid day. It was a first time visit for me and great introduction to the brand. read more

Awesome place!!! Good bands. All the bartenders are awesome!!! Service is quick and efficient

The brew pub is low light with a rustic feel, sometimes they'll have bands playing here which is always a treat. The staff are kind & knowledgeable of the flavors of their beer. They don't serve food from a kitchen, but almost always have a food truck full of flavor to meet your hunger needs. One of the better brew pubs in the city and plenty of beer to try and LTO options as well! They also host events outside from time to time which is great for the local community. PS. Try one of their sour beers on draft if they're available! read more

Wise Man is always a great time. They do not have food onsite, however there is almost always a food truck set up there. The bartenders have always been friendly and efficient. I've been here when it's very busy and never had to wait very long to gety drinks. This is a very laid back atmosphere, great for hanging out with friends and having a good time. If you have a well behaved canine companion you can bring them as well. All in all a nice spot to grab a beer and hang with friends. read more

Wise Man is just my favorite. Great beer and even better staff. I love all the homies at WM. I have an entire group of friends that call ourselves "music bingo babes" because our group hangs started on Thursday's Wise Man music bingo nights. WM has a special place in my heart. They also do open mic night which my husband Chris Love likes to occasionally participate in. I also hear they do coffee now - which I haven't tried but need to asap :) read more

They are the perfect spot for date night, the attention is always good, and the food trucks they have are the best. The beers are really good and if you're not into beers they have other options. read more

Excellent service and ambience! I visited on a Sunday afternoon and they had a constant rotation of fresh tunes from an assortment of vinyls. Speaking of vinyls, there was a guest vendor with an outstanding vinyl catalogue--shoutout to @VillageVinyl.NC! It was perfection enjoying their German Pilsner while taking in the excitement of a first-time vinyl. For me, a new collection is born. They also bring in food trucks, and plenty of seating inside and outside. Love it! read more

My son and I went there for Halloween activities. They had a food truck with good food. The Halloween activities hadn't started yet.

Always a good time here. A busy hopping crowd and this Friday night there was music by Danny Dockery band w guest sit-in artist the talented Doug Davis a local favorite producer and musician. Although it was crowded we managed to get our drinks from the bar quickly and find a table. The bartenders are very knowledgeable about their multitude of craft beers that this establishment is known for. They also have a list of wines that are very good, I tried the prosecco a little more expensive at $7.00 as opposed to the excellent beers they have on tap but when you go to a beer place and ask for wine...what do you expect lol. They also have some nice ciders as well. Check out this place on the weekends, they always have a food truck and usually music and lotsa friendly people to meet. Cheers! read more

Love this spot. I don't really drink beer but they have a decent wine selection and their frozen drinks are delicious. The strawberry frose and the lemon drop never disappoint. They have food trucks every night and host a lot of local events/clubs (vinyl night, run/book/bike/yoga etc). I love coming here to grab a drink, catch up with friends, or catch up up on some reading. read more

Recently visited during their fall festival and love that they are always opening up the space for events and vendors. Inside the beer selection was extensive and had tons of unique choices. I opted for their house cider and it was a quality option that I would definitely go back to. We also were able to bring our dog and all the staff were very welcoming even going as far to bring him a treat. Loved their dedication to taking care of us and him. We will definitely be back. read more

If you are looking for a cool hang out in Winston-Salem that has a huge variety of beer, look no further! Wiseman brewing is excellent! I love and IPAs there, but they also have some neat collaborations and one off beers that you won't find anywhere else! I visited Wiseman a few days ago for the Krispy Kreme beer collaboration. I was so excited to find that music bingo was also happening that night!! Music bingo is my very favorite thing! If you have not tried it out you are missing out! This particular music bingo was different than the usual events I attend. Each game allowed for multiple winners, and when I say multiple I mean 20 or 30! I think everyone playing won! And best of all, the winnings were a free beer! Can't argue with that! I will definitely be back again for both the excellent beers and the music bingo! read more

Continuing with more craft beer adventures... Conceited Genius 2.0 was the one beer we had from Wise Man Brewing. This beer is a New England IPA that Steve and I enjoyed quite a bit. At this point I've had a lot of New England IPA's but this was one of the better ones from the string of them that we have had the last few years. So this beer is definitely something to try out if you enjoy New England IPA's! read more

One thing for sure, Wiseman has a large selection of beers, and several tasty ones. This Brewery is usually always popping and draws a large crowd. Live music is usually going. If you want to go for a night of drinking downtown, and don't mind heavier crowds, definitely check Wiseman out! read more

If your into sour beers the "tropical shirts" is really good. Lower ABV (4.2%) but a benchmark for fruited sours. Taco truck parked out back (taqueria lucianos) is really good so thats a plus after a couple beers. Open floor plan inside makes it seem much bigger and inviting. Excellent outdoor seating with umbrellas. read more

We always have a good time at Wiseman. The staff is alway friendly and it's alway clean. I do not always drink alcohol. I appreciate that they have a good selection of alternative beverage. I'm not much of a music person but music bingo on Thursday's was surprisingly fun. read more

Came here during Oktoberfest and LOVED IT! The ambiance and space is great for large groups and there is usually a great food truck onsite to get some snacks. Their beer selection provides something for everyone but I love all of their New England IPAs. Super juicy and refreshing and always fresh which is key for a good IPA. One of my favorite places in the triad to grab a beer! read more

Love Wise Man Brewing in Asheville, the Winston-Salem location does not disappoint. We enjoyed a flight of 4 beers, lots to choose from on the tap list. All were good, Scoop Dogg and Body Electric were my top two from what we tried. Bartender was awesome, helped with our final flight pick. Masks, very clear directions for navigating beer pick up and restrooms for social distancing, spaced out tables in and outdoor. read more

By far one of the best breweries in the triad if not in all NC. Their Conceited Genius 2.0 IPA is my favorite beer here, confidently can say that. The vibe is always good and I love the indoor/outdoor seating. Pre-covid, they would have live music. The staff is always great, always in a good mood. Food trucks available almost daily. They know what they are doing for sure when it comes to crafting good beer....I honestly love their beer this much. Always my go-to in Winston. COVID info: 21+ for what looks like after 8pm, social distancing, masks enforced, mask worn by staff. Additional picnic tables were added outside (on top of the original outdoor seating). read more

Love that they invite local vendors and have food trucks and other events frequently! It really helps bring the community together! We went for their fall festival and were able to get a special pup cup for our dog from one of the vendors. Inside they were very welcoming to our dog and brought him treats which he enjoyed. They had a good selection of unique beers and I was able to try a pumpkin spice beer! read more

Wiseman's is always such a nice spot to come and hang out with friends! I come here at least once a week and have some great beers while listening to the live music that usually goes on during weekend days! Not to mention that we usually stop by for music bingo on Thursday nights that is always a great time! The beers are always delicious and cold! Right now they have a great selection of sours. The servers are always great and are willing to give you a taste of beer if you'd like to try something before hand! Come check this place out, you won't be disappointed read more
