“Great beer!! Must try their chocolate beer, also offer non alcoholic cider. Nice place, dog friendly inside and out. Families with children were enjoying the outdoor area, inside was packed for karaoke night. 4 starts because of no hot food available but inside you can buy snacks like chips and eat.“

“I was one of the 500 train people that invade Copper Hill each day. Decided to skip shopping and go to Buck Bald. Great decision! Really good and varied selection of beer. Loved the Kolsch and Ginger Beer. The music and vibe was also great. The server, aside from his Wichita State shirt, was knowledgeable and welcoming. Would stop here every time.“

“Nice establishment with a small town feels yet very inviting. Met good people here during Blue Ridge train layover ride. The bartenders were knowledgeable about the area and served cold and refreshing drinks. We had the pleasure in meeting one of the owners, Colleen and local Mira, who gave great recommendations of a place to stay with all around stories of Copperhill and places nearby. Also, we were bring outside food into brewery and eat while drinking. Highly recommend if you want a freshly brewed beer, drink wine and chill atmosphere.“
