21 Best Craft Breweries near Garner

“I’ve never been to a brewery before where I could drink each and every beer. Usually it’s one or two that I will drink. This place is amazing! Each beer is actually great and the owners are even better! Wonderful, welcoming atmosphere that has quickly become our regular haunt. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great location and fun place to have a beer. Lots of board games.Indoor and outdoor seating and there’s a little outdoor alley way.Relaxed vibes. Massive fire pit and neat bicycle and motor decor throughout.Has been around for years and remains a great brewery in town.“

“Very nice place to grab a pint with friends. They turned an old house into a tavern, which gives it a homey feeling. The beer selection is from their brewery as well as some guest taps. As for their beer, they do a nice job with several different styles to choose from. While they did offer a 4 flight, it was limited to a promotion they were having. Would have been nice to be able to flight some of their other taps. However, they do let you have samples of their taps, so that helps. They are pet friendly, inside and out, so that is nice. First time there, but it won't be my last.“

“Great brewery to visit especially during events. Usually not too crowded when no events going on but gets very crowded during events. They offer free food at multiple events throughout the year and often have live music. About $6-$7/16oz beer.“

“I visited the other two Incendiary locations and enjoyed them both. I had a random Saturday available, so my daughter and I decided to check out the Raleigh location. We were not disappointed. The taproom is awesome! I'm not sure what the lighting in the bar is supposed to be, but it looks like lava, and that's pretty cool. Incendiary brews a ton of amazing beers, so that was never in question. The staff was awesome and we had an amazing time. I highly recommend this place to any craft beer drinker in the triangle.“

“Amazing environment for a brewery! Very unique with great prices on drinks!! There's different games in every room that you can play while you drink, as well as a free use pool table. I've always wanted to go into the exclusive offices inside the bank, & now you can! Bartender was extremely nice & attentive as well, overall 10/10 experience for sure. Will definitely be back!“

“THE best stouts around!!!! Amazing Imperial stouts with so many flavors, but beware!!! They are dangerous with ABV’s near 15% for most of them. Stop by the food hall next door for dinner and drop in for a night cap after. If you’re a beer aficionado, then this is a must stop.“

“Must try the smoothie beers here! Their IPAs are decent too if you prefer hoppy brews. I've tried a large range of their beers and not one of them has disappointed! The only downfall to this brewery is the location, which deserves to be more scenic.“

“This is a nice brewery in an unexpected place. We turned down a few roads and arrived at a strip mall where this brewery is located.It is very spacious both indoors and outdoors. They are also kid and dog-friendly. (There were families and dogs spread out in the expansive outdoor area). There was also a food truck parked on the corner.They have a variety of beer to choose from and they are located on the wall. I like how they display the beer. The only downfall was the plastic cups we received. There were half and half of plastic versus glass cups. People would go and get a new beer and come out with a plastic cup and then the next time would be glass. I would prefer glass over plastic. Not sure the reasoning behind not using only glass or only plastic. I'm not sure if we will be back but it would be nice when the weather is nice and you can enjoy the outdoor area.“

“I stopped in while passing through on my way back to Alaska. Had a fantastic experience, made all the better by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. I received helpful recommendations, was able to go on a quick tour, and thoroughly enjoyed my visit in its entirety. As someone who didn't know the local scene and semi-randomly selected Trophy based on google stars and the name, I had absolutely no regrets and would return in a heartbeat.“

“Location may make this taproom less than desirable to some, but they're missing out. The beers are great and it's one of the biggest taprooms in Raleigh. No matter how many people are there, it never feels crowded. The addition of food trucks makes it even better. This place is a great low key hangout if you want good beers and good people.“

“The Barrel Room at Lynwood Brewing Concern was a great place to host our Retirement Party. Bill Reynolds was easy to work with and provided one-stop-shopping for catering and setup/cleanup and allowed us to bring our own desserts for the event. And it was more affordable than many other venues. Thanks to the great Team at the Barrel Room!“

“Absolutely horrible, I ordered the pork shank. First it comes out cold and on a cold plate. So I sent it back. Next they bring it back to me and they added some lukewarm aju, now my mash potato have separated... and now i have mash potato soap. The shank was dry as hell and has Absolutely no FLAVOR. Not even salt and pepper!!!. It's like these new chef love to presentation but for get to flavor their food. Very nice plating, but the flavor is nonexistent. But let's be fair, white people don't like their food flavored. And this place makes sure they do not get any flavor at all. I would rather have a meal with flavor than a pretty plate any dayWrong restaurant sorry ?“

“This place was highly recommended. It was good, not exceptional. First off, coming in as a single person they immediately said sit at the bar. Okay, even though they had long table seating, I guess the bar is fine. I ended up at the end of the bar, which was dimly lit and by the kitchen. Fine.The food is really good. It is. The soup dumplings and curry bao were great; however, the price was quite steep for what they give you. I've had better dumplings and bao for far less. This might be an unfair review as possibly there isn't a lot of competition in Raleigh for these items. Fair enough. Again, the food was really good--just hard to justify for the price. Great beer selection though!“

“Outdoor seating & plenty of indoor seating. Good venue for listening to live music. On a 3rd Thursday, we listened to a very fun pirate singing troupe, the Motley Tones, who were fantastic. Beer & wine only served; no food, but people had food delivered.“

“I had not been there in several months and Jennifer (co-owner) saw me, came over and gave me a big hug. Also saw Robert (manager) - big hug from him. Hugs aside -- our food, drinks, and wait person (Jake) were fantastic!!! It's always a great experience. If you have not been there, give it a go - you won't regret it.“

“Our first time to the Clouds Brewing Taproom. I liked the space -- big and open. Looked like outdoor space as well though it was enclosed in a big clear tent, either for cold or rain or both. I ordered their Sucker Punch sour which I always enjoy. The place was very crowded for a Christmas event going on but the bartender was efficient and asked people to step down the bar after they ordered and paid to keep things moving. For my second drink I decided to go with one of the Flat Rock ciders in the cooler. I love Flat Rock and had never tried the Key Lime Cider which was listed on the menu but I didn't see it in the cooler. I asked the bartender and he said there was one left and went to retrieve it. As he poured it he said he was saving it for himself but it was mine now. It was so good -- glad I got to try it. Bartender gets 5 stars in my eyes!“

“Super cool patio with great Raleigh skyline view. The brussel sprouts are to die for! Fun flight of various beers. And a super cool event called F*** Up where folks spoke about times where they messed up in life and the lessons learned. Great spot!“

“Great food. We tried the most loyal pizza (large). It tasted very fresh. However, I would appreciate if they had a medium size pizza also. They only have two sizes: small and large. Small pizza is a bit too small if you want to share with another person. We also tried cauliflower and chicken wings as appetizers. Both of the items were really tasty.The staff were friendly and provided good service.The atmosphere was very nice. We sat outside. They have nice decorations and seating arrangements there. There is plenty of free parking on the street.I highly recommend this place for couples and large group of people.“

“Fantastic!! Thanks to all! Had a rehearsal party on the patio and they did a fabulous job. Was so impressed with the food( taco bar), drink service, and the staff was awesome!! Our servers went above and beyond. They were so helpful, patient, kind and happy. They made it a perfect evening and everyone loved it!! Would highly recommend Clouds Brewing if you are looking for a terrific event in the perfect setting!!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at BJs tonight. Our waiter was great, very friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was delicious, we each got something different…pizza, steak, chicken sandwich and the brisket sandwich. They were all very tasty. The pizookies were outstanding as well. This was our first time at Bjs and we’ll definitely be back.“
