14 Best Craft Breweries near Brunswick

“This new Brunswick location is hitting the ground running. I hosted a party with 2 things in mind... beer & jazz. Ignite's General Manager was honest with me from the start that a hard liquor license was coming soon, and a pizza oven was coming soon. Pizza didn't make it in time, but the brats/dogs were fantastic. I had Balloon Crew deliver balloons & a family member make some black-vase table decor, and the place popped. I hired a band and they had no problems working with Ignite to set up & play. The staff was over the top friendly, welcoming and responsive. The food display they arranged was far better than I imagined. Everyone loved the beer cheese dip. I highly recommend Ignite in Brunswick. They are exceptionally easy and straight forward to work with. A pleasure to do business!!“

“A microbrewery that I knew nothing about until I went to a weekend ska festival in Virginia and they sponsored the water station that kept my wife and I hydrated in between the many drinks we enjoyed that weekend. For that, I made it a point to stop in and buy something. I only ordered a crowler for my wife and she really liked it. It was called murder on the dance floor I believe. The server was helpful and even pointed out the beer I selected was more expensive due to high abv. Seems like a friendly place to grab a drink and listen to good music. I wish it wasn't 40 min away or we would have been back already.“

“Great place with awesome staff. Had a variety of beers and ciders (not just 12 different IPAs like most places). I know brewery and family friendly usually do not go together but this place was very family friendly. The only negative thing I can say is that the food was just OK.Kid-friendliness: went mid-day on a Saturday and was very kid friendly. Staff was amazing with kids and making sure they where having a fun time.“

“This is a very interesting and cool place to visit. From the beer selection to the facility it self. Being a brewing company with a wide variety of Ales and IPAs for everyone. We loved the self guided tour you can take. It's just a walk around hallway posted on the walls. It tells you the beginning history of the Fat Head Company and how it landed in Ohio. Yes....we purchased a tin sign for the garage.“

“We went here on St Patrick’s Day and the service was excellent and the beer was delicious!!! The food isn’t made by Medina Brewing - it’s a different establishment inside of the brewery but the food was fast and really, really good. The server was so nice and patient. She had a smile on her face the whole time and we were a large and rowdy bunch.“

“LIZ is the best! We walked in an hour before close, she greeted us with a smile and kept conversation. All the recommendations were phenomenal! Gluten friendly so this shoots to the top of the list. Go support!! Great people and amazing food!!“

“This is one of the best pizza places in the area! We had the white pizza with artichokes and topped with ricotta cheese! It was so good! I could not wait to eat the leftovers! We tried the cheesy bread! Very tasty also!!! The rest of our group ordered pizza with pepperoni. Delicious!!! I could go there every day!!! It’s that good!!!“

“First, the beer is amazing. Second, the food is fabulous! I had the pulled pork sandwich, it was the best! My wife had the Mahi Mahi wrap she said it was amazing. We both got the coleslaw as our side and were glad we did. Third the atmosphere and service was great. We will be back.“

“Their own beers were unavailable (hence the four stars) due to a beer festival. It is a small brewery that is trying to expand. It is located within a company that offers indoor go-karting, and there is also bowling and games for children here.It is wheelchair accessible. The bathrooms were clean. It can get loud.I had a hamburger and tater tots. I say they were both good, though the burger was a little on a small side.Seating, 12 a the bar, 24 at high tables.“

“Have driven past this place a lot and finally decided it's time to try out. VERY glad I did!! I see why this place has become increasingly popular, as the beer selection and pizza are EXCELLENT, as well as the atmosphere and folks behind the bar. I'm regretting I didn't stop in sooner, but I definitely will be more often. Already craving more of their pizza!!!“

“Last weekend, we hosted an unbelievably fun Secret Society Comedy show in the ballroom at Blue Heron where Ben and the staff did everything in their power to make the show a success. Over 200 people came to laugh along with us on a gloomy Friday night, and I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere to host your next event.“

“Fantastic little brewery! Sampled 4 of their beers and all of them were fantastic! Also had a great guitarist for live music! Service from the two ladies behind the bar was friendly and fast! This place has the occasional food truck or pop-up, but doesn't offer its own food though you are allowed to bring food in! I would suggest to the owner that a small investment in a kitchen to offer bar fare would probably be a great idea!“

“We absolutely loved Hoppy Dude Brews in Hinckley, Ohio. First, if you’re always working like I am, just a drive down to Hinckley is going to refresh your mind and body. It’s such a beautiful and relaxing place. Second, you have to absolutely visit Hoppy Dude Brews. They have the best beers that people from far and wide travel to just so they can sample the deliciousness. Some of my favorites were “tickle my pickle”, “bikini bottom”, and the strawberry blonde. The staff is super friendly and the place is super cute! Omg! If you do their flights, they give you these delicious oyster crackers that you can eat between each flight sample to clear your pallet! Ingenious! I can’t wait to go back and spend the day in Hinckley and taste their delicious beer again! I hear there’s an amazing doughnut shop and a made from scratch pizza place close by as well. They also have the coolest looking putt putt golf place in the area. Wow! Hinckley has it all!“

“Very good experience. The burger and fries were awesome. One thing I will note is that they add an extra 3% to all credit card payments. This is not the problem. The issue I have here is that the waitress did not inform me before she totaled my bill. I was paying in cash so this didn't apply to me. The waitress happily corrected it, but it all could have been avoided earlier.“
