Amazing selection of beers, cider, wine, and slushies. Friendly staff. Cool decor, many very naked humans.

My husband, and I with some of our friends visited here over the weekend to listen to music, and drink beer in the evening of my husband's birthday. We really enjoyed the musician, and my husband of course really liked his beer. I enjoyed the fact that there is plenty of seating inside, and outside, and the restrooms were clean as well.

Cool brewery with a great outdoor patio and fun indoor vibe. My favorite beers were the Moo Moo Farm milk stout and the Maybe Today Satan double-IPA. We visited Big Ugly on our way back from the outer banks- it was only a few minutes off our route. We only had time for a flight, but it's on the top of my list to visit next time I'm in the area. Love the barbershop chairs and the VW bus inside -and their Chesapeake mural is simple amazing.
