I thought, hey, I’ve heard good things about this brewery, let’s stop in for a try on the way down to the OBX. We get in and sit down and wait for a server. And wait. And wait. And finally ask for a couple of menus. Mind you the place isn’t crowded either. The overwhelming smell of bleach was either a good sign or a bad one depending on how you looked at it. The service was okay once we finally got someone there. The seven beers they had on tap were barely passable in my mind. Perhaps this is tied to the loss of their brewer. The food was hit and miss. The potato cakes were dreadful (cold, greasy and soggy) but the sausage plate was excellent, especially the braunschweiger. Unfortunately I can’t say there is anything that merits a return tip.

cool brewery, farm ,bucther shop . try going during the week in the summer (weekends are packed). 7 beers on tap and to-go one liter bottles. recently lost their brewer so beer stocks are low. not to worry they have a new brewing team.

A peculiar facility. This roadside barn/brewpub had a particular ambiance that came across as half-brewery, half-remote-grocery-store, and a splash of saw palmetto. Just not sure. At first, I got excited, there was glassware and cases of bottle stacked, with beers in the fridge. We went a little crazy and then late regretted it because almost every beer we drank was nothing short of terrible. All these bottled beers were infected/skunky/ or poorly brewed. Otherwise, decent prices, decent atmosphere and a unique stop.

It actually feels a bit like you are sitting in a barn. A huge open room with some tables and a large bar. I don’t remember them even having any lights on. The service was okay, but I remember one of the servers getting snappy with a patron that seemed to be waiting a while for a soda. There were 5 or so beers on tap. I’m glad I stopped, but it wasn’t great.

Contrary to popular belief, Weeping Radish is not closed. They have simply moved to a new location in Jarvisburg NC. Here they grow their own materials for the restaurant/brewpub. They also butcher their own meat. Visited on the way back home from the Outer Banks. Stopped by and was going to get the Farm Brew but that isn’t released until June 30th. Bought some of their bratwurst. Sampled their beers, but I’ve had them before. Will hold off on rating the food as I’m going to return for lunch the next trip down.

Stopped in for a late afternoon snack and a beer. I saw my beer sitting on the bar for about 5 minutes before the waitress asked another server to bring it over. She did later tell me she was buying the drink because of the delay. A second round I ordered came right away. We ordered a cheese and sausage platter to snack on and it went quite well with the Black Radish Dark Lager I was drinking. I considered trying a tasting tray but the waitress said the beer samples were served in little plastic dixie cups. I passed. After eating I went into the small gift shop and made up a mixed case of the 7 styles available to bring home. I’ll do the tastings out of glass in the comfort of home. The ladies in the shop were a blast and we had a good time while shopping. Overall it was an enjoyable stop.

Visited with group, 10 people, I was on vacation with. Took about 20 minutes to seat us, but it was a busy lunch time. Older looking build, attempt at German/Alpineish cottage I assume. Looked a little worn all around, but nothing bad. Couple empty stores in the little village area. Service was good, she kept us informed of the fact that the kitchen was short handed and comped a couple rounds of beers, so that made up for it. Got loud with a full room, though the group behind us was largely responsible for this fact. Nice german style beer list, no IPA’s or stout’s found here. All i sampled seemed well made session brews. I had the Mai bock & Schwarzbier. Both done well. Food was good, maybe a tad pricey as you get to the entree’s. German food and some burgers & sandwiches. Good time, well worth a visit. Bar and restaurant have seperate entrances, but are joined inside.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Frankly it was much better this time than the last time we were here, we almost didn’t come back. Had a standard german sausage and kraut plate, all quite tasty. I should point out that Weeping Radish has been making a big push in recent years towards using as much organic products as possible, and the focus on quality really did come through in the sausage. The alt I had with lunch was probably the best beer I’ve ever had from Weeping Radish, outside of the times I’ve hit the Black Radish when it was really on. Should also point out that they are now apparently brewing their own beers again at their new facility in Currituck as opposed to contracting it out, which also helps. This is nudging back up to being a must stop again.

Good food, but hyperactive waitstaff. Our waitress wasn’t afraid to speaker her mind to the tourits (us) or really get in somone’s bisness. I found her entertaining though. It’s a shame the beer was disappointing.
