Altered State Brewing

Specializing in Hazy and West Coast IPAs, Altered State Brewing was rated Top Ten New Brewery on USA Today's top 10 New Brewery list! With their ever changing array of distinctive IPAs (Hoppy & Hazy), heavily fruited sours and stouts they are with out a doubt a beer lovers dream!Rotating taps, indoor and outdoor patio space makes this the perfect venue for friends, family's & co-worker meet ups! If you're ever in the Raleigh or Triangle area stop by and give them a try, I guarantee you will not be disappointed with the brews or the hospitality!

Great things come in small packages, and that's certainly the case with Altered State Brewing. This was my first visit to their physical location, but I've had a good number of their beers thanks to friends sharing cans or tasting parties. There's only been one I haven't loved so far.Altered State makes small batches, so don't wait to go when you hear of something good. (They only use Facebook on social media.) If you enjoy thick smoothie beers or fruited sours this will more than exceed your expectations! The owner told me that they add full size pie crusts into their Key Lime pie beer! I got a s'mores stout which had wonderful layers of flavor from the graham cracker, marshmallow, to chocolate. The tropical smoothie fruited sour was out of this world, too. It was like a summer tiki vacation in your mouth. It was a good thing I had dinner plans because I could have put a few of those back.There are 4 or 5 full size picnic tables and then a couple stools at a bar type area outside. There is no indoor seating. If the City of Raleigh ever provides all their permits, they're hoping to move not far from Compass Rose Brewery in north Raleigh. Can't wait! Currently they're open limited hours on Thursday-Saturday.

Altered State is a brewer's brewery. These guys are making unique beers really well, and they have fans among the bigger breweries in the state, as evidenced by the number of different beer brands I saw on display at the grand opening of their Garvey Street location.Altered State is not a brewery that knows the word "subtlety". Everything they do is to the extreme, and it somehow just .. works.Want a fruited sour? You're going to have the most fruited sour you've ever had.Want an IPA? You're going to have the hoppiest Imperial IPA you've ever had.Want a Stout? You're going to have the stoutest stout you've ever had.The beers are so much fun and so diverse. Highly recommend getting a flight to sample the different varieties.

The best IPAs in the whole state. They exist simply for beer excellence and deliver it in every pint. End of review.

Ok, so second time here, didn't post a review the first time but this brewery freaking knows how to make good beer. Their IPAs and sours are excellent and the other stuff is damn good too. Nice outdoor space. And you can't beat their prices on the flight, heck you get five tastes for less than 10 bucks. Awesome sauce. It is one of the best breweries in Raleigh, right up there with burial. You need to come try this, and I really don't wanna say this because it's so chill and uncrowded but holy cow. Funky tasty IPAs and their Wunderbar variations are on point and very tasty.This place is definitely not going out of business like the brewery next door did.

Not impressed with their sour options. no gose, pour sweet sour beer which can make as a slushy

Altered State is finally serving beer but on release weekends only. They are located next door to Black Fire Brewing and have teamed up to offer one large outdoor space. There are no beers on draft, just cans and bottles that they pour for pints and flights. I tried a flight which consisted of the Losing California, Nektar, No Sleep, Pineapple Milkshake and Vortex of Decadence. My favorite was the Nektar, it's a gose with cherry and raspberry. I'm hoping that their hours will expand soon. I can't wait to try more of their beers, cheers!

Bartender is rude. Stop yesterday and liked the beer. Wanted my wife to try it out. Made us feel unwelcome, she is rude, inconvenienced. Do not recommend.

Took us way too long to visit! Have been missing out on great local beer and a cute atmosphere. Altered State will definitely be on our mainstay list

Loved it! Outdoor seating a must. Better if they had light food menu, but Mexican restaurant right next door
