Blackbird Brewery

Blackbird Brewery is a very nice addition to the newly constructed Wheatfield Shopping Center located on Forestville Road in Wake Forest. We went there last Saturday and it was busy. There was a vendors market occurring in the open space between the brewery and a pizzeria (Mario's) that we are going to try soon. There is outdoor as well as indoor seating. Inside they did a really nice job with the seating and decor. I had a beer flight consisting of their IPAs, Czech and Blonde Ale. Most of the beers here are German / Czech, Belgian and American IPA inspired. All were delicious. I then got a pint of the Thiology Hoppy Blonde Ale. It was also delicious!! They offer wine and Prosecco for the non beer drinkers. It's a fun place; check it out.

I was very impressed by our first outing to Blackbird today. They serve lots of options of beer, wine & cider as well as some bar bites (pretzels, etc.). Seating was a bit limited due to how packed it was. This is a kid-friendly establishment, so just be forewarned that there are kids running everywhere. If you have littles, this could be a good option for you. If you are annoyed by unsupervised rugrats, maybe take a pass. My husband liked all the beers in his flight, especially the hazy ipa, and I loved the Pumpkin Potion and Coffee Cake Milk Stout.Romeo's Pizza delivers for free to Blackbird with a promo code: black.

My beer friends really like this place, so maybe I just need to try some other brews as it wasn't my favorite. They had about 10 different beers on tap when we went.The berry sour I got was just not good. It was loaded with fruit (which I have no problem with as fruited sours are my favorite), but the texture was off putting...pulpy almost. It tasted like watered down Koolaid. I sampled the jalapeño ginger and that was awful. To each their own. I was glad to see they bad an outdoor area where children could run around and adults have seats inside because there's nothing worse than unsupervised kids rolling around while you try to sip your beer.

I took advantage of the fact that my wife, a huge wine and cider fan, but not a big beer lover, was out of town to stop in and try this place. I absolutely loved it. The bar,/taproom atmosphere was awesome. It was laid-back, classy, and the servers behind the bar were outstanding. Both were very helpful, very busy, but Took their time with each customer, and were extremely efficient. Most importantly, the beers were great! I had a flight, and everything was outstanding. The highlight was probably the oatmeal raisin cookie Porter. All the flavors were there, and I loved everything about it. if I didn't live an hour and a half away, I would visit this place frequently. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone that likes craft beer, or just a cool place to hang out.

Went back to visit on Tuesday night which is trivia night! Just reconfirmed what I already knew, I love this place!

Newly opened brewery in Wake Forest. Today is day 4. Rectangular room in a storefront in the corner of a new strip center.The in-house brewery isn't up and running yet, bar is serving beers from others. A nice variety is available. It's family friendly, there's a few tables outside.Welcome to the neighborhood!

I was holding off on trying this spot until they started brewing their own beer which they have been for a bit now. It was one of the IPAs for me and the short schwarz (a smoked schwarzbier) for my husband. I really liked the service, beer and space here. If you are in Wake Forest, check this brewery out.

What a great family friendly brewery! Located in a newish shopping center in Wake Forest on Rogers Branch rd. They have a great outdoor space with cozy couches and chairs with table top fire pits and lots of gaming area for all the kiddos. They also have events according to the web site. Friendly service and will definitely be back. Beer and wine served as well as some non alcohol for the younger crowd. I did see pizza box from nearby Romeos so its bring your own food.

The space is intimate with a wide door open to the patio area. They only allows dogs inside to order with you which in my opinion is a small missed opportunity based on the proximity of a vet and a dog training facility in the same complex. A nice selection of overall types of beer and offers flights for you to choose from. I had a glass of the The Insider Cabernet Sauvignon which tasted like mulled blackberries in the most delicious way possible. The staff is friendly and attentive and we will certainly be back soon.

Don't advertise dog friendly and restrict them to outside only because you sale packaged pretzels and claim the health department will shut you down if the dogs are inside where packaged pretzels are sold. This makes you look and sound clueless to the laws. Just state dogs are not allowed indoors as a company policy and make sure it's clearly states this on the outside of the establishment as it was covered up the day we went there with our dog.
