Bircus Brewing

Bircus is as unique, fun, & cool as its name suggests/sounds like. Personally, I am not a huge beer or IPA fan, but I am a fan of cider. Please also note though that I am not a connoisseur and know nothing about the correct tasting terms. However, the cider they have currently (August 2023) is so smooth, you'll think you're drinking the best juice with a little kick ever. The fruit notes were not overwhelming and it was very smooth. It also wasn't too carbonated/bubbly tasting. I loved it and def recommend it if you want something refreshing yet super tasty.Secondly, the pizza. Believe the hype. You will not be disappointed in the dough, cheese, or other ingredients they use. The fact that they use San Marzano tomatoes also elevates their food. Lastly, the service is top flipping notch. Kaley Rose's voice and effervescence elevates the experience at Bircus. To have someone who is so welcoming, patient, & kind takes a business from just a good experience to a memory. The other employees were equally as nice and hardworking, so it's obvious that Bircus puts thought into not only their pizza and entertainment but also their drink variety and staff. A well-rounded place. 33/10 recommend.

We visited Bircus Brewing to see a Circus Mojo show, but stayed for the craft beer and wood-fired pizza! The scene: The Ludlow Theater has been repurposed as a multi-use space-performances, food and a full bar. Circus decor is everywhere, and very festive. The vibe: very laid back, casual, local neighborhood feel, great for adults and kids alike. This is a real family place-the owners and their children are also circus performers! Bring the kiddos on a Saturday to enjoy a performance-tickets are on Eventbrite- search for Circus Mojo. We really enjoyed the audience-interactive show and the talent of the performers. Little kids will love it too. The brews: multiple brews on tap, including a gluten free mead and a gluten free cider. They were out of these, but also offer wine and mixed drinks. Homemade gingerale was delicious, and my companion loved the brews-he tried several options and will definitely return for the beer! The pizza: delicious hand-tossed crust, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, hand cut pepperoni was all delicious! Everyone in the group really enjoyed the pizza, and would return for it. As a bonus, there was free cotton candy during the performance. There was also popcorn on offer. Parking was on the street, but we arrived early and carpooled and got a front-door spot.

This place is like no place else I've ever been. They have all kind of circus equipment, like aerial silks, lyra, trapeze a huge ball, a wheel and many other things. They have a great selection of beer and really delicious wood-fired pizza. But, that's all. Do not come here for something fancy or highbrow or a really huge menu. Come here for the fun come here if you love the circus, come here if you love beer. We had the absolutely best experience on my daughter's birthday. Damion was our bartender and circus master. He did an incredible job of making sure that she had an awesome day. He put on a juggling show for her and taught her how to balance the peacock feather on her hands and chin . We will absolutely be back.

My hubby and I decide to a little bar hopping on Saturday and we went here first and the place is very nice and the beer is cold. I got the sampler Cerveza yum Mts Patterson Belgian beer with a hint of orange, black cherry seltzer and oatmeal beer not my favorite. You can order pizza which they had a lot of different topping goetta artichokes dried cherries. Very interesting. The only downfall for us empty nesters was the circus show staring at 2. It was very loud but the kids were having fun.

This is such a unique place that combines a brewery and a circus! It's a great space to host an event, they have all the audio and video hookups!The outdoor area is also very spacious and would be perfect in the summer!The wood fired pizzas are crispy and delicious. There are lots of vegetarian friendly options and the Margherita pizza tasted so fresh with the basil and tomatoes. Be sure to order pizza once you arrive especially if it's a busy night, they have 1 wood fired oven so can take some time but so worth it!They also have an extensive rotating beer list, the Cerveza 1862 Mexican beer accompanied the pizza really well!The staff is multi-talented. The bartender who served my beer was also a trapeze and aerial artist! It was so entertaining and a great way to kick off the event.There is street parking and overflow parking available about a block away.

One of the best breweries in town with phenomenal staff that go above and beyond to make a memorable experience. Outdoor patio as well!

A former circus performer transforms a dilapidated movie theatre into a live performance venue, brewery, pizza joint, and training facility for the future aerialist of the world. This may sound like Karen Russell's fiction, but these are the facts of Bircus Brewing in Ludlow, Ky.Whimsy overload. I love this quirky place. We attended recitals of various bands from NKU's music school on a Sunday night. We drank Bircus beer---The Strongest Man, a Belgian dark ale (A+)---and shared a Margarita pizza (B-). As the grades reflect, the beer was excellent but the pizza was ok. It was edible, staved off hunger, and likely helped keep me from falling off my stool from Belgian-ale annihilation, but it did not send me flying. (Bircus, I know that you can up your flavor/ingredients game.)Guess what, though. I'll go back to Bircus anytime.

We came to Bircus by way of a running group meet-up. I'm so glad! I had no idea this place was so ..... cool. What a great concept - It's a circus venue primarily. As they describe it, it's circus first, supported by beer and pizza. LOVE.I can't wait to go back and take the silk classes they offer on Tuesday. As it was, we caught some great liive music (Old Time country, with some Cajun thrown in). We tried the beer (coffee stout and lime lager - both good). And the pizza. THE PIZZA! It was incredible. We had the goetta pizza with potatoes, and though it was a bit spicy, it was delicious. I loved the crust and the cheese. What a wonderful concept, venue, menu, etc. etc. Staff is super friendly, too.

Great pizza and gluten free cauliflower crust options in a wood fired pizza oven! House brewed beers on tap and a local gluten free cider too. House made ginger ale is a must. Full bar with friendly staff. The Miller family has created a warm atmosphere in a historic Ludlow theatre and given life to the neighborhood with Circus Mojo. The show was awesome and the audience was given a chance to learn some moves too. This Saturday performance is perfect for families and friends. A great afternoon date idea as well. It's cool to see the brewery area behind the stage and feel the excitement of the Miller family's hospitality through Circus Arts, Brewed beers, and hand crafted pizza. I learned that Circus Mojo also offers: summer camps, children's classes and adult classes with a complimentary beer! Love it here and will definitely be back to share our experience with family and friends! Paul was hilarious as the Ring Master. You'll laugh and feel like you made a good choice to come.

We visited , for the first time, to support and enjoy the NKU student jazz bands. The atmosphere was fun. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The wood fired pizza was really good. I'm not a beer drinker so I tried the cider and it was great. Very smooth. The only negative was parking but that's to be expected in town.
