JAFB Wooster Brewery

This was a brewery in Wooster, OH that I wasn't going to check out initially. It's a brewery and I wanted to focus on wineries and distilleries. But my wife mentioned it and I'm like let's go. I said this brewery turned me off initially because of the name "JAFB" like come on. Remember my initial reaction.We walk in and the place is very nice and large inside. It looks like it was a US Post Office previously but not quite sure. We go and order and I normally get a bunch of samples, but I didn't want to be tore up before the NFL Hall Of Fame event later. I just ordered the New England IPA and my wife ordered the Lemon Lime Kolsch. OMG, I think the New England IPA was better than anyone I tried in Pittsburgh, PA area. It was juicy and really good.I asked what does JAFB stand for. He smirked and said we are "Just a Fucking Brewery" OMG... I said that's got to be the best brewery name that I've ever heard of. I wish we had more time this place was great.

We stopped in for some liquid refreshment on our first visit to Wooster and had a great experience here. The tasting room is quite large but warm feeling with brick and wood. Service at the bar was prompt and friendly, and we found ourselves wanting to linger. Cream Ale, Vienna Lager, Mango IPA - all were solid choices. We noticed some folks bringing food in, and we will do this and stay even longer on our next visit. Your Pizza Shop is right down the street.

If I could give it a 6, I would We did the Summit County Brew Path two years in a row and have visited many breweries. This is the first brewery I visited that I liked EVERY taster I tried! Husband-approved as well :) Great open space with tables spread out for easy social distancing. Celebrated our 9-year anniversary and we even took home a souvenir glass. With so many shops and restaurant options within walking distance, this brewery is not the only reason to visit Wooster for the day... but it's the best reason!

The red ale is to die for!!!! Had it at The City Square restaurant. Will go to the brewery itself next time I'm in town.

Cool place! The Wayne County Cream Ale is smooth and light. The Coffee Stout is surprisingly light too. Great selection here... though, I wish they had a cider. But they did have a fruit ale which was a bit on the sweet side but pretty tasty.

Stopped in on an early Saturday evening and this place was hoping with all kinds of people: families, people in sports uniforms, dates, buddies, and a group all dressed up. It's open seating with large shareable fancy picnic tables to intimate high top tables for 2. Since I'd never been before I got a flight of 4 with the harvest saison, hefeweizen, raspberry, and Colombian coffee nitro porter. While all tasty the nitro porter was the best that I've had....too many. Other stuff - From our window seat there appeared to be a small side patio when patio season is around. Since there is no kitchen it is bring your own food and there is on site parking but the lot is small.

Stopped here while in the area. We had wanted to come here previous but was never down that way. The atmosphere was light and fun. The bar seems to the locals vibe but everyone was nice and the bartender was attentive. We had 2 rounds. All 4 beers were good. We had the stout, the apricot ale, the Hefeweizen, and the Really Raspberry. We will stop here again if the area. They don't have food but do have food trucks, they have a calendar on their website of when and what food trucks will be there.

The beer at JAFB is fantastic. I'm from Beer City (Grand Rapids, MI), so I know beer (shameless self promotion). The styles at JAFB are clean and true; the atmophere is fun too. You can gets some decent tacos from a truck outside or bring in your own food. I read some other reviews that said it's the only game in town... but the thing is... they have game!!!

We visited this brewery semi frequently when we lived in Wooster. It was a fun place to hang out, service was always good, and they have solid beer! A few of our favorites are the Really Raspberry Ale, the Wayne County Cream Ale, and the Coffee Porter. There are also lots of pizza places around to order in from, and they often have food trucks on the weekends.

Had a fabulous beer! Brought home a few four packs it was so good! Loved the Hazy IPA.
