Wulfaven Brewing

This is a fun place to relax and have a drink. They're have a lot of boardgames, and a ton of TVs for watching sports. We took some out of town friends here before dropping them off at the airport. I ordered a cider, and my wife got a seltzer. Both were very mellow and tasted great. The staff was friendly and happy to answer any questions we had.

Food comes from a food truck on site. The tacos and Mexican corn are good You place your order at the truck and pick it up when it's ready. It wasn't very busy so our food was brought to the table which was nice. The atmosphere is laid back, spacious, with a view of their brewery behind the bar. It's a kid friendly space as well.

first time here! good beer selection. place was clean and spacious. you can bring your dog on the outside patio. you can bring your own food in or have it delivered there. They also have a food truck out front. when we were there it was A Boy Named Sous Trivia nights you can have a team up to 7 people. each beer you purchase after 7pm when trivia starts is counted towards your points. up to 7 beer limit. clearly there is a theme.. lolfun night! especially since we won Show Me Your Kitties Good Vibes. nice staff!

If you want to know how skilled a brewery is at crafting beer: ask them about their lagers.These types of beer require more thoughtful care than ales (the other type of beer, all beer is either an ale or a lager). Odds are, if a brewery can do right by them, they are going to make everything well.Wulfaven is a prime example of this!Nearly half the taps are lagers of various types: Pilsners, Cold IPA, Fest Bier, Czech Dark lager, etc!Their Cold IPA is easily my favorite, but I'm very biased because those are the types of beers I like to make myself.One tweak I would make if I were a brewer here, I I'd put much bigger dry hop charges in the hoppy lagers and tone done the bitterness a little bit. That's just my personal taste though, many people will disagree with me, and that's OK!

Really great spot and brewery in the Tampa area! My husband and I have been meaning to come here for some time. Plenty of parking, as well as both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is wide open with large ceilings--plenty of places to sit at tables or on chairs/couches with views of the brewing equipment and outside patio. Service was super friendly and prompt. They have a variety of beers ranging from lagers to pilsners to IPAs (hazy and double). We enjoyed the Leaning Tower of Pilsner and It's All in the Hips (hazy IPA). Both beers were excellent. We will be back next time we're in the area!

The Basics: Wulfaven is a family owned and operated brewery in Carrollwood on Gunn Hwy between Anderson and Dale Mabry. Designed by a veteran brewhouse engineer, Wulfaven has a full menu of all different styles of beer. While the head brewer specializes in crisp and clean lagers, they also brew IPAs, as well as some unusual styles you don't see very often (such as Baltic porters, German dunkels, and Italian pilsners).Things I like: The beer! I cannot emphasize enough the quality of the beer. It's common for breweries to have several styles of beer, but it is remarkable to have this much variety and for every beer to be this good. Wulfaven has a great family-friendly space (both indoors and patio), cornhole available outside, food trucks most days, and large TVs to watch all kinds of sports. The head brewer is very approachable and friendly, and he hosts "Mash to Glass" events monthly to take visitors on a technical deep dive tour of his latest beer. They also host a trivia night a couple times a month. The staff is very friendly, the bathrooms are clean, and they have wifi if you need to get some work done.Things I didn't like: The parking lot is small and fills up quickly, but there is a grass lot next door with plenty of space. I've never had trouble finding parking, even on the busiest days.Overall, a great brewery and a great addition to the Carrollwood area!

Randomly stopped by the place to pass some time while we were in the area. It was such a cute, open space brewery. There's a nice outdoor area where you can bring your dogs & a food truck outside with a menu if you're hungry. I really liked the ranch water I got. They also had a board with all the weekly events they hold including a run club and trivia!

This is my third visit. This is the closest brewery to my house. I want so badly to love this place. The family that owns this place is amazing and we love them. I just wish they had taken this beautiful building and made it a little more warm and inviting. It is big and industrial feeling. This translates to me not wanting to be here very long and maybe not spend much money. I hope they see this review and up the experience of this beautiful building.

Here's the deal. I've been a couple times, because it was super close to me, and I wanted to really like it. Carrollwood/Citrus Park area really needs a good, local craft brewery that's got a similar space like this. However, it's just not very good.The service was good. The space is huge, and there's a ton of seating and tables. It's a great space for large get-togethers. They have a good rotation of food trucks. But let's get to the real reason for the 2. The beer just isn't good. I've tried a couple things, and my friends have tried several. I've found that it's weak or not flavorful. The one time that something had a lot of flavor, it was a guest seltzer and was sickeningly sweet. If this is all you have and you don't feel like driving further, you can try it out. But it's not for people who enjoy quality craft beer.Maybe I'll try them again once they've really got their footing and are more practiced, but until then, I'll keep going to my staple breweries.

New brewery and tasting room located in the Carrolwood area of Tampa. It's a very large tasting room with an outdoor area as well as space to do their brewing. Great service at the bar, very friendly staff. They did have a food truck on a Saturday night called A boy named Sous. I didn't have any food on this trip though. I did have the 1 Hundo haze with centennial and citra hops. It was very tasty, true to the style. They had 12 of their own beers on tap which is great for a new brewery. Wulfhaven is a true family business from the Lazzara family. Great local place for excellent beers. I will definitely return. They have trivia on Wednesdays and live music on Thursdays according to their website. A full calendar of events is available on their website as well. Closed Mondays but open the rest of the week.
