Midnight Brewery

I decided to stop by today and try this brewery. It's located in a industrial center so there's ample parking. Trey, the owner, was really nice and took the time to tell me about his beer and offered samples. I first started off with a beer flight and my two favorites were Rolander the Goat Dopplebock Lager and Blood Moon Bliss Blood Orange IPA. I also liked the New Beginning Kolsch Style beer. Trey told me he'll be introducing some new beers in the next week so I'll definitely be back.

Always like to go when RVA Wood Fired Pizza truck is there! Great, fresh unique pizza. I got the Carol Ann and asked for sauce on the side. I was disappointed that the sauce was cold? Odd. My pizza wasn't very hot either but delicious. Hubs got a buffalo chicken which was spot on. As for the venue, people come early to "claim" the large tables by putting down a jacket in the room with the music. Tables taken up by families with tons of kids too. There was no room left in that room so we sat in the bar room (no kids) but could not hear the music we came to hear! I did go stand for a few songs and Out of Uniform was very good! Would have enjoyed hearing more with our party of 4. Maybe the venue could pipe the music into the bar room for everyone to enjoy? Maybe bring your own chairs. The American wheat beer was great!

We came to meet up with some friends and sat on the patio. There was a food truck and a band. I liked that there were 3 different areas to sit especially since we didn't want to hear the band. There was the patio, the main seating area and then they had a separate area with seating to listen to the band. I tried the root beer which was good. My friends enjoyed their selection of beer.

Beer, beer, beer! Other stuff too but lots of beer. Beer talk. Beer drinking. Beer!Get in here and order a beer! Friendly staff too!

My wife and I had a great time here last night. We went to listen to Turner's Body Shop band. The beer was good... several good options from Rockville Red to Mexican lager to Kolsch. They also had a food truck.The band was also excellent. They played for 3 straight hours! Great songs, great beer and great atmosphere.If you get the chance to go here and time it with this band.. you are in for a treat.

I'm not a beer drinker, so I'm not sure if I do this review with fidelity. I enjoyed the food truck and games while my husband overindulged on the beer options. I did try a seltzer that was pretty good. This seems like a place for "locals" because we stuck out like a sore thumb.

Judging strictly on the quality of the beer, this is the best independent brewery in the USA. I am not exaggerating. Putting aside ambiance (yes it is at the end of a road in an industrial park, next to some kind of carpet cleaning business or whatever), these beers are all spectacular. The Rockville Red is my go-to mellow malty ale whether at the brewery or buying it in a store, the Not My Job is a solid nutty brown (like Newcastle but deeper), the IPAs they have are awesome (according to my sources who like IPAs) - with a special shout-out to the Blood Moon IPA which is one that I can even drink. Finally, the Las Dos Mexican lager is something absolutely special - like if somehow Negra Modelo could make a boutique version.If you go to one brewery in Central Virginia it needs to be Midnight.They frequently have bands, singers, and food trucks, so check the schedule. Also be prepared for it to be packed with solid middle-America folks.

We really enjoyed our recent visit to Midnight Brewing, a family-run OG brewery in the Richmond area. Had great conversations with the owner/founder Trae and his bartending daughter Alexis. We visited on a Friday and they had both a food truck (Wrapper's DLite) and a local band (The Signature Move... Loved the Little Feat!). Their wide range of beers weren't typically IPA-centric, but more traditional styles (Kolsch, Oatmeal Stout & Mexican-style Lagers), all well-made (including the IPAs). They also can many of their beers, so I'm looking forward to sharing them around the campfire this long, holiday weekend.

We had a great Saturday doing tasters. I love a brewery that will do a tasting flight. Each beer is around 5% (so you don't need to worry about driving) but excellent tasting. We even had a "Curry" food truck, in which I was educated on Curry. Loved everything!! This establishment, not far from Short Pump is a must do! The Watermelon Lime beer is always in season.

Some of the best beer in Central Virginia. Many styles offered and each one is good. Good bands and food trucks Friday and Saturday. Friendly service. Blood Moon Bliss is my favorite beer ever.
