Sojourn Fermentory

Wanted to provide an updated review. We have been back four times since the brunch snafu. Two times were super busy. I am happy to say that they have gotten their act together. Food came fast, beer was cold and tasty. Happy to see the dog related events, my pup even got a pup cup. :) I haven't been back for brunch yet so I will update once we do. It is a plus that the section for the kids is segregated. Even when we went with live music, it was not overly loud and enjoyable.

First off. It looks like there are a lot of haters. I can only speak for the beer, but the beer is really good. Actually better than really good. The Helles tasted like exactly like the Helles should. In fact, the 6 beers we got were exactly what we ordered..very well made beers to style! I also saw comments about staff. Everyone here was extremely polite and friendly. Again haters!This place was a surprise, we came here on a whim. I had no expectations for anything before I came, but I would come back for these beers and service again.Overall, an amazing beer experience that I was not expecting when i walked in the door.

I visited Sojourn Fermentory on a Monday night, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The service is warm & welcoming! They offer a fantastic selection of craft beers and ciders, with something for everyone. I tried their cider, and it struck the perfect balance--tart with just the right amount of sweetness. We also ordered their hot honey pizza, which was delicious; the fresh basil really elevated the flavor. The brewery itself is spacious and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for small gatherings or parties. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, to try more drinks and take part in their fun weekly events!

Decided to try this place again after giving it a couple months. No change in service level with only 1 way to order drinks or food while other people stand around. The beers are very average at best but the most annoying is they don't serve average sizes and they are priced as full size beers. I am used to a high ABV beer coming in at 10oz. The picture below is an actual $10 beer that comes as a 6 oz pour! I chuckled when she served it to me and asked "where is the rest?" Definitely feels like a rip off.Update: in answer to the owner response: The picture was from Nov 4th 2024. The response was not accurate. This was a 6oz pour as explained by the associate. I was served a $9 IPA that was a 10oz pour. My review is accurate and the buyer should be aware of this practice for average beer.

This was Friday 11/25/24 and the area was having their Octoberfest celebration. You'd think the staff would have been better prepared but they seemed lost and uninterested in customer discourse. Getting food to the respective places seemed to be a challenge with their system. The owner also did not seem concerned as he only spoke to one table that I believe were friends of his. Also, the beer list doesn't tell you the ingredients to its seasonals which was strange cuz I ordered not knowing partially what I was getting or if I'd like it, which I did; I got the hefeweizen. It taste the spice but I can't be more descriptive like was it pumpkin spice or what??The place has potential and should be a happening spot for the sports and family crowd. It has garage doors to open the place up, I like the way it looks and it's clean. But, the service is hard to get past.

We enjoy this brewery! The beignets are super good and service is friendly. They do pour with pretty heavy foam but otherwise the place is nice - you can even bring your dog inside in the back area as well as the patio!

5/5 August 2024. We stopped here on the way to the Outer Banks. We had heard about this place from a podcast as a project involving one of the owners of a really cool beer bar in Fairfax. They had only opened a week or two before our trip but we had to take the opportunity to stop by. We had a late lunch on our trip, it really is pretty convenient if you're heading from the DC area to the beaches. It was well worth the stop. They have a lunch special that was a great deal. The service was good, especially for a new place. The pizza was good and fairly filling for a personal size. They are going for a more upscale feel and that comes through. We will definitely come back if we're in the area. Would definitely recommend..

Mediocre beer and terrible pizza. I might come back for a beer but definitely not be getting pizza again. The pizza was "Roman" which is interesting since I've been to Rome more than once and never seen pizza like this. In reality it is a dense, flavorless, chewy, dough with little flavor. Then after you choose same rather terrible pizza choices (IE honey should not be on pizza) they are covered in not nearly enough toppings. They then cook it too hot for the thickness of dough so it remains undercooked inside but almost burnt on the bottom. The beer issue was mostly that many tasted very similar. Over all I'm sad that this new business added little to the area since I live near by and it is clearly growing. It is unfortunate you would be better off ordering papa John's and you stopping at the store for better cheaper beer. I great brewery and pizza place would have been great. At least redwood is bring the A game.

The Bridge Road area of Suffolk needed a craft brewery and Sojourn Fermentory does it right. They have a wide variety of their own craft brews and ciders as well as about a half dozen guest taps. They serve their brews in a glass which they select to suit the beer and the serving sizes vary. The food menu is not extensive but they offer enough variety with pizza, sandwiches, and salad to satisfy most tastes. We really enjoyed the pizzas on our first visit. Today, they were left in the oven a few minutes too long and the crusts were over cooked to nearly burnt. It's a clean, open, refreshing atmosphere and the staff are very willing to assist.

Everything about our vistit to Sojourn Fermentory was an absolute pleasure. Everyone who worked there was amazing, helpful, happy and a joy to interact with. The beer Illuminate Helles was amazing, the pizza was probably the best in Suffolk, the Parmesean Fries great and we finished with the Beignets also amazing. Last night was bingo night and they did Love / Valentine's song themed bingo cards. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our experience and this place will become a staple in our out to eat rotation.
