Powder Hollow Brewery: Reviews & Ratings
A brewery and winery in one?! What more is there to say? If you haven't gone then you need to go. The beer selections are fantastic and the crew are some of the nicest people I've met.
Recently had an event in their winery section - Kenzie made the process so easy and stress free. The day of exceeded expectations - the bartender was super great. I have nothing but good things to say about this place and would absolutely come back to host an event or just hang out!
We hosted our engagement party here in November! Such a cute spot and plenty of room for all of our guests. Kenzie was awesome to work with and very accommodating. We booked here mainly for the brewery and it was a hit with our guests! Will definitely be booking future events at Powder Hollow Brewery!
I came here on a Saturday afternoon to enjoy the nice weather, sit outside and have some wine. The brewery is attached to a winery and in an industrial building, which shares the outdoor seating in the parking lot. The ladies inside were very friendly and offered up some recommendations based on the weather and what was new. The flight was so reasonable for the amount of beer you get, I'd definitely recommend it! Overall good beer, an interesting location but friendly people and a food truck outside.
This has become one of our frequent haunts. Beer flights always hit the spot. The wine selection has dwindled over the last few years but there’s still a couple tasty options. We went to the latest monthly book swap - an event we will definitely be returning for. We always wonder why it isn’t more popular- plenty of seating inside and out. Board games available to use, a few TVs showing local sports, more than enough parking. While the service isn’t anything remarkable, the overall experience is quite enjoyable. So many events each month - we have done candle making, trivia and the book swap - all a great time!
We used the event space for a baby shower recently. It already has some decorations which made things so easy. It was a great size for the small shower we had planned. Kenzie was both our contact person and bartender day-of. I can't say enough good things about her. She was incredibly helpful and responsive. Renting the space was affordable and we bought wine for guests through the brewery. Definitely recommend.
Had a nice time here this past Saturday! The beer-tenders were friendly, smiling & helpful. The place was pretty empty besides a private party in a separate dining room. There’s also a small winery attached to the brewery. So you can have beer or wine. They also sell soups & light bites. Very cozy, flat screen TVs & lots of board games to relax, have fun & enjoy your beer flights.
We had our wedding last weekend at Powder Hollow Brewery and R Dee Winery. We cannot stop thinking about our celebration and how perfect it was. What truly set it apart was how accommodating and helpful Kenzie was which made the planning process easy and exciting. From the table set up, to the lighting dimness, food placement, and even the music, we were able to make the space feel uniquely us. We received so many compliments from guests on how cozy and inviting the venue was. We planned our own wedding and it would have been so much more stressful at any other venue due to affordability and location (trust us, we looked at multiple locations near and far). The next time we have an event, we would not hesitate to have it again at Powder Hollow Brewery and R Dee Winery!
