Reviews for Coastal Fermentory in Newport News, VA
Coastal Fermentory is a great local spot - trendy and yet rustic. It\'s very clean with nice bathrooms and ambiance. I am always... fascinated with the behind the scenes look at all of the equipment. I am not a fan of beer (so why go to a brewery?, to catch upwith friends who do love beer of course), so it\'s nice that they have a few seltzer options. Also I love that a distillery isright next door although I didn\'t get over there. For those of you who recall this area as being run down, it\'s really pickingup with places like Coastal Fermentory, a pizza place, the distillery and there was plenty of parking and the area was safe andvery close to the water.

First time at Coastal and I had an enjoyable experience with my teammates. The Unicorn Rage sours were definitely on point. The... atmosphere was relaxed and if you\'re hungry, there\'s Benny\'s pizza next door and it\'s so good. I\'m hoping ciders can beadded to their list. Fingers crossed. Looking forward to the next round. Cheers! Read more
Our first visit to this establishment was August 2021 (see photo). We went for a going away party/celebration and it was a good... time. The facility was well put together and nicely kept. They had a lot of options available for drinks and my fave, theciders. We just went back for the block party this past July and they are still going strong. I really like how they arebuilding up downtown NN. It?s slowly and steadily making a comeback! Read more
Great atmosphere! Had two flights. Loved both sours especially the new Imperial Sour, Unicorn Rage. The bartender recommended... some great IPAs, the best was Diamond and Pearls, very smooth and both the wife and I loved.\n\nHad our first Kombucha. Was aJun and very honey forward. Delicious and like the bartender said, will likely spoil us for future kombucha.\n\nFood truckChicken Stop was here today, great wings and quick to get food out to pair with the beers. Will definitely return.\n\nGreatstop before crossing the bridge. Read more
This place is great. The selection of beers will please anyone, not just the IPA nuts out there. Sours, Lights, Darks, even a... Kombucha. The staff are all really knowledgeable and most of them are part owners so you really feel they have a passion for theplace. Local food trucks and being dog friendly are the icing on the cake. I?ll be back for sure. The only downside is theydon?t fill growlers, but they have cans of most of their beers so not much of an issue. Read more
Beers were very good. I liked the Keplers Law IPA. Liked the ability to just taste their beer and really like that they have... smaller 1/2 pours available. They haven\'t been open very long and I\'m sure opening in a pandemic is tough. Even though theyare located in a somewhat unusual area the space they have is excellent. Great open bays and nice outdoor seating. Definitelyworth a stop if you are in the area. Read more
Beer is incredible. Good selection and variety means they likely have something for everybody. Top notch service. Parking lot... right next to the building. One minute off the highway. Patio. Clean bathrooms. Dog friendly. Can purchase cans to go. Foodtrucks on weekends. Read more
Definitely a hidden gem. Super spacious bar with open seating. Awesome beer fairly priced. Live music and a food truck that you... can order tapas and tacos that are straight fire. So delicious and pairs well with the craft beer. I drove an hour toexperience this place and it was so worth it. Oh and the staff is attentive, kind and friendly. Read more
