Latest reviews from Norwood

“Stopped in here on a Friday evening and there was a pretty decent crowd. Nice, simple, warm space in an old light industrial building. Family friendly. No food but they regularly have food trucks. Friendly service. There are a dozen taps, split between some regulars and seasonals. Flights of four are available for $14. Six packs to go are $16. Good quality cider. Cincy has some breweries that do some ciders but this is the first cider-only producer in the city. And it shows. They know what they're doing. If you're a cider fan or just looking to try something new, this is a nice change of pace and better quality than most breweries in the area.“

“Hi-Wire Brewing's Cincinnati location is actually in Norwood, part of the old U.S. Playing Card Company development. They occupy the ground floor and third floor of a space right in the middle of some apartments, with a patio that faces a stage and two decks, although it doesn't seem like the second floor is open (event space? other business?). There are about 20 taps along with coolers with plenty of cans to go. The space is big and modern and lively. Long bar, well staffed. Beer is pretty good overall, nothing special but good. Prices are fair. There is no food; the development will eventually have a food hall but for now they direct you to Angilo's Pizza a block and a half down the street, and you can have it delivered there. There's an outside bar that isn't open yet, and currently their license doesn't allow beer very far out on the patio, basically to a spot that would not even go the length of the outdoor bar. The other complaint is that there are literally 2 bathroom stalls for the whole first floor and there were hundreds of people here when we visited. Same situation on the third floor. That has to be against code, and it sucks. Otherwise, fun spot to visit.“

“Solid brewery in Boston. Large taproom in a warehouse, large bar and plenty of seating. Outdoor as well I believe. Decent tap list and beers were pretty solid. Unfortunately I'm writing this review several months later and this place is not really sticking out! So I suppose it's not a stand out place but gets the job done if you're looking for a good beer.“

“I have been to other Yankee Spirits in Massachusetts and this felt like the smallest of the ones I have visited. It also felt like I was in some large storage building. I'm not sure if the ambiance was noteworthy but sometimes if you are on a beer quest the ambiance is secondary. Plenty of parking. This place also sells wine and liquor and the beer section is almost like an after thought. There were a few dusty bottles but I saw a wide array of international, national, regional, and local selections. I took home a couple of never-before seen-by-me beers. Their prices were reasonable and I suppose in the end that and a better than average selection are all that matters. Will I go back? Not on purpose but if I find myself in the area again I may check things out.“

“Located in Norwood which is not a place people typically take their holiday. It’a a fairly sizable taproom carves out of a warehouse brewery kind of setup. They had 12-14 beers on that were available on a range of sizes down to the 4-5 ounce size but for some strange reason they didn’t do flights per se but they would pour you 3 of the 4-5 ouncers at a time. The beer was solid but not spectacular which i think is an apt description of Castle Island.“

“The tap room itself is fairly large area with a bar with taps on one end. Filled with multple rows of 3 x 6 tables. The brewery itself can be seen in the far reaches but is separated from the serving area with a long wood counter. It was pretty filled to capacity when we arrived. Beer offerings are prominently displayed on TV screens above the bar whicj makes it easy to choose. Food was offered outside by a decent canteen truck and food could be brought inside. The night we went they were having a "Pig Bingo"(5$ per card) in which pork meat related products were won. It was moderately loud but the area was open enough so it wasn't overwhelming. There was also a separate retail area where you could buy cans, glasses and other related items. The beers were excellent and were offered in full pint, half pour or flight sized samples(prices varied). Being only 20 minutes from my house this will be a regular place to visit.“

“Visited for dinner and had a very good prime rib dinner along with a couple of drafts (Guinness and Harp). They had several local micro-beers on tap and a small selection of international beers worth seeking out.“

“Visited here in mid May while staying here on a business trip. Only place open on a Sunday night, so I figure I would add it in case anybody else was in the same predicament as me. Only had three taps, Bud, Shock Top and Coors Light I think. When prompted, able to order an Odell’s 90 Schilling - think they may have had a New Belgium or two as well. Friendly barkeep, talkative locals. If you need a beer and find yourself here, this is the place to go.“
