Big Sandy Brews - West Virginia

After a day of exploring at Ohiopyle me and my friend who are craft beer and brewery enthusiasts were excited to stop by here and have some beers afterwards.We initially were stopped in our tracks by the doors being locked and the business being closed which was a surprise to us because I had read on Yelp the hours were 4-10ish but we'd later find out that was more like 4ish to 10ish. Haha!We were bummed and as we were walking back to the Jeep to head somewhere else, I sparked up a conversation with a couple gentlemen from the area who were in the parking lot. They were waiting to go inside as well and assured us that the owner would be there soon. So we chatted about beers and breweries and then boom, the owner pulled in.We found out that she had to pick up an order she had placed at Sam's Club and while doing that a girl had called off, so totally understandable. We all helped her unload the stuff she bought for the bar and then she served us an ice cold Halleck Pale Ale in frosted mugs from Chestnut Brew Works, which sadly enough I'd never had until then, Wow was it was tasty! Thanks Shorty for the recommendation. It's now on my favorite list. After chatting it up with the locals we happened to find out to our surprise that a guy we grew up with now lived in the area and made friends with the locals since they were all super good musicians. So they called him up and he came down and had a beer with us before we had to head out.They played us their new music on the jukebox and it was very good and we also met a local guy who had just been inducted into the WV Music Hall Of Fame. Damn, these are the days I live for!Listen, this place is 100% awesome! The owner Laura is amazing, the locals are kind and friendly, the beer is super cold and mostly local but some of your other favorites too, she makes her own wine and it's on tap, the food looks good, she supports locals businesses as well by purchasing their stuff for resale, it's roomy and they have a pool table.It's a super cool place and I can't wait to go back and hang out again and grab a pizza from the pizzeria next door.Sláinte!

Nice little place in a small town. We did tastings of all the wines. They are good, sweeter, fruitier, drinkable wine. Always nice to dunce small local places when passing through an area.

We really enjoyed our time at Big Sandy Brews! Great selection of ice cold beverages, enjoyed conversations with other patrons and loved the bartender Kristy! Looking forward to coming back :

We walked in and walked right back out. I don't like to eat or drink when there are animals present. It's gross.

Taco night Tuesday was on point. Craft brews I came for the beer.. Wine selection sounded delicious. Great service.
