About Wise Man Brewing
Wise Man Brewing is a brewery and taproom in the old Angelo Brothers building in downtown Winston-Salem. It grew out of homebrewing, and the team still loves trying new recipes. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Winston-Salem on this site.
The tap list changes constantly. Alongside craft beer you will find cider, seltzer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks. A coffee bar serves coffee and espresso during the day, and the brewery says its brew crew has won awards.
The taproom is family friendly and pet friendly, with a laid back feel. Food trucks come through during the week, and there are TVs for the game.
There is live music every weekend. Weekly nights include Run Club, Music Bingo and Open Mic Night, and the yearly calendar brings Oktoberfest, Cider Fest, Lager and Sour Fest and Wildwest Brewfest.
