About Local Oak Brewing Co.
Local Oak Brewing Co. is a nano brewery, casual taproom and large outdoor beer garden on Railroad St in downtown Winterville. It was founded in 2019 and is family-owned and family-operated. The name comes from the 150-year-old oak tree in the side yard, which now shades the beer garden.
The draft list rotates frequently, so the beer menu changes from visit to visit. The owners say they like the freedom of very small breweries, and they brew styles they are curious about. The taproom also serves wine and a guest tap of hard cider.
Dogs are welcome if they are friendly and kept on a leash. Kids are welcome in the afternoons, and the taproom is 21+ every day after 7pm. Food trucks park behind the building most Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. Beer to go comes in crowler cans, so there is no glass to carry around.
