St George Brewing Co

I love me some breweries and St. Georges is pretty great. They’re located in Hampton but close to Poquoson which I love. The beer is great and the staff is very friendly. The only issue I had was I took two growlers (metal) and the guy said He would have to poor from the tap because they’re metal but that they’d still last a couple days. I said ok because my party was in a couple hours. I got to the party I was going to and both beers were flat. I was really bummed. So if you’re getting a fill bring a glass bottle, he said they poor those a different way and they are good for longer.

Beer is exceptional. It’s a little small and poorly ventilated. Good pricing and really good beer. I hope they can grow into a nicer facility. I had the stout on nitro. That always makes me happy. Good selection of beers and they do pitchers. Once again poor ventilation is why I. Gave them 4 stars.

They sent me a new 6 pack and it was good.
No one is perfect and these guys stand behind their commitment to quality.
Its worth a try.

Great beer and great establishment. Came here on a Friday when they had a food truck and live music going. Very casual environment to drink some beer and listen to some tunes from local artists. It is set up in a warehouse-​style building where they make most of their beer. There is a tap room and plenty of picnic table style seating in the building. They open up their garage door to the outdoors where there is more seating and where some people like to tailgate instead of sitting inside.
Tried their Nut Brown Ale and Summer Ale, both has a great earthy undertone and rich flavor. I’m definitely a fan.
Also. You need to try Larry’s Lemonade. It is a malt based lemonade and perfect for the warmer days ahead.
If you’re looking for an alternative to a bar, consider coming out to St. George’s Brewery!

Tasty brews. Probably the best in the Norfolk area. Beer with the addition of food trucks creates an awesome experience for an easy night out. Longer hours would be nice tho.

Drank some good beer. Ate some tasty BBQ. Played some championship cornhole. Only thing missing was music.

We stopped in for free tastings and a tour on a Saturday afternoon. Have a good variety of brews to choose from. I think they had 10 different beers on tap when we visited, and we tried them all. The owner did the group tour and he was very knowledgeable.
I think I would prefer if their location and atmosphere were a little bit more professional… like the kids toys being all over the place.

This was the third stop on a beer tour I went on with LocalSuds (
).
What I liked most about this place was that they put out pitchers of all the beer for us to try. At each table they had set up were two pitchers of beer and we were able to sample at our leisure. My favorite was the Imperial Bock. It’s a dark, strong beer with a great finish.
They also had a food truck there who gave us two tacos which was included in the tour price. The tacos were quite tasty!

I am guessing we caught them on a bad day. We showed up at 315 (early for the 4pm tour). They came and told us that the tours were not going to happen because of the delivery they just received. That was it the guy did not ask if we wanted to sample anything, he did not ask us if we wanted to purchase anything from the shop… nothing! Very disappointing visit.

This may be my new favorite east coast brewery. Every style of beer was really well done without any being over the top. However, our brewery guide was a little over the top — kind of like a super pedantic beer conspiracy theorist. Like, did you know all the west coast beers are really big and hoppy because we can’t taste anything because our taste buds are shot from years of drinking coke; they don’t have that problem in Virginia because they drink sweet tea instead. I also learned that you have to know where you’re going to know where you’ve been to know where you’re at — something like that, he was drinking a lot. It just added color to the tour. Did I mention the tastings were free? Well worth searching out.

Looked up brewery in the area, found this one on Unilocal.We drove from Yorktown about 15 miles to check out the tour and sample some beers. This place was location across the street from a NASA facility. The guy who provided the tour and sampling was an interesting character. He basically told the guys that they knew nothing about beer and proceed to drop knowledge on the history and brewing of beer. He provided 7 different types. All the beers were really good. The Scotch ale was my least. My favorite was the Golden and Nut Brown. It was really cool I left with a bottle of IPA and a tasting glass to take home. For beer lovers this is very cool

Thank you, Unilocal,for pointing the way to this ohsohappy brewery!
In town on a drizzly day and looking for indoors and interesting, the Fella and I Unilocaled our way to this beer-​and-​free-​fun-​stuff lovers’ locale.
Holy hospitality! They offer a free 4 pm weekday tour which these tipsy tourists happily took them up on. We sampled six (maaaybe seven?) different brews whilst learning the history of the brewery, the dragon, and our tour guide. A fill-​up of our choosing and we were off on a tour!
The tour was, admittedly, short, BUT packed with info and interesting sights and our guide generously tolerated my Laverne and Shirley cracks AND then put forth a seemingly legit offer to come back in the morning to help them bottle. These guys were GREAT and the beer was delish and my only true regret is not living a smidge more southernly so that I might enjoy their handiwork on a more regular basis. (Oh, Hop Pocket and English IPA, I’m shedding a small boozy tear over yoooou!)
If you are within an hour’s drive of this brewery, heed this advice: Clear your schedule for 4 pm and enjoy your free happy hour with the fine peeps at St George’s. Also, BUY BEER. Specifically, theirs. It’s good stuff.

Fact: This is the 2^nd largest brewery in VA. The first is attached to an amusement park.
Fact: Thanksgiving was celebrated in March in Jamestown.
Fact: Cinnamon and nutmeg are added to beer to mask the taste of bad beer.
Fact: Drinking in America is really bad. This is why companies need to have your beer can change color, so you drink it ice cold and hence not ever tasting how terrible the beer actually is.
Fact: Foster’s is not really an Australian beer nor is Yellowtail an Australian made wine.
Fact: William will tell you he is a professional drinker, its his job.
Fact: St. George was a dragon slayer.
These are some of the things you will hear from William if you end up visiting the brewery. To be honest, it was a bit annoying, entertaining, and made our stay a bit longer than we wanted but you get free samples that for the amount of time we stayed, combined, you probably end up drinking about a pint. He gave us seconds when another group came in.
the facts could easily be disputed, who knows.
The beer here is really good. I was impressed with every single thing they made. The pilsner is excellent and carry a nice bold taste unlike other pilsners. The Oktoberfest is excellent. You can find 16 tap lines at Busch Gardens. Impressive, isn’t it?
Thier Bock ale will not give you a hangover. I am usually not a fan of Bock anything but this was pretty good. Winter Scotch Stout-​awesome. IPA-​excellent.
Overall, this place makes an outstanding brew. So, come visit and learn a thing or two!

Small place and the owner/​brewer gives you their tour. Good time for beer geeks and always fun to see different breweries set-​ups.

I don’t love giving out 5 stars, but this place really is about as good as it gets for local beer in the southeast of Virginia. We stopped by to have a quick taste and tour of the place, and were a little confused at first. The entrance is a little weird, as the tasting room is back in the actual brewery (follow the signs). There were half a dozen or so beers on tap which the bartender (who is also co-​brewmaster) led us through in a very amusing fashion. It was clear he enjoyed talking to people about beer, and gave us a great tour of the place. We also ran into the other brewmaster (his father and the owner of the place), who poured us some beer fresh off a fermenter. After the tour we were told that there were a number of specials on cases of beer, and we were able to pick up an entire case (24 twelve oz bottles) of some of their beer for $ 9.95.
The short story is that if you’re in the area you should check this place out. If you live anywhere near this place you should make frequent trips to check on current beer specials and things like that. And make sure to ask for their beer in your local bars.

Great beer and fun tour! Lots of beer for sale for carry out in their tasting room. Although it is some of the only local brew in the area, they are making nationally competitive beer. I only wish we had been here earlier in my vacation so I could have stocked up. I would have drank their beer for the whole trip.

I decided to tour the local breweries today and I have to say this one blew the competition out of the water. It’s off the beaten path, but worth the drive.
The owner served me and was unbelievably friendly. He even took my fiancé and I on a small tour of the place. All the beers were great, not too hoppy, great malty flavor. I’m proud to find a craft brewery such as Saint George’s in my new backyard.

Support your local brewery!
I’ve been meaning to take a trip to St George for a while, I’ve been in the area for about a year and a half now and have had their beer at my favorite gastropub a few times. Always a solid product.
I went today with my wife for the tasting tour and had a very good time. The tour was very informative and we had a sampling of five or six of the beers on tap. The tourguide who is also the son of the owner, gave us a brief history of each type of beer we sampled and answered any questions we had.
We ended up purchasing a case of the winter seasonal Stout and a six-​pack of the new spring lager.
St George is very involved in the community and produces specific beer for several local buisnesses. They also participate in events like the Ghent Charity Pub Crawl.
If you have a chance stop by and visit the hospitality room, sample a few brews and meet the folks who make the best beer in our area.
