Dogberry Brewing

In an industrial/business area. Converted business place with some outside space in the front. You can still very clearly make out the "Fastenal" sign that used to be there. They used light stings and cozy chairs to create some atmosphere outside. Inside is rather blunt, and the restroom is still what it probably was before they made it a brewery. This one toilet room were you need to go person after person. Come on guys, really??? I have zero tolerance for this kind of thing. If you start a brewery and want 50+ dudes to drink there at a time, have a decent restroom with a couple urinals for crying out loud! Not much heart in this place. I think one visit was enough, I will probably not be back.

Address has changed; they are now 3-4 miles south of their original location, a 1/2 mile or so off of Cin-Day road. Lots of TVs, Cement floor which makes a lot of noise when people are playing their giant Jenga set. Not much in the way of atmosphere. They don't seem to have much luck with food trucks; the last time I went they were just packing up 2 hours earlier than scheduled because there was a birthday party and no one was buying food. And their twitter feed frequently announces food truck cancellations. So come prepared to leave hungry. Beer are decent with a lot of choices.

A wonderful experience with a newer brewery to me and one that has a wide range of
brews worthy of trying. From stouts to lagers and DIPA's, this place has it nailed down right.
Atmosphere is industrial with the main focus on the beer itself. Not flashy but focused on what they do
right. English centered ales with American inspiration and fantastic service. Wish they would brew some
Belgian style ales, but according to the waiter the brewers are not into them. That said, they have 20 taps of
great ales and lagers worthy of trying.

Give them a shot. Go for the beer, they don't have food other than food trucks that arrive which is fine and a
lot less hassle for the brewery.

Cheers

Updated review, tried some of what they had on tap
and wondering if they got rid of the original brewer. Hopped to
death, questionable on style, and a one hop note wonder.
Loved the older stuff, this is a hop loaded mess with no balance.

The place is out of the way in the more industrial area of West Chester. The place is small - "nano" brewery and there were about 10 parking spots. The inside has a nice bar and a couple of picnic tables. To get to the bathroom, you have to snake through the coolers and equipment. The main decorations are beer bottles/cans from the world's best breweries. Met a few very serious beer geeks on a Saturday afternoon. Great beer, so good that they will be expanding to a new location. Enjoy the original location/vibe while you can.

 

This is going to be a combo review. I never got around to it for their original location. It was a bit of a hodgepodge of picnic tables, weird art and old bottles. Not a bad place. Parking was really, really awful. The new place is in a totally soulless industrial park. The beer has always been consistent and a little lacking. The service is great and I really want these guys to do well. I just do not love the beer.

Nice, small neighborhood brewer. Great selection of beers made in small batches. Neat little place.
