Start with the Southern Lager, the brew that made Fullsteam. Then go down the rabbit hole with the rest of their delightful beers! Great open atmosphere for catching up with friends, old and new!
Stephni HillFebruary 20, 2015All you beer loving yogis: don't miss out on Sunday yoga. It's donation based, and finishes up right at noon so you can grab a beer afterwards. Be sure to get there early though, it fills up quick.
Michael MJune 21, 2015Comfortable seating, wide variety of beers to try with new ones coming on"steam" frequently. Buy their outstanding design tshirts to show your friends your excellent taste in locally brewed beer.
The News & ObserverJuly 2, 2012Try any of their Plow to Pint beers, which are made with North Carolina agricultural products. Try Hogwash, a hickory-smoked porter; Carver Sweet Potato and First Frost, a wild persimmon ale. Read more
Make sure to go to Trivia on Thursdays, but be sure to go early it fills up fast. Awesome selection of beers, for something a little funky try to the Kentucky Common
jiresellJanuary 1, 2017Really enjoyed the variety of beers here! They also have a great selection of board games to play while you drink.
My favorite brewery in the Triangle. Haven't had a bad beer there yet, and the atmosphere is just awesome. Working Man's Lunch is my all-time fave. Great seasonals, too.
Love getting the half pints ($2 each!) and sampling different brews. The bourbon beer is fantastic - and so is the people watching. If you're hungry, hit up the food trucks.
Beautiful place to hang out with tasty microbrews & a food truck out front. This is a dog & family friendly place, there are often several young kids around.
Come with a clean palate/flush your tastebuds with water, so you can taste the wonderful complexity of these beers! Then fill up on whatever awesome food truck is parked outside.
KFebruary 17, 2016Cool space. Beers are A+, especially the CackaLacky! Nice stage space & lots of room. Even have games to play as you walk in.
Jane AgueroMarch 19, 2018Great selection of unconventional beer varieties - actually got to do a sampling of sours as opposed to having only one option.
Greg FullerJuly 10, 2018Nice microbrew right next door to the Pit restaurant. Only could try one beer but it was good and left me wanting more.
Fantastic beer! Great atmosphere: live music, board games, darts, you name it. Definitely try the Hog Wash porter!
Will BumgarnerOctober 8, 2015Best brewery in Durham, hands down. Welcoming atmosphere and great selection of bar games, as well as ample seating.
Visit North CarolinaApril 4, 2013Check out the Conde Nast Traveler's Fullsteam Brewery review. They're a fan of the plow-to-pint approach and the "forager" series, as we all are. Read more
Keith KisselSeptember 5, 2014The hogwash is delicious. Keep a Look out for food trucks in the area as well for a bite to eat.
This place is awesome; they have guest taps, guest tap events, R&D beers and their new stuff with Rachel's yeast is killer! GO NOW!
Dean BrowellMay 25, 2012Wonderful and unique beers in a truly memorable space - plus fantastic food trucks often support outside! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Jordan GrosecloseSeptember 27, 2014One of the best breweries around. Great beers with standard and unique choices. Love the atmosphere.
No Bull Hero $ 8 Thin sliced spice cured sliced roasted pork tenderloin with bacon,provolone cheese & ciderworks glaze!
allie sanfiAugust 2, 2011awesome space, awesome owners. the summer basil beer is great (especially with pizza). i hope they make the persimmon beer again this winter.
Michal SchmittMarch 8, 2016Rocket Science (beer) is excellent. Board games and ping pong inside. Dog friendly.
Beasley's honey white, First Frost (persimmon winter seasonal), or Cackalacky (ginger pale ale) = guaranteed success.
Andrew RomanJune 5, 2011Not a hop head? Carver sweet potato is awesome, as is the El Toro cream ale (though it's weak). And try the pear cider if they have it on tap.- BRANDON ViscontiMay 5, 2012Try the hogwash bacon beer if you enjoy dark, beasly's is delicious if you want something on the lighter side
Amanda BurdNovember 30, 2014Loved their Cackalacky Ginger Pale Ale, the Belgian wit with black pepper and the Rocket Science IPA.
Great hangout spot! Super casual, even kid friendly with ping pong and old school pinball machines. Love their beers.
Lots of dogs and kids if either of those are your thing. Always a good food truck out front.
Ethan MooreAugust 30, 2017Beers were okay. Nothing struck me as particularly amazing. It felt like it wanted to be hipster, but also wanted rich people money.
The seasonal beers are great. Try the one hop rye and the basil.- Beer 47March 17, 2012Try a beer from the Forager series. Maybe with local fruit. First Frost in particular is fantastic.
Candace CorbettJanuary 12, 2014El Toro - "American Cream Ale" - this beer is awesome but tastes slightly like boiled peanuts.
Their regular beers are awesome, but be sure to try their seasonal beers, too!
Emilio CJuly 30, 2014Great brewery. Try out the flight so you can figure out what your favorite flavor is.
- The live music has started and that grill is nice & hot. Here till 7ish
Chris VuocoloApril 25, 2014Come here when stuff at Durham Central Park, like the Art Of Cool Fest, gets rained out.
Kristen GregoryJune 26, 2011This place is dog-friendly, so feel free to grab a pint with your four-legged favorite.- Fullsteam Head And Enjoy What's Left of the Weekend with us till 8pm
- Andrew RomanFebruary 10, 2011The Carver is good. The Hogwash is flavorful. And the Moon Pie is unique. Try 'em all.
