Decided to visit for the first time on a Tuesday knowing that it can get very busy on weekends. It was the right call. White Oak Brewing offers a welcoming atmosphere! The server was very attentive and courteous!  Their brews are fantastic!

A little helper helped make this visit great.

Aside from visiting coffeehouses, Emily and I like to hit up local breweries for a drink or two. After some shenanigans all day, we needed a few beers before heading back home for the night. We dropped in right after open and there were already a few patrons inside. We took a few minutes to look over the menu and then took our beers outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather.

We initially sat at one of the round tables but Emily wanted to break out my pub kit (its a little container I keep in my car full of card and dice games), so we hopped on over to a picnic table. We played some Uno while sipping beers and talking about nothing. I got a hazy IPA called Little Helper and Em got a blonde called Holla Atcha. We both sampled each other beers and while I liked hers, Em loved mine. So much so that for our second beer, she got the Little Helper. I decided to get the Cannonball Comin’ since it was another hazy IPA. While it was really good, we both gave Little Helper the edge on being tastier and hitting that sweet spot on a gorgeous day.

Before we left, we hit up the merch stand. They had plenty of shirts, hats, stickers, magnets and various other things. I wasn’t feeling any of their shirts but did get a sticker and magnet. Emily got herself a sticker that was Grateful Dead-themed. As we were slowly wrapping up our visit, the place started picking up and getting busy. This location was a bit removed from everything. It reminded me a bit of Evergreen Farm Brewing in that it was quiet and sitting outside was very enjoyable.

White Oak was a great stop and a great way to end a day in Bloomington. I’ll definitely be back for some more beer and maybe a shirt (or more stickers and magnets).

Stay frosty!

Excellent beer, friendly people.  If you like hazy IPAs this is the spot, I think they had 4-5 varieties.

Stopped here on a layover during a road trip. We had our two dogs and infant daughter with us. The patio is beautiful & relaxing. The crowd was warm and welcoming. The beer is terrific.

We gathered some friends for a 50th birthday at White Oak. It was a perfect place to celebrate. Craig was responsive to all of our questions ahead of time. We were able to bring some party trays and desserts. The patio offered the perfect amount of shade and was comfortable for all of our guests.  All the staff were wonderful and the beers were fantastic, as usual. This is our favorite stop when we are in Bloomington.
