I have been coming here for a very long time, almost since they opened up. It used to be one of my favorite breweries, sadly not... anymore. The atmosphere has definitely changed, and not for the better. Most of the staff are still friendly and accommodating,but not all them. It's also getting easier to find a seat, since they are not as popular as they used to be. They still have agood selection of regular beers and also seasonal beers. You can buy most beers to take home in a 64oz. growler or in a 32oz.crowler, you just pick your beer and they'll bottle it for you on the spot. They don't sell food but you can order from some ofthe local places and have it delivered. Dan's Pizza has a free delivery service to Alter Brewing. If you're looking for a placeto host a special event, they got you covered. They have a small facility in the front tap room and a huge barrel room in backof the brewery. Read more

Awesome place to host an event. Very attentive staff, and a wonderful wedding reception!

Good brewery with some very good beers. Nice open space to enjoy a beer with friends and family both inside and outside. ... Adding a food truck would make this the perfect spot! Read more

Came here for the first time on the afternoon of Saturday, December 18, 2021 and wondered why I didn?t come here sooner. The... place was clean, energetic, and fun. The bartender Amy was amazing- very friendly, energetic, and knew the beer list very well.I got two beer flights, each with four beers, and all of them were very good to excellent. Know that the beer flights don?t havea fixed price, rather each beer has its own price for the flight and was reasonable given the high quality. My favorite was the?Power Off? barrel aged stout which I highly recommend- made well for the style and one worthy to sip and enjoy. They sell beerin growlers, crowlers, bottles and cans- I strongly recommend to buy and take home! The brewery is in an industrial park whichis clean and has plenty of spaces in the parking lot. I will definitely return here next time I?m in the area. A must go place! Read more

We held our son and daughter-in-law's wedding celebration in the barrel room. Amy helped us get the room set up just the way we... wanted and the night went off without a hitch. The beer was delicious, the space is charming. All in all, just a wonderfulnight. Thank you Alter, for making our party so special. Read more

The pours seem to have gotten smaller and the prices higher. The IPA is excellent but when you're paying $9 after tip for less... beer it feels like short term profits over of long term relationships. Nice environment in an out-of-the-way industrial park.They have games, high-top community style tables and a designated area for larger groups. It seems to be very popular with theGen X crowd. The beer on the whole is consistently smooth and easy to drink; nothing too risky, hoppy, tart, or high AVB - alsogood selection and helpful, people-centered service Read more
