Red Oak Brewery location

Red Oak Brewery is located in Whitsett, North Carolina. The address is 6901 Konica Drive, Whitsett, NC 27377. The brewery began as a brewpub in Greensboro, North Carolina, in February 1991. However, as the beer grew in popularity, production needs exceeded the capacity of the original brewpub. As a result, in the summer of 2007, Red Oak Brewery opened a new, modern, computerized brewery in the nearby community of Whitsett. The original brewpub was then closed.

Today, Red Oak Brewery claims to be the largest craft lager-only brewery in the United States. The brewery is dedicated to its craft and follows the traditional 1516 Bavarian Law of Purity, also known as the Reinheitsgebot. This law dictates that only Bavarian malted barley, noble hops, and lager yeast are used in the brewing process. Red Oak Brewers, known as the "Brew Crew", have over 60 years of combined experience and are highly knowledgeable about their craft.

The brewery offers tours from Monday to Friday at 9:00 am and 4:00 pm, with an additional tour on Friday at 4:30 pm. The tours begin at the Lager Haus, where visitors can also unwind and enjoy a drink. The Lager Haus is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, Fridays from 4:00 pm to midnight, Saturdays from 12:00 pm to midnight, and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

In addition to the Lager Haus, Red Oak Brewery also features a BierGarten, which opened in December 2017. Here, visitors can enjoy fresh lagers, wine, food trucks, and shopping. The BierGarten provides a charming, old-world ambience with garden sculptures, a gift shop, and food trucks. It is the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day.
