They say it best in their name… Awesome beer? Check Awesome brats? CHECK Came here after a visit to the Arbor Hill Winery for dinner and solid choice after having wine all day(not that that’s a bad thing). Super casual place– definitely nothing fancy with limited menu options but that’s the beauty of it. We ordered the brat sampler platter which came with 5 brats, 2 pieces of bread, and sauerkraut. The Andouille and Chicken Sausages were my favorite, made even better with the 6 table sauces available. Also got the beer flight which came with 4 pours AND a souvenir glass for the taking. Win win all around!

We stopped on the way home at Brew & Brats located behind the Arbor Hill stand in Naples and let me say if you have never been, go there now… The food is nothing fancy but the flavor is off the charts good… They also have wonderful micro brewed local draft which are very well made… The rolls come from NJ and finished there in the pub and let me tell ya folks, they rock when combined with a beautiful Brat… It doesn’t get any better than this… My Dad was stuffed like a turkey and he really fell in love with this spot as well… I have been here once before when they first opened a couple years back and it was good, but now it’s fantastic… Check em out soon while the driving is good…

Very casual place for a beer and a sausage. In warm weather their seating capacity goes up 10X with tables under a couple of tents. The staff is super friendly and the food is very good — not a big menu so if you don’t like sausages you might want to try someplace else. I really liked the selection of sauces on the tables. I loved the pub mustard so much that I bought a jar of this sweet stuff. The andouille sausage was spicy hot as advertised — even the chicken sausage had a nice kick. The sauerkraut and German potato salad were pretty good though I’ve had better. Opted for their root beer which was very good since I don’t care for the styles of beer they had on draft — how about a wheat beer for summer? A bonus on this Saturday evening was the live music that started around six pm which added to the laid-back vibe of B&B.

Brews and Brats is a gem. What a great hang out. Awesome beer, wine and brats of all kinds. We stopped in after hunting. Friendly staff. 150+ year old carriage house with cool signs and memorabilia.

I love the uniqueness of their brats. The sample platter gives you 5 different types of brats, a huge container of kraut and bread. 6 different sauces to choose from at the table. The kraut has pineapple and bacon in it giving it a great sweet smoky flavor. Seating is generally shared long tables. Live music on weekends. If you’re not into sausages, thers not really anything else on the menu. But the purpose of going here is the sausages!

The brats are good– I tried all of them in a brat sampler platter. The surprise of the day was that my favorite was the one that sounded the least appetizing to me: the apricot cranberry brat. You need to try that one if you make it here! There are several mustard/sauces to try on the brats. The beer was also tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by both the Frog Hollow Pale Ale and the Turtle Crawl Porter. I believe the beers are brewed at CB. My only complaint was the sauerkraut. It contains Arbor Hill Wine, pineapple, bacon and juniper berries. For me personally one of the best things about sauerkraut is the simplicity and the fact that it should just taste like wonderful, plain sauerkraut. This recipe was a little overkill. I think I would recommend going in the summertime because they open the side area to the restaurant up and also put out some tents and additional tables. The interior of the restaurant is a renovated barn, cozy but dark. I would probably appreciate dining-in on a cold winters night. We got some brats to go, the staff was very friendly and hospitable. Will definitely be back. Bonus points for bringing out a water dish for our dog with out even having to ask. :)

Love this place! If you like good beer and good food then you’ll like this place. Menu is mainly sausage and homemade sides. Excellent food. This is one of my stops on the bike when I’m riding this amazing countryside. Don’t pass it up.

$ 6.50 for a brat. Flavor was good but brat was plain on bread and nothing else comes with it. Very disorganized, long line to pay bill. Only one bathroom, long line. If they are going to charge these amounts, they need to get better organized and get more restrooms.

Brew and brats is great. Super good locally made beers, good sausages and a fun rustic music venue. It’s very casual in a nice furnished barn. If the brown hound bistro still isn’t doing it for you, and you’ve tried it one times too many times(twice) then head over to brew and brats. I would absolutely go here again. Have some popcorn, a good beer, and a sausage and forget about the awkward experience you just had me t door.

Great spot! Friendly staff who took great care of us. We enjoyed the sausages and beers! Stopped with the kids after picking up our passes at Bristol. Definitely plan to come back many times after our ski trips this coming winter!

Stopped in Beers and Brats after walking out of the Brown Hound Bistro(don’t go there) and I was so happy I made the decision to do so. Beers and Brats has a simple menu with some great beers on tap. The pumpkin ale they had was delicious. This place is simple and brought me a feeling of home. They have a few couple starters, delicious brats, a few deserts and great hospitality. Very welcoming. I believe this place is only open friday, sat, sunday so make sure you stop in when you are in town.

Excellent beer and excellent brats. Best sauerkraut that either of us have ever had. And we have travelled in Germany. Don’t expect anything else.

This is a hidden gem! Tucked away behind the Arbor Hill Wineries and right next door to the Brown Hound Bistro… you can easily make this little spot into quite an evening! We got to Brown Hound a little early and decided to venture over to the newly opened Brew & Brats. We were greeted by Tom, the manager, to a special of a $ 4 beer tasting! We got to taste four very generous samples of their local brews, including a pale ale, IPA, lager, and the Canandaigua Lake Ale, which was my favorite. He was extremely generous in the servings, and we even got a little souvenir beer glass as part of the deal! Also served popcorn as a nice little treat during the tasting. I think this place offered you more for your money, at least compared to Hazlitt’s, which we went to earlier that afternoon. The staff was more than friendly, taking time to explain to us the difference between the brews and what to expect. There was even a Bachelorette party there celebrating, so it ended up being quite a fun afternoon. Although we didn’t eat there, they did have an impressive menu! They do great pairings of a brat(all different and inventive combinations of hot dogs) and a brew to go along with it, all for what seemed like a reasonable price. The inside had a very Finger-Lakes-local flare, and was filled with locals to match, all seated on large round wooden tables. I was so impressed with how friendly and nice an atmosphere this was. If you are in the Naples area sampling some inevitably stuffy wineries, take a break and go down to Brew & Brats… you won’t regret it!
