Hoots Roller Bar & Beer Co.

Thursday I was meeting nursefefe in Winston-Salem, NC and decided to stop in hootsbeercompany since I had never been before. So I celebrated New Brew Thursday with a New Brewery. Hoots is a microbrewery that makes “blue collar brews of unmatched character.” They combine old world elements with secrets, imagination and rock and roll. They also believe you will enjoy the beer you were born to imbibe.

The decor is eclectic and there are owls all over the place! I like owls! They are my fraternity’s mascot! #phisigmakappa Everyone was really friendly and the beers were great!

I started with their Black IPA. This one has Boscuit Rye and de-bittered black barley. It is hopped with El Dorado, Mosaic and Citra. The sniff test is citrus, which is surprising from the color, but the Citra hop is really shining. The taste follows with citrus up front and a roastiness on the finish. It is not quite a burnt roast, but almost.

MC Juicy was next. It is an American IPA. The label art was designed by ianbredice and part of the proceeds go to his cancer recovery. This one smells citrusy and fruity. It has a strong grapefruit flavor, is juicy and has just a little bitterness.

The Blueberry Coconut Cream Ale sounded interesting so I had to try it. The color is a purpley amber and the aroma is blueberry. It has a creamy mouthfeel with coconut all the way through the sip. Blueberry comes through at the end. It isn’t something I would normally go for, but I’m glad I tried it, because it’s good!

Hoots Beer Company might not be a large spot, but I think it’s worth a visit if you are in Winston-Salem. I can’t believe I had never been.

hootsbeercompany was closing when we got there, but they were kind enough to give us a couple beers to take and sample. 🍻😬 #RaynorShine #RaynorShineBeerTour #CraftBeer #Breweries #RoadTrip #AdventuresOfPeckerwoodAndWhiteGlaze #BobAndLinda #KeepTheWeNess #Brews #Experiences #hootsbeercompany #hootsbeer #ipabeer ...

You gotta go!


I’ve got another Winston-Salem brewery for you to add to the list. This place doesn’t feel like your typical brewery (but they do brew their own amazing beer!). It feels a bit more like a local pub and the minute I walked in, I knew it was my kinda place.


It’s unassuming. It’s welcoming. It’s rustic. It’s comfortable. It’s eclectic. It’s hootsbeercompany 🦉


I loved exploring their courtyard and outdoor areas. My MC Juicy IPA could not have been better. Coming in at 6.3% ABV.


Hope everyone’s Monday is a real HOOT.

Had to do it.
