Loose Shoe Brewing Company

"We love local stuff and we like this place alot. Even a few good ones for a picky drinker like me."

"Loose Shoe is our all time favorite brewery. We moved to Amherst a few years ago and were kind of skeptical about a brewery in a shopping center and didn't try it out for a while, but once we did, we were very sorry we waited so long. The owners are super friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing, and if you go again and again, you'll be treated like family by everyone. The beer is great and rotates often. They have a crowler machine so you can take beer to go, they offer snacks and you can bring in food! We moved away in August and miss it terribly."

"Are you looking for a brew that hits the spot? Look no further. Loose Shoe has everything a beer filled heart can desire. So, if you find yourself on Route 29 around Amherst be sure to stop by and have a pint or two. The great beer is complimented by great service and super friendly Loosesholigans that make the experience grand. Cheers!!"

"We stopped here after hiking and enjoyed a flight on the patio with our dog who made dog friends with a few others. The other dogs were bigger than ours and fit through the wider fence gap but it is awkward to have the dog on the patio without us while we go around to enter from inside. But our dog and those inside the patio were super friendly and had a great time. We enjoyed comparing very different beers and found our favorites. The patio view isn't picturesque but the fun relaxing atmosphere and affordable flights of craft beer made it a five for us."

"This is a great place with a friendly atmosphere that is a gem for Amherst, VA. Sitting just off of Route 29 makes this either a great hit and run spot, or a place to hang out for several hours! Which is just what myself and a group of four friends did! At the time of this review they have 11 beers on tap, and a non-alcoholic root beer on tap as well. My friends and I got two of their "mega" flights. At a current cost of $12 for twelve 3oz pours in a flight it's a steal for those that are both new to the craft beer space and those with more discerning taste buds. Something that separates this brewery from many others is the option of a "half pint", which is exactly what it sounds like, an 8oz pour! Their taproom is full of great horse and pony show artistry which will make many folks have a good laugh. And, for men specifically, the toilet has a very funny gag piece that is a collage of toilets in pubs across Ireland! I could go on about how cool this little place is, but why spoil the whimsy for everyone. If you have a chance, go give them a visit. You won't be disappointed!"
