Fermata Brewing Company — Restaurant in Ambridge

Fermata is a stunning modern brewery. There’s tons of seating and tables and they do allow dogs inside. They don’t serve food other than pretzels for purchase, however, you can bring your own or they usually have food trucks outside (when we went, they had 2 BBQ trucks).

The beers are good and we’d highly recommend the Holiday Punch - it’s very light in flavor but smooth.

The only thing I will say about Fermata is that they usually also have live music - while that’s a nice added touch, it makes for a very LOUD environment.

The bathrooms are also spotless and are tended to throughout the day (I even overheard one staff member saying to a female staff member to let him know about the men’s room and he’ll take care of it).

When we sat at the bar, they had cleaned it several times and tried to clean it before anyone else sat down - it’s a big place so they do their best with cleanings, but we’re happy to clean your table upon request.

We chatted with one of the owners (a bigger guy behind the bar) and he was super nice. He was telling the people next to us all about Fermata and even gave them a behind the scenes look at the back of the brewery which was awesome.

Overall, highly recommend for a really...

tl;dr Visit here; I hope to again soon. Worthy beers, welcoming vibe.

SAT 5APR, ~8p arrival. Female vocalist/keyboard. Food: Annie Lee's Kitchen Weather: 60F, drizzly

Vibe: Family, lotsa kids, very welcoming. UK pub-style feel. Larger space, lots of tables.

SITREP I was there w/ a meetup, older, lighter-skinned demographic. Moderate # of people, business was brisk.

UGH sorry, no pix!

Beers I tried; all % are ABV: • taste of the Dr Peters' Dark Mild 3.5% Not dark, seemed a bigger flavor than mild. If you're here for any length of time, consider this. Very good. RECOMMENDED.

• Out of the Pils 5.1% I'm inclined to crisp German pilsners; this was true to that, crisp, straightforward.

• Extra Practice 7.7% Imperial Light Lager Careful. Didn't taste 7.7 and end of the glass comes quickly and easily.

• Out of Tune: Blueberry Plum 5.4% Fruited Sour Lightly sour, lightly flavored.

• River Runs Red 5.1% Irish Red Ale True to form; goodly amount of flavor. Another sessionable if you are walking/have a...

Was there on opening day this past weekend, and, gotta say, this place has a lot of promise and potential, and mostly lived up to to it. Top priority as a customer: the beer. Between me & my bride, we tried 3 varieties, all delicious. In the future we’re hoping for some higher-octane varieties, but what we sampled were legit good. Apparently we can expect food trucks, which is a good sign. There were 2 for the grand opening, one of which we refuse to patronize. Hopefully they’ll rotate the trucks until and unless they get their own kitchen one day. The ordering/payment system was a bit slow, but that was likely because they were wildly busy. Overall, the staff seemed to be well-prepared and on top of things. Professionalism! – A good sign. Lastly, they have a performance space, and while we were there there was an entertaining, tight surf guitar trio (The Boss Stingrays, seek ‘em out). Looking forward to relaxing brews and local music. Keep up...
