How we score

The editorial take

Wibby Brewing builds its taproom around modern, traditional, and specialty lagers, with a draft list that runs from year-round to seasonal and rotational. The program has the hardware to back it up: GABF Brewery & Brewer of the Year honors, gold medals for Wibby Jibby and Volksbier Vienna, and Grand Gold for Lightshine Helles. Volksbier Vienna also earned a 100-point rating from Wine Enthusiast.

What should I order?: Start with Volksbier Vienna, the year-round amber lager that took GABF gold and a 100-point rating from Wine Enthusiast. Wibby Jibby, the GABF 2023 gold-winning Cold IPA, and Lightshine Helles, a Frankfurt Grand Gold winner, are the other benchmark pours.
Who will enjoy this place?: Lager drinkers who care about pilsners, helles, dunkels, bocks, and radlers will find a focused draft list. The medal record and the range from traditional to specialty lagers suit anyone who wants to compare styles rather than chase a single flagship.
When should I go?: The taproom serves its lagers seven days a week, so any day works for a visit built around a few drafts.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The program is unusually decorated for a lager-focused brewery: GABF Brewery & Brewer of the Year for 5,001-15,000 bbls, multiple GABF golds, a Frankfurt Grand Gold, and a Wine Enthusiast 100-point rating for Volksbier Vienna. The draft list stays broad across lagers rather than resting on one flagship.
