“ We had been talking about checking this place out sometime and one of our favorite bands playing gave us the perfect opportunity. They have live music pretty frequently and it looks to be a mix of free and paid shows. The stage is basically nestled in the woods. They have some seating available but you can also bring your own chairs. It's very pretty with the stage and the lights and just an enjoyable place to relax and enjoy the music. They do have a nice size taproom but we didn't spend time inside really other than bathrooms and beer. They also had beer available outside and a food truck on site. Service was friendly and prices were reasonable. They had a decent variety on draft. In my mind though the beers were just ok. So nothing to drive out of your way for but also fine to drink if you are nearby or just want to enjoy some live music in a cool venue. I recommend checking it out and keep an eye on the event calendar to see if something catches your eye. ”

“ Great venue for an outdoor concert by my favorite local band, but could also picture hanging out in the taproom. Plenty of different seating options outside, but if you're going to see a popular band and want to sit close to the stage area, you may want to bring your own chairs or get there early. Can't speak to the quality of their beer, since I am gluten-free, but they had plenty of other good options for adult beverages, and the prices were reasonable. The staff was friendly and efficient despite the venue being so busy. ”

“ Beer was good and venue was pretty awesome. Small indoor space and most of the property is outside so plan accordingly. We saw a band here and the sound is fantastic for an outdoor space. They also have food trucks. It reminded me of camping with beer and music. Lots of fun. ”

“ Good truck on hand. Attentive bar service with seltzers and wine options available. Great ambiance with open doors towards the back patio area. Dogs allowed in outside area. ”

“ Great atmosphere and drink selection is good. I really enjoyed the open area and multiple choices of seating. You can feel relaxed without being on top of each other. ”

“ Nice little get away spot, like the outdoor venue with a top notch band to go along with the flavorful brews. Drop by a try a few of their craft beers. ”

“ Wow! If you haven't visited in 2024, they've made Big Rail even bigger & better. There is now inside taproom/bar, yes with bathrooms! Oh & inside they do have also some PA seltzers, wines & spirits. A new larger stage in the woods & the smaller stage that was there before. A heated covered tent with tables. Still great music, beer, dog friendly, overall unique place to visit! ”

“ Super cool and unique brewery concept!! Based in the outdoors, almost in the woods behind the building, this allows you to relax and enjoy him with friends. There are fire pits to sit around, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and a few small covered seats to choose from. Off in the corner are cornhole boards and in the back a big sand box for kids to play and build in. There's also plenty of small stages for musicians to play live music, which really added to the fun atmosphere. It truly feels like a big party while camping or at a park. The beer is purchased out of a trailer where they offer 6 or so options. I went with the Old Blue Lager and enjoyed it. Want too hoppy, instead very refreshing and light. A Mexican food truck also is parked nearby for you to order food. I'd definitely like to come back in the fall to enjoy the leaves and chilled weather around the fire with a cold beer. ”

“ I noticed that I don't hand out enough 4s and 5s, so I feel like I had to adjust my rating scale. Big Rail is one of all-time favortie breweries, so it should really be a "5". Here's my updated scale: 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here. 4 - I'd drive up to 30 minutes just to come here. 3 - Solid choice if you're in the area. 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices nearby. 1 - Just don't. ”

“ I'm so glad I found this place. It's a magical little spot in the woods. Everything is outdoors. We were there on a relatively cold night in December. There was a shelter with enclosed tarps and space heaters. That was nice and not too cold. There was also a roaring bonfire. I just thought the vibe was awesome. I only stayed for a (very yummy) drink because it was so cold, but I will visit again in the warm weather! On to the drinks - I was there with my husband and our daughter. We adults both enjoyed our beers a lot. I had the brown and also tried the barleywine which were tasty. My husband had the stout and loved it. They had hot chocolate for my kid - a big plus! They also had a food truck there that was pretty tasty as well. Definitely a spot you should check out. I can't wait to travel up there again. We were heading down the road to Keystone Safari - if you are traveling there this would be a great place to stop before or after. It's also super close to the Outlets, so once again a great spot before or after. ”
