36° Fifty Brewing - Marion, Virginia

What a wonderful find in Marion! A new brewery (and I think the only brewery) in town, this place is everything a local brewery should be. Super friendly staff/owners (who tolerated my wild toddler), relaxed atmosphere with things to do (homemade ping pong table, sweet old console tv), and most importantly, tasty beer!

We tried the NE IPA, regular pale ale, fruited wheat, lager, and the Irish stout. All were very competently brewed and had excellent, complex flavors. The staff are very open about the stories behind their beers and will tell you where the ingredients came from, which is really cool to know. They provide very generous-sized tasters, reasonable pint prices, and offer bombers and growlers to take home.

Most impressive of all is they opened mid-covid times and have thus far survived. Overall excellent place and we can't wait to come back and see what new brews they come up with.

Curtis and crew are super friendly! He brings years of home brew we experience and is super professional. It's not his hobby,. It's a passion. All of his beers are tasty and on par with his peers .

You are missing out if you don't stop by 36° Fifty. I totally recommend his Rye Ale. The tasting room has a great ambience. Visit twice.

Quiet little brewery that's newer! Only 5 beers and a seltzer but they do it well. Irish stout was my favorite and I plan on coming back again to see what else they make for their taps. Very conveniently within walking distance of several restaurants. Give em a stop!

We stopped for drinks at 36 Fifty Brewing while camping at Hungry Mother with our dog. It's relatively new and the only brewery around. Since they don't serve food, dogs are allowed inside so we could have a couple drinks while Alex was trying to make friends with the other dogs. Staff were super friendly and nice to the dog and they have really good beer. Great place to hang out in Marion.

We loved this little brewery! It's a great space with a nice, big bar and plenty of tables. Beer was great and we chatted with the owner for a long time and he was positively lovely! Whenever we're in this area again we will definitely be back! Don't miss this gem!

The best brewery in Marion! Awesome music and ambiance. Trendy thrift store vibes. Super friendly beertenders. Gave us suggestions for places to check out around town. Will definitely visit again!

Excited to go and have the brewery in town, went there hoping for a fun place to hang out. Walked in and knew it would be, as the atmosphere was exactly what we thought it would be and could see the potential once socializing picks up again. Unfortunately, we had a different experience from other reviews of the beverages. Sampled a couple and ordered 1 full size drink each, different from the samples which were either flat or tasted like some kind of cleanser was in them, which we couldn't finish. As there were a few people at the bar, rather than say anything, we took turns emptying our glasses down the bathroom drain. We do have plans of going back to try again sometime, hoping the other reviews are not just a case of, "The Emporer's New Clothes", and if they were, maybe the honesty will help the owners, as we really want this place to be around for a long time. We're sorry to have not said something in person.

Such an awesome experience! We are visiting Hungry Mother SP from Roanoke, VA and we didn’t realize they closed at 5. My husband went in to purchase something to go and they insisted on staying open for us. Beer and atmosphere was excellent and the people were so friendly. Highly recommend!
