Center of the Universe Brewing Company

Stopped here on my way through Virginia and had a really great time. Love that you could do a flight of four or of eight because that really lets you sample the menu. The brewery itself has a great layout where there's a game room as soon as you walk in to the right which is great for kids then there's the bar area which has a very sleek style to it and you can continue through to the outside area as well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Get their flagship IPA!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Awesome kick back vibe with several pinball machines. Winter brews are stout heavy which is good for me! Thanks for making my service animal and I feel so welcome.

Great brewery with many good beer options. I opted for a raspberry wit since it was a warm autumn afternoon. Hit the spot. Nice sitting spots both indoors and out. Recommend this brewery for both beer and atmosphere! Pick up some 4-packs to go while you are there.

I am delighted to review this place. First time here and I have to say...this place is AWESOME!. Best local beer, good food and great environment in one place. The best part is their social responsibility and commitment to help local organizations such a Feed More. I had a nice conversation with Thom about why helping local non profits and support other local businesses. Such a great and interesting story! I highly recommended to visit this place, their beer, food, service and environment amazing....plus point the terraza! Good job!

Everything about this place is great. A lot of solid, classic style beers with some experimentals. Cool vibe with retro decor and pinball machines inside and picnic tables surrounded by and covered by hop vines outside (and dog friendly!). And the staff is the absolute best of any brewery in the area! A lot of fun regular and special events, including bingo every Sunday. Well worth the quick detour back into the industrial park.

Situated north of Richmond in Hanover, this brewery not only provides a variety of tasty beverages but also features friendly, helpful service for those interested in learning more about their current beer selections. Along with offering bingo every hour on Sundays and live music, they also have a fantastic outdoor area.

Great place to grab a "Great Lebowski" themed beer, the "Jesus"was wonderful! I felt as if I was wearing a purple jumpsuit and getting ready to knock some pins. Has a cheers like ambiance, seeing there are many local regulars. Close enough to Richmond to make a trip and far enough out to actually enjoy the time not in the city. Lots of activities they have bingo, bluegrass jams, and a burlesque monthly, not all the same night but they are there! Love this place! I hope to return soon!

A wonderful gathering place for friends and family. Great beer paired with Freekin’ Rican (Puerto Rican Food) served on the back terrace. Inside with big screens, pinball machines, and generic tabletop games. I recommend the White Queso Chicken Nachos and the Monkey’s Uncle on draft. Would love to comeback for the next live music event! Thanks again!

Finally!!! A quality microbrewery with great personality and welcoming staff. Oh, by the way, currently the summer tap selections are light and delicious.
Flight samples (in order of preference):
#1 Pineapple Whip: surprisingly subtle flavor and refreshing;
#2 Wheat Ale: a familiar yet different wheat experience;
#3 Brewski Lager: a true lager, rich flavor where it needs to be;
#4 Richmond Rally Cap: Whoa! An orange shandy. First time, aside of the typical lemon shandys, that I hope catches on for its juicy citrus back flavor.

Beer is absolutely delicious the staff is great and they had a great food truck worth the drive to come here in the rain

What a great place! After staying home for a few months, we were looking for a place to go since things are opening back up slowly. This place was amazing! They had the social distancing down and the staff was amazing. We ordered the chicken nachos and I had the Orange Blossom Honey Ale and all I can say is WOW! The drinks and the food were top notch! And yes, I took some of really Honey Ale home! Highly recommended and we will definitely be going again!

We went here last night for my husband’s 40th birthday party. Thom was amazing helping us plan a day and time. Anna Britt was the manager last night and she was absolutely phenomenal. So accommodating, letting us set up how we wanted to and having really as many tables as we needed. Super great experience here with the best customer service!

Best beer brewing place in rva! Great service, good beer and pinball! Love love love this place!

Wonderful evening listening to Russ Groover share songs from his youth and young adult life! Russ is a talented soloist and guitarist! I so enjoyed singing along at my table as I traveled down memory lane! Thanks for the wonderful evening with beautiful music and good friends!

Fantastic microbrewery. Beautifully crafted beer. Friendly service. Great atmosphere. Check out the foodtoo.

Great place to feel like "normal" again after visiting beer garden, rethemed as a summer camp fun (for social distancing)

Very nice brewery. I'm a dark beer fan and I really enjoyed Orange Is The New Stout! 6 pinball machines to pick from plus board games on a shelf.

Nice place to go have a beer. I got a flight of non-ipa beers, and they had a good selection to pick from. The game room was a nice addition! Kids enjoyed that while the adults relaxed.

I had a great experience here. The venue is very nice, especially outside. The beers were all good. The customer service was outstanding. A worker, I believe his name was Tom, was very inviting and welcoming. When I was finished he was very helpful with recommendations for the area. His friendly attitude and eagerness to help are rare qualities. If he was a manager or owner, he is certainly one I would want to work for!

Great staff, brews were awesome and loved the pinball machines!!!
