Brewery Profile

Nansemond Brewing Station

A visitor arriving in Downtown Suffolk finds Nansemond Brewing Station in a historic 1914 building with nearly 4,700 square feet of space and 20-foot ceilings, giving the taproom a noticeably open feel. The brewery opened in 2019, after local investors took over the space formerly occupied by Brick and Mortar Brewing. Its name ties the business to several local references: former Nansemond County, the Nansemond River, and the Seaboard Station. Within Suffolk’s beer scene, it functions as a downtown taproom where the setting is part of the visit, not just a backdrop. Guests can also see the brewing process through an interior window, which adds a working-brewery element to the experience without requiring a formal tour.

Travelers exploring breweries in this part of Virginia often look for places that connect local history, casual gathering space, and beers that are not simply interchangeable from one stop to the next. Nansemond Brewing Station fits that type of visit through both its reused historic building and its production focus on distinctive beers made with varied hops and grains. The available lineup may change, so the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours rather than relying on assumptions about specific styles. For visitors who like to compare how breweries express local identity, the reference to Nansemond’s geography and past gives the stop a clear sense of place.

For practical planning, the brewery offers more than the main bar area. There is a dedicated private party and meeting space, which may be useful for groups, and an outdoor beer garden and seating area for visitors who prefer to sit outside when conditions allow. Nansemond Brewing Station also hosts regular community events, including a run club, so the atmosphere can vary depending on the day and time. Visitors interested in a quieter tasting, a group meetup, or an event-based visit should check directly with the taproom for current hours, event timing, and what is pouring. Its downtown setting and mix of indoor, outdoor, and event space make it a flexible stop for people spending time in Suffolk.
