Intermission Beer Company - Arcade & Brewpub (Craft Beer & Brewery in Ashland VA)

Intermission Beer Company – Arcade & Brewpub in Ashland, Virginia is the sort of place that makes you wonder why anyone ever bothered with ordinary pubs. Run by a savvy crew of women, this microbrewery marries top‑tier craft beer with an arcade that could make an eight‑year‑old feel like a high‑roller. Bold IPAs punch you in the palate, tart sours zing like a mischievous sprite, and the refreshing seltzers offer a clean finish for those who prefer their bubbles without bitterness.

The venue doubles as a community hub, hosting live music, trivia nights, and even “stitches‑and‑sips” sessions where craft beer meets DIY fashion (a delightfully odd combination). A Subaru meetup corner and a row of vintage pinball machines add extra layers of charm, while the pizza oven sits on display like a gleaming trophy. Food is nothing‑short‑of‑fresh, with salads and other dishes built from quality ingredients, and the restrooms are kept so spotless you could eat off the tiles. Service is brisk and genuinely friendly, proving that a brewpub can be both entertaining and impeccably polished.

In short, Intermission delivers craft perfection wrapped in arcade nostalgia, turning a simple night out into a memorable adventure.
