Gypsy Road Brewing Company

Gypsy Road Brewing Company is a family-owned and operated craft brewery at 1105 East Mountain Street in Kernersville, NC — founded in 2017 and now one of the most established local breweries anywhere in the greater Piedmont Triad region. The brewery has earned recognition for its award-winning ales and lagers, plus a substantial covered beer garden that hosts live music, food trucks, and community programming throughout the week.

Gypsy Road’s beer is also distributed to local venues across the Piedmont Triad — most notably to Kernersville’s own Blue Rock Pizza and Tap, where Gypsy Road beer occupies a share of the 36-tap program. That local distribution network gives Gypsy Road a genuine regional identity beyond just its Kernersville taproom — making it one of the more visible NC-born craft breweries in the immediate Winston-Salem area.

Family-Owned Craft Brewery Since 2017

Gypsy Road Brewing Company was founded in 2017 as a family-owned and operated craft brewery, and has maintained that family-operated identity across nearly a decade of continuous operation. That kind of family-ownership continuity is genuinely rare in the modern craft brewery landscape, where many breweries are quickly acquired by larger beverage companies or shut down within their first few years.

The brewery’s beer program focuses on award-winning ales and lagers — with a rotating lineup that includes classic ale and lager styles alongside more experimental options like the fruit-forward Tutti-frutti (a sweet ale with an orange character). Flights are available for visitors who want to sample multiple styles across a single visit — a genuine convenience for craft beer explorers.

Beyond the taproom, Gypsy Road also runs a beer distribution operation — supplying their beer to local venues across the Piedmont Triad. That distribution reach includes Kernersville’s own Blue Rock Pizza and Tap, where Gypsy Road beer regularly appears among the 36-tap lineup — a genuinely wonderful local food and beverage ecosystem cross-connection that gives Gypsy Road beer accessibility beyond just the brewery’s own taproom.

The Covered Beer Garden and Community Programming

Gypsy Road’s most distinctive on-site feature is its covered beer garden — a substantial outdoor space with roof coverage that allows visitors to enjoy the outdoor beer garden atmosphere regardless of the weather. That covered outdoor design genuinely extends the brewery’s usable seasons across the NC Piedmont’s occasionally rainy or unpredictable weather patterns.

The brewery hosts extensive community programming throughout the week, including:

• Live music — regular performances in the covered outdoor space
• Trivia nights
• Music bingo and traditional bingo
• Theme nights
• Weekly food trucks — Gypsy Road doesn’t operate an in-house kitchen but hosts rotating food trucks that give visitors real menu variety across visits

The brewery is also dog-friendly, with the covered outdoor space making it a natural stop for locals bringing their dogs along for a beer garden visit. Combined with the beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverage options, Gypsy Road works equally well for beer enthusiasts, wine drinkers, and designated drivers looking for a genuine community gathering space.

A Kernersville Highlight

Gypsy Road Brewing Company is the kind of stop that stays with you for the depth of a genuine family-owned craft brewery across nearly a decade of continuous operation. With its 2017 founding, award-winning ales and lagers, flight sampling option, and rotating experimental brews like the fruit-forward Tutti-frutti, Gypsy Road offers a substantial beer program that rewards return visits from both craft beer enthusiasts and casual visitors.

The covered beer garden and community programming round out the appeal. Between the roof-covered outdoor space (extending Gypsy Road’s usable seasons across NC’s varying weather), the weekly rotating food trucks, the live music and trivia and bingo nights, and the dog-friendly policy that welcomes locals bringing along their four-legged companions, Gypsy Road works as a genuine community gathering space rather than just a beer-focused destination.

The local food and beverage ecosystem cross-connection rounds out the visit. Gypsy Road’s distribution network — most notably supplying beer to Kernersville’s own Blue Rock Pizza and Tap — gives visitors a genuinely wonderful “brewery visit + downtown pizza with the same beer on tap” walking pattern (or driving pattern, given the railroad tracks in downtown Kernersville). Combined with the same-road proximity to Triad Park at 9652 East Mountain Street, Gypsy Road has become one of the most consistently rewarding local craft brewery destinations anywhere in the greater Winston-Salem / Piedmont Triad region.
