Big Boss Brewing Company
Founded in 2006, Big Boss Brewing is Raleigh’s oldest craft brewery. We pride ourselves on producing fresh and innovative ales and lagers in a welcoming environment for all walks of life. Our warehouse-vibed taproom offers a wide array of beer styles to accommodate all thirsty guests.
Visit our brewery and sit next to the fermentation tanks and brewhouse while we brew up the next batch of Trail Guide or perhaps a new taproom exclusive. We offer a variety of games to keep our patrons entertained including darts, ping pong, and cornhole.
