Ponysaurus Brewing
Ponysaurus Brewing Co. is a forward-thinking, backward-tasting brewery, creating beers that are meant to be savored, appreciated, contemplated, philosophized, studied, nuzzled, and mindfully guzzled. Our brewery, taproom and beer garden is located in the Downtown East neighborhood of Durham and our beers are distributed throughout the state of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
