"Always nice to come by-on top of excellent Czech and other style brews, the staff is always friendly, the overall one is open and calm. Great place to meet up with friends for business or socializing. Food in the courtyard area offers some nice variety too."

"Not only is Notch beer delicious and dedicated to putting out European styles you can’t get anywhere else, but their vibe is unmatched. They are dedicated to our community and hosting amazing events. Notch is a true value add to the Brighton community. Can’t recommend enough."

"If you've ever wanted to taste German and Czech beers and never had the chance to travel overseas, or if you've been and are looking for a trip down memory lane, Notch is the place to go. I've been fortunate enough to spend plenty of time in both countries, and this is the best there is to represent them. Realistically, the most impressive thing about Notch is the ethos, which holds a reverence for these styles and their brewing methods without being insufferable about it (you may know people like this). The focus is the beer and community--there are no televisions, bar seats, or Sysco chicken wings. Sit across from your friends, family, and even dogs, and enjoy a quality product."

"I stopped by Notch Brewing Brighton just for the beer, and I’m glad I did. I tried The Standard, Dunkel, Salem Lager, and a few others — each one showed off a different side of their lager game. The Standard was crisp and classic, the Dunkel had a nice malty depth without feeling heavy, and the Salem was super clean with a dry finish that I really liked. What stood out to me was the consistency. Every pour was clean, balanced, and precise — which isn’t easy with lagers. There’s no room to mask imperfections, and Notch nails it across the board. The space itself is laid-back with a casual crowd, perfect for focusing on the beer. As someone who works around flavors a lot, I really appreciate when simple things are done this well. I’ll definitely come back — next time I’ll take my time and go through the full lineup properly."

"We love this brewery! We’re not fans of IPA’s and Notch has our ideal beer menu. The Speedway is also a nice place to hang out with friends."
