COME VISIT.

We brew every week, usually a beer we’ve never made before to keep things fun and fresh. We’re colorful, kid friendly, and love to share behind the scenes of how we brew. Visiting us is like visiting your grandma’s greenhouse on a warm Spring day.

We’re located in the West End of Downtown Roanoke. With Big Lick Brewing across the street this is the apex of a beer neighborhood in SWVA.

Everyone…say hello to Rick Rita! A sour beer with salt, key lime purée, and orange zest. Should be a good heat killer. It’ll be ready in two to three days 🌵

Some people might label what we’re about to say

Some people might label what we’re about to say as a political statement. We don’t think it is, because we don’t think it’s political to treat every single human with kindness and decency (unless they’re a real jerk of course).

During pride month (and every month) we want everyone to know GCB is a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all. Happy #pridemonth 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Well everyone, the time has come. We have decided

Well everyone, the time has come. We have decided to make it optional for our staff to wear a mask if they’re vaccinated. Of course we will strive to make anyone comfortable who isn’t. If you’d like to make an order at the bar, and you would like us to be masked, just let us know and we’ll throw one on. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank every single one of our customers who were understanding and wore masks when we needed them to. Thank you so much everyone. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of covid running our decisions and stifling our fun. Cheers from everyone at Golden Cactus Brewing!

Masks....they’re a tricky conversation to have r

Masks....they’re a tricky conversation to have right now, but here’s a nice plant picture to help ease the discomfort. We are still asking that our customers wear masks but will no longer require that they do so in order to receive a beer. The only reason I’m asking our customers to continue wearing them is for the safety of our staff and their families (some of whom still have been medically unable to receive a vaccine yet and/or are immunocompromised). This obviously won’t be forever. Numbers of vaccinated people are rising and soon hopefully we’ll be able to go completely maskless. Thank you all very much for bearing with us through the transition period!
