Enjoyed the open patio. Beer list had good variety. Queue line was efficient and the staff was very attentive. I especially liked the wallpaper in the women's bathroom! Will be back to try out the games and for a 'Be Humble' shirt.

We went for the Pup Cup and had an incredible time! Great beer, great people, great location. Definitely enjoyed the maple stout on tap, and actually miss the margarita gose "Sponge Cake" - that would've been perfect on a warm summer day!

Great beer and an expansive space both indoors and outdoors to relax. They also frequent the company of third party entertainment/food trucks. Come by for a good brew!

This is probably my favorite brewery in Rochester. It’s situated in a quiet area along a bike trail, and their beer and beer selection is the best.
