Loved this brewery. Spent a weekend brewery hopping and this was my favorite selection by far. Great conversation with attentive bartenders. I wish i didnt live 2 hours away, they seemed to have great events I would love to attend. Already planning my return visit!

Slushes are amazingly good, and the food will also not disappoint. Highly recommend the fries with beer cheese and cider bbq wings!

Multiple local beers on tap. The best part was their food. I think I went there on taco night and had the vegetarian option. I was amazed on how good it was. I ordered 4 more. Certain nights they do karaoke which is always entertaining.

The beer is really good. It's refreshing not seeing a beer list with nothing but IPAs. They have some fantastic lagers and stouts among others. Food was on point and the gentleman name Lance I believe took care of me. Very welcoming and good looking...Read More

Excellent beer, great service, great atmosphere. Not for your traditional beer drinker as they create a lot of high ABV brews with unique and sometimes odd flavor combinations. Two of my favorites are the Astounding She-Monster Mango IPA …

Crazy beer flavors that work! This place takes "seasonals" to a whole new level! They have tons of award winning beer! It can get a bit crowded so you might want to go early. Also, check out the "Monster Sticks" which are oversized mozzarella sticks...Read More
