Great atmosphere low key the way i like it

Service is nice and fast

Great selection for a smaller brewery

They have snacks and allow you to bring your own food
which is very cool in my opinion

overall value is great, great atmosphere and great beer
will be back for sure.

Building was awesome. Small, and cozy. Almost felt as a coffee shop. Bar was cool too, their draft tap set up is made from an old whiskey barrel.

Their beer was pretty off when we visited. I know they are just getting started so I am hoping with time they improve. But when we were there it tasted like a home brew kit with a fancy name.

I would stop in again if i was in the area but as of right now it is not worth the drive solely for a visit (IMO).

Of the regular beers, I enjoy the IPA, brown and stout. The Raspberry version of the wit is well done. I am not an amber or wit fan to begin with so I don't have an opinion on those two. There are usually another 1-3 beers rotating on special. The inside of the building is cool, very nice bathrooms and cozy. There are darts and table space to play cards. A couple of TVs to watch the game and they allow you to bring your own food and there are a number of restaurants within 200ft. The beers are getting better than when they first opened and the specialty beers have been a great change of pace. Overall a good place to hang out and the beer is priced right.

This brewery just opened in 2012, and I think they did so before they have their beers dialed in to the taste that I think is correct for the styles offered. My wife, my daughter and I ordered a sampler flight of 4 of their 5 beers, but we added the 5th one too just so we could try them all. They included: an Amber, an IPA, a Wit, a Brown and a Pilsner. Only the Brown was close to tasting where I thought it should be. My wife and daughter liked the Wit, but I didn't (possibly because it's one of my least favorite beer styles). I'll give the Brown a C grade, but the rest I'll put at a C- rating for my tastes.

There is no food other than packaged snacks such a chips, pretzels and Slim Jims. The brewery is located in the downtown area in a cool old building, and the interior is kind of small and cozy and fitting for a brewpub.

I want to give any new brewery an opportunity to get their beers dialed in to the right taste, and I hope they do. I'll go back when I'm in the area again to see if there is any progress.
