Okay, four stars isn’t really fair because the beer was amazing. Great brewery, great music but no fries?!!! If you have food at your brewery always have and never run out of fries. If you’re looking for good beer this is the place, if you need fries with that beer they don’t have them. At least not the day I was there. Sorry dudes, step up the French fry game. You should actually get rid of everything on the menu and focus on French fries.

I live 45 minutes away but whenever I'm in the area I make sure to stop by. The variety of beers and seltzers is impressive and always rotating. If you're in the area make sure you add this as a stop.

Wow ... Great staff ... Hanna and Katie were ON IT!!! Never experienced and empty glass or lack of entertainment. There is food on site and I personally had a Chili Dog with Serrano peppers, onions and garlic aioli. Yumminy

The beer and burger was good, however the beer garden is closed and the kitchen isn't functioning. So NO FRIES and very limited menu. I saw no mention of construction or anything on their website before coming here. THAT would have been good to know so I could get my food elsewhere. I would give it another shot when their place is at 100%, but wouldn't know when that is ...

Service and atmosphere exceeded expectations

Beer is delicious from what my husband shared, so that’s the most important thing. Minus stars for me because they didn’t have anything for non beer drinkers AND couldn’t accommodate a burger without a bun. So, as I’m gluten free (not by choice, believe me), I ordered the Caesar salad with chicken after the waitress mentioned that their fry basket was used for chicken fingers etc…….and wait for it…...it came with fried chicken which was not in the description. Basically if you’re gluten free, there is absolutely nothing for you here. And the waitress didn’t even seem to care.

Food is good. Service sucks half the time to get your order wrong and they have a mad attitude would not recommend.

Good beer, good hamburgers and chill environment. Recommend as a starter bar, mostly outside seating but not much to look at since located in a business district.

This place never misses. Good vibes, excellent beer, and great food. Staff is always friendly, just don't be an asshole.

I had this brewery on my radar for quite some time. I finally got a friend to join me going there. They have a great tap list and the staff were super friendly! My friend ordered some truffle fries and a burger so I know the food is good for sure! The beers were tasty. The ambience was this rock n roll and punk vibe. I liked it! Check them out and support local craft beer!

Smash burgers are bomb. The beer is beyond delicious, the diversity of beers and people is incredible and the staff is the absolute best. I'm also biased because I work here. Xo come see us (shameless plug). We love music, people, beer and delicious food. Fridays are the best night but don't tell anyone. We sincerely appreciate each and everyone of you. Thank you for making the brewery a great place to call home. We truly care about quality and making people happy. -cheers

Very rude woman working here. There's hardly any parking. Due to construction there's no parking on the street. We pulled in and parked facing another car lining the railing. As we got out, this dark haired lady runs out of the business, and we were yelled at in front of everybody outside, to move our car. She said we can park in the construction zone (no, you cannot. I advise not telling your customers that.). And yet, the other car lining the railing was able to stay parked there- even when their car blocked another parked car on the fence line. There are NO signs saying you can't park there. You should get some if you so strongly don't allow parked cars outside your business.The group I came with decided not to do business here as that isn't the atmosphere we were looking for. I suggest keeping her away from a customer service forward role. That was not the best course of action. Good luck to your business.
