Came at happy hours on Thursday with friends, good place to hand out, not very busy, enough parking at front. Beers are good but have fewer selections. Didn't like Mojito, Snacks are just fine.

This is a bit of a mixed bag. The beer was okay, the food was decent, but we got really terrible wings. The service is super slow and the wait staff unreliable.

We were pleasantly surprised with the food choices and the beer selection. The beer I wanted to try was not on tap but all other beers met our expectations. The falafel plate was great, as well as all the burgers we ordered. Fries, potato salad, and side salad were fresh. The place was not crowded on Friday night after sunset when all the golfers were gone, I guess. Google maps routed us through some back alley but we found the main road on the way out. Plenty of parking and looks like a very secure neighborhood.

Great views, great food and excellent craft beer! Worth the short jaunt up the hill! A real treat!

We came in with a party of 25 people and was unfortunately greeted by Amanda (restaurant manager). She was ticked off that we didn't call ahead of time and let us know that we are supposed to call in prior. Kassandra was a sweetheart though. Food not too bad either. But bad manager.

Came by twice after a round of golf. And after a long 4+ hour round, I'm usually pretty famished and looking for some substantial grub. This place though kinda strange, met my needs both times. Newish golf course, not one of those that has been around for generations. And the eatery that chose the space to service the course and it's community also happens to be a brewery. Ain't mad at that scenario one bit.Don't know much about the history of this brewery or their mission in general, but in the 2 brews I've had here, both were really good. I tried 2 of their hoppier styles, one being an IPL which is a hoppier lager, which you don't run into often. Most are IPA's which indicates they are 'ales' which are more the norm. This IPL was good enough to revisit. And both times we came, we hit their happy hours or as they like to put it their 'hoppy hours'. And in those hours, some of their beers are knocked down to $4-$5, which is an incredible bargain these days, as normal craft beer prices are approaching the $10 mark, which I find a bit disturbing. Now this place is strange to me because it doesn't really have that traditional watering hole vibe, where regulars can sit and just become a fixture. Actually I didn't really see a conventional bar area, where peeps are sitting on stools. Almost everyone there was sitting at a table. Nothing wrong with that per say, just far from the norm for a brewery/pub.7 Layer Dip ($7/3*) I usually like these as it is a fresher version of a nacho imo. It is usually some bean dip, whether warm or room temp then topped with typical southwest-y things like guacamole, salsa, olives etc....I actually like to make it myself during game days when people want to come over, as you just make it once and people just keep coming back to it. This version was just ok to me. The good is they use a warm bean dip as the base. Think they may even do a few bean dips as I saw a basic mashed pinto version and a dallop of a blackbean version. This was topped with a little guac, some shredded cheese, maybe some sour cream. But what I felt like was missing was some salsa or some chopped green onions or something fresh to make the dish pop more. It wasn't a very balanced 7 layer dip imo. It also came with super thin corn chips. And it wasn't even enough chips for 2 people to share and eat most of the dip. So we asked for more chips, but later found out that it was an extra $3 bucks. Wasn't so peeved for the extra charge, but more peeved cuz they didn't give enough to begin with, so the extra order is almost built into the system. Worm Burner Burger ($16/4.5*) Name of the burger is a golfing term btw. It is when one doesn't strike the ball well and the ball goes screaming down super low, like close to the ground versus way up in the air. Anyhoo, this burger is crazy legit. Think patty melt but with a kick due to fried jalapenos. Seriously juicy and greasy in a good way cuz between the cheese, well cooked patty, bacon and super crisp buttery sourdough toast, just made for epic bites with a hoppy brew. Definitely revisit worthy.Blackened Ahi Tuna ($26/4*) Properly rare blackened tuna, very seasoned on the exterior, while basically raw in the center. (I ordered it rare, you can get it cooked how ever you prefer.) The tuna wasn't the greatest grade, probably even frozen, cuz I can tell by the texture and color. But the bites were indeed meaty and clean, so I devoured it no prob. Chose jasmine rice and sauteed spinach as sides and they were great with the highly seasoned fish steaks. Came also with a romanesco sauce which I believe is a Mediterranean sauce that has pureed nuts and tomato I believe. It was decent but not something I would crave. Next time I may just request it off.So even though a strange place to lounge in for a post round drink/eats, the food is decent enough and the prices are better than most other options out this way. So that makes this a winner in my book.

This place is great, for one I can walk to and from. The food and beer is great as well...however the outdoor patio need a little help. Maybe guys (lots of golfers) don't mind aesthetics? My girlfriends and I on the other hand can't help but notice everything!!! Please for the love of god take down that tent contraption you have up!!!! It's awful and so loud when the wind rips through it. I will continue to visit and enjoy your food and beer...and always will pick apart the outside ;) Open up the Tap room for these winter months coming :) thank

Came here for a late lunch after a round of golf. Had a burger and their signature beer the Green Jacket IPA. Delicious burger cooked just right and the IPA hoppy and strong, perfect with the burger. The young server was on point too.

after a round of golf it was refreshing to sit on the deck with a cold beer a sandwich and some french fries to laugh and discuss our past and future golf rounds with friends.

Great food, good beer, service, and view. I can't say sufficiently how awesome this place is.

After a nice round of golf we headed to go grab a bite to eat and watch the first half of the game. We order some wings which were great they even had some fresh garlic on them which I always love and then order a salad and cheeseburger to share with the husband. A couple of beers for sure since we are at a brewery. Everything was delicious no complaints. The service was good and the ambiance was nice and chill with the game on some old golf memorabilia on the wall. Overall great experience

This is my Happy Place ! Seriously, this is such a place full of Fun and Happy employees. Since Covin 19, it is hard to find a place where people that work their, still like coming to work. Every time that I gone to The Brewery, I have had a great time, and not just the staff. I have met some of the guest as well, and they seem to be happy too! MMMM, what could it be, that makes a place want it's workers to work and it's guest stay happy - Must be GREAT LEADERSHIP !! If you have met this manager, then you would know that it is all about the TEAM ! I just love the environment here, and I will continue to come and enjoy the Food, the Service and the people ! Great Job TEAM Brewery!!

Haven't been here since pre Covid and before it was good but nothing overwhelming about it. However coming back today and it was delicious. I had the mixed berry chicken sandwich and it was amazing the mix of flavors worked so well together. The slight sweetness of the berry compote with the saltiness if of bacon along with the fresh basil and perfectly grilled chicken was fantastic, I usually go salad for my side but I got fries and I'm so glad I did. Twice fried not greasy and perfectly crispy. My husband got the chili cheese dog and really enjoyed it he said it could have had more chili and the cheese melted but the hot dog was itself was really good. I love the beer specials with the $3 10oz which allows to try a few different beers. We will be adding this place into a regular rotation for lunch and dinner.
