No matter what your taste, they have a beer for it! They have bands inside as well as outside. When the warm weather is in town, the outside experience is the best! They have outdoor games, food trucks and soon opening their own kitchen. Friendly, fast service even when the beer line is literally out the door.

This place was way more than I anticipated, went last Saturday evening and it was my first time there. The atmosphere was great, the music was even better . We had a great time here , the crowd was very engaging as well . A great mix of ages too which I enjoyed, we also enjoyed the beer and tacos . Will definitely return here especially if that same band is playing since they were awesome.

I’m 24 years old and bought tickets for our local band we support with my parents and whole extended family. They denied me entry and I am 24 with both of my parents. Extremely rude front desk guy, and disappointing they had to spoil a nice family outing that are so limited these days. No sympathy or understanding from the front desk guy. I’m sure owner would’ve been more fair but was denied permission to even speak to him. Also had to Uber home 30 minutes which stinked. Certainly worst experience at any establishment in the greater Danbury Area.

A good local spot with good brews and non-beer options! My husband got the Oktoberfest and enjoyed it. High Noon is more my taste and they had very flavor imaginable. Service was very nice and bathrooms were so clean. Parking is easy with their own private lot.

Excellent place

I'm not sure if it's part of the experience, but it was uncomfortably cold inside. The bartender was pleasant and kind thankfully. They didn't have any IPA's on tap as they're going through a tough time by the sounds with the brewer, and the IPA they had in cans, wasn't very good.

We were really disappointed that we were unable to come here with our 2 month old baby who was asleep in his stroller. No kids under 21 allowed and I understand not wanting children running all over the place but babies? I have actually never been to a brewery that did not allow children and they usually allow dogs, too, which this brewery also does not. As new parents who don’t get out much we were bummed to say the least.

The band was good, and the food truck food was great ?, and the beer was great as always.

Great line of taps and canned alcohol. Renovations are looking amazing!

okay to preface, I love this spot. However, they would not allow us to bring our one year old in. I have never heard of a brewery not allowing children, let alone babies. This is very disappointing because I love their beer and the taco truck. it was definitely a disappointment.

Was really excited to try this place. I'm new in town so I don't know anyone. Went in for a beer on Friday night. Was not greeted in a friendly way, but maybe she was having a bad night....ordered a beer anyway...then realized I had no service so I asked for wifi...they do not have wifi. So I drank one sip and left because drinking alone without internet is not my idea of a good time. Also there are like 20 no dog signs....so I definitely doubt I will give this place another shot. Disappointed

Nice brewery with a lot of outdoor seating and a rustic charm on the inside. They have some good selections of beer which were very good. It can be very busy at times and very slow at others. It seems to be very busy when the weather is nice.
