Edit: Collateral is back in stock. Yes it took a while and the quit saying it would be in next week. They also fixed their special on Tuesday to another drink. Thank you NOFO for the fix.
I stopped by hoping to finally get a glass of Collateral, but unfortunately, it’s still out. It’s been unavailable since the end of June. I saw a previous review mention the same issue, and the owners responded that the wall was fully stocked on Sunday (8/3/2025). I came in on Tuesday when they opened back up for the week, hoping that meant Collateral would be back—but no luck. Quite the letdown for a $6 pint I’ve been looking forward to! Come on NOFO Cleveland do better.

Edited Message (8/5/25): I’m still holding off on a 5-star review until our favorite drink is actually back in stock. I just stopped by today (8/5/25 picture taken of the wall and posted with edit), and despite the comment claiming the beer wall has been restocked, our go-to drink is still unavailable. We’re locals and visit often—this has been ongoing for a while now.
The service here is top-notch—honestly, the staff deserves a gold medal for patience and charm. But… we’ve been on a quest (think Indiana Jones, but thirstier) for a glass of Collateral since July 4th. Every time we ask, we get the magical phrase: “Next week!” At this point, “next week” feels like a mythical land we’ll never reach.
Collateral has become our white whale. We just want one glass. Just one. Is that too much to ask?
On the bright side, this place would be the perfect spot for a brewery—great vibe, awesome team, and clearly a crowd ready to drink… if only the drinks would show up!

Super nice staff awesome facility. Our dog even had a great time. And the beer was awesome. It was a great spot to stop after a full day of hiking. There was plenty of room inside to sit. And it was nice and cool outside Where our Dog was able to relax in the beautiful Green lawn.

We stopped by at this brewery to try some local drafts. The place has its own chilled vibe. They have nice seating area inside and outside. There is a food truck everyday on their property for snacking with drinks. They also play musical bingo and other games on certain days. The chart for food trucks for each day and games to be played are displayed at the entry. We tried no. 10 and 18 from the brewery section. No. 18 was better than no. 10 but nothing exceptional. Overall it’s okay Cons- They have limited seating inside which was bit inconvenient cuz it was too hot outside and there was no space to sit inside. We waited for tables but no luck and at the end we sat outdoors

We visited this location with a group of girls (10 to be exact) for my bachelorette. There’s so much space inside and outside. The sunset here is amazing. The beers were great. We had girls that didn’t drink beer and got seltzers so that was convenient.

So good!! Delicious and refreshing beers (especially after hiking, fishing, paddling, etc.). Super cool environment with the absolutely best views around. And tasty food truck(s) compliment these brilliant brews. Well done NoFo!!

Food truck was amazing. Beers are good- mostly pilsners, lagers, and NEIPAs; was sad that there were no stouts when we visited. Staff was very friendly. Wished we had a venue like this in Florida where we are from!

The place is nice and they have motorcycle parking. The beers were good and the food from the outside vendor was tasty, but a bit pricey. They get a 3/4 Dang.

Great beer! While on a weekend trip to Helen we found this gem close by a hike we had planned. I had a flight of some of their IPAs and a pint of my favorite. My wife really enjoyed the margarita flavored seltzer. We definitely plan on coming back on our next rip to the area!

Snow Ghost and My Porter Boy are not to be missed! Other great offerings as well. Very friendly servers, awesome surrounding views.
What a fun and relaxing place with peaceful beautiful views!!

Love NOFO and everything about it.

Beer with actual flavor, is a refreshing thing. Just stumbled upon this brewery while driving. The facility and surrounding property is probably perfect for events.

Wonderful place to relax after hiking yonah mountain. There happened to be a good truck there today so food and beer! Win win. Great indoor space. Outdoor space offers lots of place to gather and sit and enjoy the scenery.
