Wonderful business with a small-town feel. The only people you deal with are the owners. They are both friendly, inviting, and incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their products and business. Highly recommend!

Food is just hot dogs and pizza, though the Chicago dog was quite good, and this being a brewhouse, you're not there for the food, anyway! The in-house Brown Sugar Imperial Stout was quite good, and A Bushel of Apples, though not brewed in-house, was amazing. Had a fairly lengthy conversation with Mike, owner and brewmaster, and it was interesting and fun. Atmosphere would be five stars if there'd been a livelier crowd, but we were in pretty early. Pretty sure I'll be returning at some point!

Update: Mike challenged my sister, who DESPISES beer, to try a particular brew. He GUARANTEED he could find one she'd like--AND HE WAS RIGHT!! (It's a passionfruit/mango/peach blend, and she actually liked it!)

This is a great place! Looks modern and upscale while feeling personal and like a hometown spot. The owners clearly care deeply for their customers and have a passion for service! I had a loaded hotdog and it was delicious!

Stopped in for a late lunch. I finally got up the nerve to try the Nashville Dog, after having a beer. Jesse fixed the hot dog and had it to me in a short time. I've always loved spicy, hot food so I was looking forward to trying this concoction. I cut off a small amount with bread and hot dog and took a bite. I was expecting some heat, but there wasn't any. I cut off another bite, this time with some sauce and apparently the devil dust. Shortly after I ate it, my mouth was on fire. This was the hottest thing I had every tasted! Beer, of course, didn't help, so I got up to go over to the popcorn machine. Jesse then told me that they hadn't gotten any popcorn in, so no relief there. I finally asked him for a bun so that I could get some relief, which he was nice enough to give me. The pain subsided after a couple of minutes. Needless to say, I didn't finish the dog and took the rest of it home. I will definitely be taking much smaller bites in hope of finishing it. If you are going to try it, I highly recommend taking some bread or crackers with you to make sure you are covered for the pain.
