Brewpubs in Hays

“I've been to Defiance three times now and have zero complaints. The staff is friendly, the environment is perfectly mellow, the music is what I listen to at home, and both the food and beer are amazing. I've tried different meals all three visits and they're all great, but I can't get myself to order any other appetizer except for the cheese curds with the garlic sauce. Those babies are heavenly! As for the beer, I'm not a beer drinker, but Defiance's craft beer sets a different standard. I've tried the oatmeal stout, the brown ale, and the amber ale with all three being amazing enough that a non-beer drinker is highly impressed. (Apologies for not remembering the fun names.) Thank you for existing. You feel like a home away from home.“

“a great local place for dinner and local brewed beer. I tried their amber ale which was very tasty. For dinner I had the half grilled chicken salad and agave glazed carrots, carrots were outstanding. It was too much food for a dinner meal, I'm glad I didn't get the full salad portion. My wife had the brewben, (reuben) sandwich with garlic fries, the sandwich was ok and the garlic fries were great! The restaurant is set in 2 old downtown shops, a wall was knocked out for the seating area. They have a wide selection of food and beers, stop here for a tasty meal that won't leave you hungry as you continue your journey!“
