Fantastic experience in this tucked away gem. Incredibly knowledgeable owner that brews some very distinct and well balanced beers of many varieties. This spacious taproom has a fantastic environment for all types by keeping it casual and relaxing. Would definitely frequent this brewery if I was a local.

I have never felt more uncomfortable or unsafe in an establishment. It is located in a dim remote warehouse. The bartender was strange. I was not even comfortable enough to order anything or even sit on the dirty furniture. I would not recommend anyone go here for any reason.

We stopped in based on proximity to 495 on our trip back from Hampton NH. Should have chosen other venuesVery disappointed. The web page had more beers on tap and available than we experienced.Cheetah was non descript. Rowdy’s Amber was decent. Overall our group didn’t enjoy theirs as much as other stops.The background music was melancholy new age. Fortunately I do not suffer from depression or it would have been enhanced.The location is under construction and pales in comparison to the other factory/warehouse breweries we have been at, others are doing it better.The best part was the cat, it was friendly and playful.

Taproom here is a hidden gem. Love that they are dog friendly. The bar staff is always great and Kasi the brewery kitty is a fun addition. The PB Porter and Vanilla Coconut Cream Ale are my favorites.

Great selection of beer. Amazing staff. Love Thursday Trivia. A hidden gem in South Lowell! Support local…you’ll be happy you did!

Festbier is the winner. Could drink that all day. Dank-ish ambience is a throw back to when breweries opened tap rooms that didn't pretend to be family restaurants. A true beer lover's destination.

Excellent beer and live music!

Great place, very industrial. Trying the Coffee Stout first and I do like the flavor. Good balance between roast and bitter and it let's the coffee through. When you come here don't be discouraged trying to find it. Go all the way down Bolt and look for the small sign at the gate to get in. Then head back to the corner and go up the stairs. There is a picture attached showing the small sign. Use Google Street view also to find your way. Very warm in here right now. Reminds of the old Three Nations brewery in Flowery Branch Texas. Yes I am here from Texas visiting.

Had the Blonde, and it was very good. The server was super-nice. I would love to see the space cleaned up and made more inviting.

The new shipping service is fantastic! After a minor hiccup with a beer being out of stock (they refunded me, although it wasn't necessary), they delivered my order. Excellent service and beer! Thank you for your beer and for delivering it during these difficult times. I intend to order again!

The selection of beers has dwindled to only a few that currently doesn't include any IPAs. I love the place and enjoyed the music Saturday night. The chowder from the food truck was Really Good....need more beer options.
