“I am not a big beer drinker but craft beer has re-introduced me. EVERY beer I tasted had its purpose, was smooth and tasty. I now have quite a few favorites :). I also enjoyed the 'rustic' atmosphere and look forward to seeing this brewery continue to grow - awesome!“

“The best place and nice people“

“I hosted a surprise birthday party for my husband at Leadfoot last week. The tables were all set up the day before and the owners were very accommodating. We had 50+ people and it was so much fun! I decided on cash bar, but they provided a few options for me to choose from. Everyone had a great time and the service was fantastic. I will definitely use this venue again if I ever have to host another party.“

“I have encountered Fieldcrest's stands at one or two beer festivals before, but this was my first visit to the brewery. It occupies its own building. There's plenty of parking space available. The seating is divided between a singular indoor room and an outside patio. The brewery does not have its own kitchen, but they can prepare several items in their oven and allow you to bring outside food. I tried their pretzel, which came with three different mustard-based sauces, and it was nice. The whole atmosphere of this place is cozy and relaxing. Many regulars visited the place that day. The brewery was also celebrating its 7-year anniversary. The owner, Adam, was on-site, and he turned out to be a very pleasant and knowledgeable person, sharing stories about the brewery and beer styles.

There were 10 taps during my visit: 9 beers and a seltzer. You have an option to order a flight of 4 to try more. For this review, I tried everything offered that day. There wasn't a single beer I disliked. To my surprise, even the staple beer styles you can find anywhere were really solid. My favorites for the day were Falken Pils and Vanilla Brown Ale, both direct hits into their respective styles, both crushable and refreshing.

I enjoyed my visit to this brewery. It is worth a dedicated trip here. I do recommend this place to others.“

“Best place around for beer and a burger“

“Place was packed this sat lunch. Great beer, food and friendly service“

“Great beer! Food trucks are outside but we are inside where it's cooler. We bought some amazing treats outside and ate them inside! Options are wonderful. Thanks!“

“New City Brewery is a fun spot in town with a large selection of beers and a full bar; at the time they had some fun and festive holiday drinks. The bar food menu has variety — we tried the nachos which was good. There are plenty of tables in the back if you want to hang out, and they have a whole section full of games to play. Our bartender was super friendly (didn’t catch her name though :( ); she let us sample a few beers to help us choose and even told us about an upcoming drag show they were hosting, which made the place feel especially welcoming and LGBTQ friendly. Overall, should definitely check this place out!“
