Great place for drinks, a delicious food truck, and weekly themed trivia!

I’m all for the family friendly atmosphere, and if you have a function room, by all means go ahead, but shutting down a BREWERY for a child’s birthday party is not what I would expect. It’s tough for those who just want to spend their Saturday drinking some craft beer and the atmosphere that goes along with it.
The entire outside space was empty. I would have happily grabbed a beer and sat outside and enjoyed it, but shutting down entirely is another story. Was looking forward to checking out a new local spot, but unfortunately wasn’t able to.

Love this place within walking distance of our house. Great rotating, extensive selection of beers. Some always on the menu too. Now also carrying a few wines from a regional winery that are great. The hard seltzer made to order is nice as well. They brew the base there on site with several different flavors. Food trucks have been great too. Outdoor and indoor seating. Staff is very nice and ready to serve. A great neighborhood get together! Not understanding some of the negative reviews in my opinion. You can take your dog there if you sit outside. If you don't like dogs, you can sit inside. Beers are made on site, and really well. Probably a dozen on tap and all different styles. Never had any delays or issues with the staff, all very nice people.

You certainly may. We recently moved to Upton and have been looking forward to trying this place. A brewery in walking distance! To say it was a letdown is a vast understatement. I want to give small businesses the benefit of the doubt, but our experience was so overwhelmingly negative that I feel compelled to warn others.
Even though it wasn't particularly busy, we waited an excruciatingly long time to be acknowledged by our bartender (who was already quite visibly intoxicated), and who seemed more interested in chatting up her regulars at the opposite end of the bar. So unless you're a familiar face, don't count on quick or friendly service.
Still, we tried quite a few things. The beer menu, while extensive, fell quite short. The flights we ordered left much to be desired... most of the beers were flat and flavorless. The seltzer had a revolting smell. A couple were so dreadful I spit it out immediately. I'm not exagerating, it tasted like vomit. It takes a lot for me to complain, but this was really bad and I very politely brought all this up to our bartender. Her response? "Then don't drink it. No one's forcing you to drink it." And to be fair, she was totally right! Shame on me for expecting halfway friendly service? It may not seem like much, but we felt pretty disrespected and humiliated.
Initially inviting, the atmosphere soured more and more as we started to notice how sticky the floors were, how dirty the glassware was, the mold growing on the taps, the flies flying into our drinks, and the disgusting bathrooms.
I don't mean to be rude or difficult, I am just relaying my personal experience. I truly do not understand all the positive reviews. While the potential for improvement exists, our visit was a stark reminder of their current shortcomings. Please try to do better!
Edit: add to that list of shortcomings: their passive-aggressive response to my review.

Funky-chic brewpub houses in a converted auto repair shop with good homemade beers and wines. Large selection of books and games for people who just want to chill.

Not good.

Great place to go if you like dogs and good beer.

If you like dogs and a wide selection of lackluster beer, this place is for you.
Look for the 40k night in March. Feb's 40k night was great!

Pretty cool place. Very good selection of brews, lots of variety. Came out early on a quiet Friday night, still pretty busy. I had the Captain Hook, Winter's Welcome, Leann Rue, and the Lumberjack. All four were delicious, the Lumberjack stood out, very unique flavor. Nice ambiance, a little on the loud side but not overwhelming. Will definitely be back.
