Taps very foamy and measure amount poured WAY too high. Recommend staying away.

Really nice facility. Different beers on each level so had to go up and down for refills. Not sure why anyone would drop their beer card in the box for 20% automatic tip applied when you are pourng your own beers.

Music was too loud. Beer was subpar. I had their west coast IPA and a dunkelweizen. Other than that, atmosphere is nice. Wife thought it felt prefab. My wife loved her cider (from Wild Mind).

What a gem of a brewery! I enjoyed being able to sample several beers. I brought my dog and there was tons of outdoor space in the shade which was nice. The staff was helpful and I got the Village pizza which was awesome. I will definitely return!

With all the various taps, why not include a few sodas for non-alcoholic options and designated drivers? You shouldn't have to order separately via the QR code

Listen, I don’t LOVE self-service bars. I’m old school and love an interaction with the serving staff. Luckily, I had a lovely connection with one of the servers, Alyssa, when my friend and I accidentally misordered two pizzas. Bear Cave always has great food and great drink selections.

Single guy with a dog? Not logistically possible!
Been here a handful of times with no issues, I walk in as usual to check in, grab a card, pour a beer and head to the patio as usual…. Instead a regular patron “YOU CANT HAVE YOUR DOG IN HERE!!” all POed “Kevin” to start with. I pour a couple MEH IPA foamy beers, go to the patio each time, on my way for another beer I get informed I cannot have my dog with to POUR BEER, again, single guy NO ONE WITH ME. Do I ask a random stranger to hold my dog when I want a beer? Never had an issue like this at any other brewery or taproom, I usually get handed a beer and a kind reminder to go outside if not dog friendly, how do I legitimately get a beer here as a single guy with a dog? You simply don’t I guess, don’t even enter the front with a dog without Kevin yelling at you. Meh IPA’s and a brewery more VENUE than a BREWERY, hard pass now.

FYI: Staff was awesome, they didn’t make the facetious logic.
