Our fave spot to take our doggos! Oh, and yeah.....the beer is stellar and holy s$+t the pretzels! The outdoor patio is amazing and the colder it gets, they enclose the patio and turn on the heaters. Five star place to enjoy a drink and some Nummies!

We were #1 today and the food was presented well and was very good. The cooks are great and the beer and cider are as well.

Wish I could give lower than a 1 star rating. Rude to my guests. Awful service. Wished to tab out. Was met with "you're going to have to wait". Sat at the bar for 10 minutes plus without being acknowledged. Skip out on this one. Not worth the stop.

Loved the atmosphere and sitting in the outside deck. The food was okay, but I wouldn’t come back just to have it again. I did enjoy our drinks and would come back for those. Felt the staff could have been friendlier, they weren’t rude but definitely acted annoyed that we were there.

We’ve been to hundreds if not thousands of different brewery’s and love seeing the uniqueness and individuality of each one, but have yet to see one with a dog diving pool… and good beer also

It was fine once you figured out how it worked. They could use a better ordering system. Seems kind of like a free for all when they are busy.

Great small farm style brewery. Beer is consistently great especially the Hazelnut Brown! Food is also good and reasonably priced.

Update 2024: Started getting kegs from here for home consumption. They make it easy to order what you want and pick it up later. I really like supporting them directly like this, no distributer middle man.

Enjoying their off shoot beers, too. The Imperial Russian Stout is amazing. Very hard to find somewhere that makes this, so I am glad they did. Smooth and flavorful. Paired with watching dogs jumping into the water makes for a great time.

Excellent beer at this place. Hard to decide what to get! Of course, a flight is a good place to start, but choosing your next one is difficult. Food menu is fairly limited, but the food itself is delicious. Easy ordering too with filling out a paper and handing it in.

Really enjoy the countryside setting. Makes you feel like you're getting away from hustle for a bit.

Prices are very reasonable and nothing is outrageous.

This place is fairly small, so when it is crowded, it is a little lacking in seating. Covered deck outside is great in nice weather.

Parking is decent, a gravel lot but easy to maneuver.

In growing season, you see hops growing outside which is awesome. They source locally when they can as well.

Service is great, pleasant, easy-going staff eager to help you find the right beer for you. Want a little taste? No problem! They'll help you choose if you're just not sure.

Update August 2023: Still a great place offering a variety of beers. They also make a few ciders now. And they offer cocktails. I like trying the offshoot beers, they are a limited type thing and are fun to taste. Peach Cobbler Sour is amazing. Like having a liquid peach cobbler. I don't like fruit beers but this one is exquisite. Staff is down to earth and friendly. Ambiance is nice and everything is always clean.
