Usually, you go to a brewery for great beer & good food to complement, if they even have that. This place has great beer & INCREDIBLE food! The duck confit special was so deliciously fatty & the sauce it came in was excellently prepared. Absolutely a stop to make if in downtown Columbia!

Fun. Not my jam of a menu on the whole. The taco type dip was fantastic. Lots of beer choices.

Cool brewery atmosphere with great beer (and wine and cocktails for those others). Food is very good especially for a brewery.

When looking at the reviews before posting mine I saw one particularly negative review about a sever that absolutely confused me! I hope it was not about our dear server Maya. She was the sweetest server and seemed VERY on top of things. What a kind girl. The food was excellent and the service was STELLAR! Will be returning again, the brisket was to die for.

We were told about this brewery while speaking to a local. We decided to check the place out and was extremely pleased. The brewery is in a historic airplane hanger. The build is beautiful and has a great ambiance. The service was friendly and great. The beers and food were delicious. I tried a porter that was aged in bourbon cast. I normally don't care for porters; however, this one was great. I will definitely return.

Waitress looked overwhelmed the whole time. She finally gave us utensils after we had to eat the appetizers with our hands, when she finally acknowledged us when we asked for them. Idk if they’re short staffed like most places but she had one speed and it wasn't fast. We could see her taking her time sipping her drink in the waitress station multiple times. NY Strip overcooked. My lamb shank was a special and was just a hunk of meat on a plate with a couple mushrooms, about a tablespoon of turnip purée and a gravy that had an overwhelming spice that was unsavory. The shank had no sides other than what was described above. For the price you’d think it’d come with a potato or salad. And I’ve NEVER been to a restaurant that serves lamb, of any kind, without mint jelly. I asked the server if they had mint jelly she replied “I don’t think so”. Is that a yes or no?? So I had to ask her to check in the kitchen. No mint jelly for my lamb. Sausage rolls had too much breading and were dry. The cheese appetizer and the hamburger, another member of our group ordered, was the only good food. Muscles were okay, sauce good, but the portion was small considering that the plate was just about 10 muscles and 2 slices of bread. The 2 in our group who ordered it left hungry. The atmosphere was very nice. I’ll try there again because I’ve heard really good things about it but our first visit was poor.Parking: Poor parking availability.

Food was great and the place is neat. dim lighting and cool for beer lovers. It is first come to a table so it is a little awkward waiting for one because you are just standing toward the dining area.

Consistent, unique, good, fresh food with innovative specials, friendly wait staff in a repurposed, old building. We love it!

Great food and specials! This time we got a hummus plate with pita bread, along with a couple beers and a hotty toddy! Always a creative menu and it’s tucked away in Downtown

Stopped in here on a whim while in Columbia for a convention. The hazy IPA was great, and the food was awesome! Limited menu but it seems they really put effort into their food selection. I will definitely have to stop in next time I’m in town!
