Absolutely fantastic. The beer was good, the bartender was so nice. Finding a place that's pet friendly indoors when it's 35 degrees outside was a lifesaver and the vibes were immaculate. They even gave us a water bowl for our dog. The live music was wonderful and not overwhelming. They let you bring in outside food which is great with so many restaurant options within walking distance. A great way to end the night.
We were in the area for a getaway. Happy we ran across this brewery. Nice vibe, good selection of beers, and the gent behind the bar was both knowledgeable and friendly willing to help us select our choice. Sadly a gentleman at the bar wanted to discuss politics at the top of his lungs, and really was a bit of a damper on the good experience. No fault of the brewery to be clear, just a challenge when you just want to sit down, celebrate some great beers and watch the world...
I have been going here for years. I prefer the Porter or Stout. They only had the Stout on draft. They had the Porter in cans. So I went with the draft. It was a Thursday night so there was an impromptu gathering of local acoustic musicians. The people are friendly and everyone was interacting to the music and to each other. Felt like a regular. They have a good Hefeweizen and while I don’t go for IPAs, they have a selection. Naturally, I can’t wait to go again.
