What an amazing place.. and a personable host.We stopped by to stay the night here as he is in the Harvest Host program.We didn't expect that his brewery would be in his two car garage but it gave it character (and that's how almost every big well known brewer starts).An amazing host, he played the piano and sang songs while we sipped beers in the yard.He made rounds to every table talking to everyone that came by for a few beers.Thank you for a great experience!

Good beer and good time. One of the best Hosts

Best nano brew around, period. Jim knows beer and how to brew it best! Clean, remarkably delicious brews, true to style or original. They are all good and unique.

This is what I call home style. As others have noted, this brewery is out of a garage, it's a nice garage in a nice neighborhood. The brews are down home goodness, the natives are friendly, and the setting is comfortable. The hours are limited to Thursday and Saturday which makes this spot even more in demand. It's worth a visit.

Great beer and glad to see welcoming owners! I will be back and bring my beer drinking friends!

This is a weird experience. I really want to like this place, but it's just a bit too weird. This "brewery" is literally in a guy's garage.....as in a part of his house. Driving up we thought the GPS gave us bad directions "nah, there can't possibly be a brewery in this residential neighborhood"...nope, there is. It just felt weird, like I was crashing some dude's garage keg party or something. Now that I know it's a dude's house, it explains the odd "open one day a week" hours. While the location is weird as hell, the beers really steal the show. This guy may not be down with customer experience, but great goongomoongo can he brew a mean beer! If you can get past the whole garage thing and you get lucky enough to catch him open, definitely worth a stop.
P.S.
Found this fun brewery via Google. Got two beers to go and they were great! Casual transaction from the owner and definitely excited for them to open post COVID.

Very cool spot to grab a beer. Would be amazing on a great sunny NW summer day. I wish they had some hazy beers
We're staying in a Airbnb down from the brewery so took ourselves to a great afternoon with owners and patrons. We huskies we're out numbered. Games on good college and sports Stuff. Beer is good I like the lighter Pilsner husband had IPA Great experience to have cold beer bundled up in the garage with dogs and neighbors stopping in.

This place has been on my radar for a long time, but it took me forever to make it out here. I guess it's been open since 2010, but I am happy I finally made it and definitely wish this guy was my neighbor. I knew it was small and run out of someone's residence, but I was pleasantly surprised once I took the time to actually look at the pictures and view the set up online. I've managed to make it to most of the breweries in the area, but this one does have limited hours and is located in a residential area which made checking it out require a bit of effort. I was surprised to find this place had plenty of parking, an indoor and an outdoor area with plenty of seats, a porta potty on site and a very friendly brewer behind the bar. It was the Cease and desist skittles beer that finally got me in the door, and although some people said it didn't taste very skittley it is still my definition of a fun beer. On my particular visit I was lucky enough to try 4 varieties of this, although now I can not remember which one was my favorite. In case you don't share my love of unusual beer do be aware that there are many other taps and things available. They sell beer to go and do take cards.

Worth the trip. Makes me want to move into the neighborhood so I can walk there and back every day. Always a great crowd. Great beers, great owners, great atmosphere. The place to be to watch an Oregon State game.
