    I have only visited twice so far, so I still have a lot of beer exploring to do, but I loved the Belgian Paradise I had today. Crisp and refreshing, great after a bike ride. Coriander & ginger. Mmmm.

    Good variety of beer types from 515 and guest beers. Personally I like the IPad. The OJ IPA is great.

    Awesome beer. Castaway coconut porter is like a Mounds bar in beer form. Wired Hefer coffee milk stout is another personal favorite.

    The pumpkin beer is great!! However, the place is too bright to really relax. A dimmer switch might be helpful. Their beer is very good but it is overshadowed by the uncomfortable atmosphere.

    Great beer and atmosphere. Not sure what to get? Try a flight and enjoy the fact that they have put Bud Light in it's place.

    Award wining beer, right on the bike trail. What’s not to like?

    Belgian Mistress, Hopititis C, and Dubble B are some of the best beers I've ever had.

    The "Undead Red" was fantastic! But everything I tried was very well crafted.

    Bumper pool is 20¢ but the rules are vague. Study the rules before you come.

    If you like IPAs, the Dart Dodger is pretty good.

    Typically they don't have food here, but they have menus and phone numbers for places that deliver.

    Too bright in here. Turn the lights down and it'd be a little more comfortable. Possibly some music too...? Beer is good, but just kind of an awkward setting.
