    Really good beers served in a cool space. The Strong Ale was hands down my favorite, & a style not seen very often. Some unique brews too, not just run-of-the-mill IPA's and such.

    Neat beer garden. Not the best brews in town but may be the best place to chill out and enjoy the nice atmosphere! Good Charcuterie plate.

    I ate a weird preparation but it was super delicious! Beers are really good too. I had to buy an Uncle Dave's Rye bottle!

    Fried mushrooms are great. So is their fairly low ABV (5.6%) juicy hazy ipa 🍺

    Excellent food. The table situation can be kind of tough during dinner time, but it's worth it.

    The place is nice to hang out with friends and they have food which is a bonus compared to other nearby beer places. However, I find their beer to be just okay- lacking flavor for me.

    The risotto and the bread pudding were both amazing standouts.

    Order at the cash register. Try the beer flight if you are a first timer. Parking spots a bit tight.

    Good chili and cornbread. Sausages were a bit too smoky for my taste.
