Super great sandwiches. But very low light level. Bring a flashlight.
Kevin VJuly 10, 2016Great sandwiches! Somewhat disappointed by the limited selection of beers. And beware for the slow services. Don't go there in the rush. Never got full attention of a waiter.
If you aren't sure which beer to try, have the Crimson Dynamo! One of the best I have had!
Pete DeJongJuly 4, 2013The menu says the Devil Dancer sandwich is hot. I doubted. I should have believed.
If you like Fab Collab (fall 2014) then try the Chronic.
Make sure when you visit you buy a jar of dirty bastard mustard. Wow really good.
- I love the Red's Rye, but the Devil Dancer triple IPA is awesome.
all day ipa and the endurance ale are founder's best kept secrets.
Free shows on Thursday nights starting at about 9pm. Try the dirty bastard or the Darth Vader ( imperial & dirty bastard). It's the best.

We pride ourselves on over-indulged brewing—which has helped us become the world’s second highest-rated brewery. Our taproom is a casual beer hall where titles are left at the door. Enjoy a sandwich and one of a dozen or more beers produced on-site, while you listen to amazing live music.

"Never had a bad sandwich here. All of the meats and bread are tasty. Try the bread bowl soup or the crab dip. Beer cheese dip is tasty as well. Try a sandwich with the corned beef or chicken."
