Spencer GreenhillFebruary 18, 2017Why do you keep asking this stupid question as I've never been there? Just stop.
OK, words don't describe the beer/ ales... really, haven't been there???
Sorry joey but I decided to take over mayorship of this place ;)

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."
