Ben Franklin once said "Beer is proof God loves us". Well....that doesn't seem to cover it. What if you're atheist? Buddhist? Taoist? Or what if weapons are your religion like the Mandalorian? Or maybe beer IS your religion?! Woah. Mind blown right?
Well good friends if you don't fit into Ben Franklin's cute little box like Schrodinger's cat then I'm here to tell you that Mispillion River Brewing is the altar you need to be worshipping at. The folks at MRB are doing this for the love of beer....and people. Maybe even a tiny profit but whatever.
If you're reading this and live nearby and wondering if you should stop by and try the brews...quit hesitating. Just go. I took a 200 mile road trip just to bring home Vader. Maybe Luke didn't love his dad and yeah, maybe he had an anger management problem but I'm telling you, this brew is a throat hug everyone will want. Don't believe me? I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Tried everything on tap and found out I do like IPAs, sours and well...pretty much everything MRB makes. I'm going back, you should go too. Go support Eric and his amazing crew and see just what Ben Franklin missed out on and why Luke's biggest regret was losing his hand so he can't hold two...
Read moreGreat initial atmosphere, crappy initial treatment by the staff. This place, from the experience I had, looks like they cater to the hyper-local clientele. This is a fine practice, in theory. Problem is that you get someone like myself from out of town, and you act differently towards them, it skews the whole appeal.
The beers were very solid, I'll give them that. But when I tell the taproom staff behind the bar that, "no, I don't need a full size beer, I have to drive", and they look at me like I'm just an irritation, that's a problem. It comes off as if you're more interested in making overhead than you are about curbing intoxicated driving. I know you're not, but that's the impression.
Overall, if you like solid beer (and that's the intent of any brewery) then you'll like this place. Just be wary if you're a tourist, they'll peg...
Read moreThis used to be a favorite spot. Moved out of the area and was driving back through so we thought we’d stop. What a mistake!!! My girlfriend and I went at 1:30p on a Sunday afternoon. We were offended the second we walked I and we aren’t no Karen’s. There were some of the apparent regulars around the bar. One of them was offensive and off putting from the jump. Sexual conversation and degrading woman. I was embarrassed for every woman in the place. Actually felt bad that he had that life. Obviously will be alone for a long time.
We don’t blame the bartender because she was super sweet. This is obviously a hang out for the regulars. Not sure those traveling through, woman or those with children would be greeted with the proper atmosphere. It’s a shame, used to be a fun spot. Recommend many other local spots...
