Really a nice surprise from start to finish.
Found out about this place via Groupon; they had a deal for 2 ints and a 4-pack of beers to go. Not a bad deal at all, bought it, came on in with the girlfriend.
First off, it is a LITTLE tricky to find the brewery: it is tucked away in a quiet area in a business park. Thankfully, they had signs to help find the way. Plenty of parking.
They have a game room with vintage pinball and arcade games at the front, which was crammed with kids. The room then opened up into a sizeable and nice-looking taproom. TV on the wall, art for sale and cardboard cutouts of assorted sci-fi throughout as well. Fresh popcorn and peanuts are by the front entrance for snacking.
Staff was great. Nice, polite, quick. They had to change a keg for a beer we wanted, and apologized for the wait, but seriously, they took 3 minutes to change a keg and get a beer poured from it? Damn good!
The beer was pretty good: I liked the saison a lot, and their blonde was bananananana-y and refreshing. I thought it was a LITTLE too banana-y, but my girlfriend LOVED it, so if she’s happy, I am happy. The IPA was just okay, but I am not a big IPA person anyway, so not a big deal whatsoever.
In the end, really enjoyed ourselves and liked the beer, atmosphere, and staff. ...
Read moreSo during our visit, we were not anticipating there was an event going on here. Apprently this brewery hosts a few of these a year. This time it was a dog adoption event with a food place, and hound dogs ready for adoption, they even had puppies. Many even brought their own dogs, so pets were pretty much expected everywhere
With all the chaos going on, the staff still managed to get around to us periodically, though you are expected to go to the bar to order, as most places do.
They do, however, have room to escape in their pinball room, where it is strictly prohibited from children to play. Actually got us some peace in there from all the other riffraff going on.
They have a small variety of drinks they make themselves, and even have hard ciders that are pretty solid. Definitely reccomend coming here at least once... Provided your timing is...
Read moreI cannot believe I live just up the street and I have never been until now. I go to a ton of breweries so its weird I never went. I thought it would be empty at 2 on a Friday but it was not and it was hopping by 5. Most social brewery I have ever been to and that is saying a lot. I talked to all kinds of people with a bunch of WI people in there. Very friendly and cool with real regular type peeps. Funky industrial kinda area old school little brewery. Beer was solid. Also can get cheap taco truck next door with $99 taco Tuesday. And to top it off lots of 80s arcade games with lots of pinball. Outdoor area. Can bring dogs inside....
