Update: Down rating due to new management's decisions.

North Shepherd Brewing (Astral Brewing) used to be a great place. While their beers were never exceptional, they had a couple of decent pours. Once their master brewer left, the beers started to decline - hazy IPAs were not hazy anymore. Psychonaut (Durham or TC whatever it's called now) is not a confused west coast 'may be' pale ale.

Then things turned for worse when the new management took over - starting with the brand name. How original to name the brewery the same as the address, just in case someone got lost? Then came the worst decision - to paint over the astronaut murals that made this place unique. It's a space city and the brewery name didn't have to be associated with the murals. Now you've got another mediocre brewery, charging $8 a pint. Oh, they're super kids friendly - not opposed to kids at breweries but a section with play toys? Misplaced priorities!

They've got a couple of decent pours going now - Fruited Yale Hazy, German pils. But the Hefeweizen and other IPAs are still mediocre.
