True North Ale Company — Restaurant in Ipswich

Overall, this place is great! We came during their brewversary and it was an awesome party! Great music, food was delightful and quick from thr food truck! Great selection of beers! But unfortunately, what stuck out in my mind was that right before leaving we wanted to buy a shirt. Their was only 1 couple in front of us in line so we figured it wasn't too bad of a wait so we'd get a shirt. However, the girl spent 15 minutes talking to her friends in front of us and then when we came up to the register finally for our turn, she looked at her phone and said "well time is up. I'm having a beer" and ran off so fast. My husband and I both were just in disbelief of what happened that it was almost comical. So that service was unfortunate, but the rest of the day...

Thank you for checking in with me to see what you could do to up my review to a 5. Honestly, I tell everyone you all are THE best place to go in New England for MULTIPLE impressive hazy new england IPAs, our favorites these days. Also incredibly observant and helpful staff - the best we've seen. BUT, and it's a big one, we need food. Yes, you do have wonderful food trucks - and we partake in those when we can, however we seem to be pretty good at pulling in just as they are pulling out.

SO, a lack of food earns you a 1 rating. However, scoring holistically, since the beer is, afterall, more important, our overall rating remains a 4. But love love love you all just the same!

Just know we would come MUCH more often if we could eat...

This place just opened last week and we've already been there twice. The facility itself is magnificent. The taproom is big open, airy and very cheery. They have four beers on tap so far. I was assured that they're working on many more to be presented soon. The staff were all very pleasant and eager to please. The beer itself was excellent, and there was a great view of the brew house from the the windows in the taproom. And here's the best part. The food. There is no food, you can bring your own. This works out well for us being on a budget and all. They frequently have food trucks serving everything from donuts to pizza and so much more. We brought hummus and crackers the last time. The tab?for four beers and a great time with...
