First, let me get the good out of the way. The inside is beautifully done with a classy cozy interior. Second, the staff were super friendly—-probably helped since relatively no one was inside but still nice attitudes all around.
The reason for the bad rating is mainly because of the way they operate. As a “brewery “ they are a small batch, 5 barrel outfit so that means that they have an extremely limited supply. It takes them 2-4 weeks to brew a new batch supposedly.
Hence, when I went in they had NONE of their beers available and only mostly beers from New Belgium. At $7-8 a beer that’s not their own I could have gone to any other bar for that or a lower price.

They also serve their own food which is always a good thing when...
Read morefyi to anybody planning on coming here the beer list is on the smaller side and the beer percentage is also on the lower side. i think the highest percent i saw was a 6% which in no way is a bad thing or a knock to them but we were looking for more options and stronger ones. other than that, the service was great and the waitress was very attentive. i'd visit in the future to try some of the food i saw on the menu which seems like this place is more of a date night so i'd be sure to visit under different circumstances. i'd also note that the restroom was extremely clean. lastly, the beer was good and there was really no complaints about...
