It's a great vibe and location filled with cool people and an ever expanding menu of beverages, including beer, slushies, and a great assortment of NA beverages....

I Have been to this brewery several times and the beer has been okay. I went this weekend on a nice summer day, and thought I would try their watermelon slush drink that was on special. To say that the beverage was pure sugar would be an under statement. It was a sugar coma waiting to happen. I have never wanted to return a drink before, but I mustered up the courage to ask the bartender if I could please exchange it for anything else, as the slush was undrinkable. She was not very friendly, and needless to say, I was unable to exchange it for an alternative. It is my fault for ordering their slush, but the customer service was not...
