First, we really couldn’t wait to return and try new beers here. We even brought friends along! Solid brewery with awesome service and brews. One comment: it felt that the 21+ crowd was shunned to the back. While we appreciated an “adult section” it seemed completely bizarre that the baby parents, breastfeeding moms drinking beer, infants and toddlers ran the place out front…ya know, the area with ideal seating. Even as we left, tons of kids running around and baby carriages hanging out. I understand and appreciate the new need to be “kid-friendly” but at the end of the day, the kids aren’t drinking beer and nor should both their parents be crushing 7-8% beers either and driving home. So in my humble opinion, I think you need to pay better attention to your key audience. Just, FYI, we all kinda had the same sentiment in the back! People might not express it in writing but it’s kinda frustrating overall apparently.
This being said, it doesn’t change how we feel about your beer and service - awesome stuff - but just some food for thought about the...
Read more[UPDATED]: A great, local establishment with friendly staff and creative craft beers.
My first beer here, during opening weekend, was the Orange Cream Dream - a tasty and interesting take on a not-too-often-seen style. Since then, they've also offered a Cherry version of the same beer which was just as good.

It's nice to see a place that has fun experimenting with their offerings - there are always an assortment of sours available and other inventive beers such as the Two Tickets To Pellet Ice (tiki inspired collaboration with Equilibrium Brewery) DIPA, brewed with blue spirulina which gave it a cool blue color.
Lastly, any brewery that hosts Zane Lamprey on tour, and brews a beer in collaboration of said tour (Zane's Big Adv3nture IPA) deserves 5 stars...
Read moreWaited in line for about an hour upon leaving the brewery discovered our car was blocked in by the tow company next door. Told the staff at the brewery and we were told to call police. Police said nothing they could do. Brewery staff was of zero help. I was left to negotiate with the tow company and after a 75 minute standoff where the tow company employee continuously insulted myself and my wife the driver agreed to take $20 to move his truck so we could pull out and go to a baseball game that was now half over. I then called the brewery to make them aware of the situation where I at least expected an apologetic phone call and got nothing. I will never return to this brewery or purchase any of their products. Sadly you lost 2 fairly...
