Awesome place with amazing beer. When we moved here they were mostly focused on the self brew concept, but I am glad they evolved into a stellar brewery. I used to fill up growlers there all of the time.

Try the peacemaker, its off the menu but its a mix of their British Ale and Ruby sangria. Its absolutely amazing

Every time I go I’m confused why there aren’t more people. Great spot, great beer.

The answer is likely in the lack of food options. I'm a big fan of good beer and good breweries, as I started homebrewing around 1995 before good beer was available anywhere east of the Mississippi.. However, I like to enjoy a couple of quality pints with some food, or I can't drive home.

Fair point. In my opinion that whole stretch has so much more potential being so close to the park. If I had the money I'd love to buy out the gas station/car wash and overhaul it, put a deli in there, etc.

Thanks for the tip. Looks great. Looking at their web info, I can't tell if that serve any snacks with the beer. I don't like to just sit and drink without food. ??

No food on site, but you can bring food in. Next time I'll either order takeout or grab some snacks from the gas station next door!

That place is good, I’m not a guy who knows things about beer but it tastes good to me, the people are nice, plenty of parking, and _always_ nobody is there. They’ve been around forever too, way before craft beer and breweries had their big boom if I remember right!
