An average brewpub that occasionally puts out some good season selections.

Great place. Didn’t have the food, focused on the beer but the menu looked intriguing. Brought along some friends who are beer novices and were treated great. Very impressed with the beer selection. 12 taps and not just the standard stuff. 3 IPAs on tap including a fantastic Double/Imperial IPA! Loved ’Curse the Goat’ Dopplebock as well. Not every beer was my favorite but there was something for everyone here. Don’t leave without trying one of the Bourbon Barrel series, wish I had bought a case. Outside appearance and ambiance is nothing special, but a real gem inside. Many thanks to Jim the assistant brewer for giving a mini tour of the brewery!

Decrepit brick exterior. Wood panelled interior. 12 brews on tap with a nice array of styles. Cozy inside, brewing equipment behind the bar and a spacious dining area. Good service, knowledgeable about the beer. Did not try the food. This place doesn’ t look like much but they are turning out some good beers, both of the IPA’s on tap were very good, and other beers were solid.

This is worth the trip for me because i can get dropped off here while the little lady will go shopping at the Lighthouse mall down the street,a very friendly place with good beer and i am hoping they come out with their Bourbon series soon.CHEERS!

This building is not much to look at on the outside, but clean and simple on the inside. Did not order food, but a decent selection. Nikki was the server and she was pleasant, courteous, attentive, and she obtained the ABV’s upon request. Thanks, Nikki! A nice selection of beers were available during this visit and most ended up with an overall average of between 13-15 and were average to above average. I will definitely revisit this establishment to see what’s new on the beer list.

Visited July 11th 2008. This place was disappointing. The place was hard to find, the building needs to be fixed up a bit on the outside, and some signage near the road, especially to inform about the parking lot in behind the building would be nice. Inside looked nice enough. Food was overpriced and not so great. The beer was a lot of copies of macros. I wouldn’t go again, even if in the area.

Visited 4/27/08. Late Sunday evening. Another unimposing brewpub. Good looking brewpub. Long bar with about 14 beers on tap. Behind the bar was all glass with the brewing equipment on the other side. The service was great. The twins Jessie and Sara were knowledgeable and friendly. Late night munchies and I had the buffalo calamari, which was pretty good. There was a decent sized crowd at the time. One of my favorite aspects was the collection of steins for regular patrons. Glassblower Devin Somerville is apparently very talented for the glassware was ornate and beautifully visceral. It was a long day, but this place was great.

I wasn’t planning on stopping here, but I saw some highway signs while on a trip. So advertising really does work! The neighborhood is industrial and I wasn’t expecting much looking at the buliding on the outside. Inside, the place is very clean and looked brand new to me. Lots of cement and wood with glass between you and the brewing equipment. I had some great pasta while tasting. The beers were solid and above average, especially their pale ales. A pleasant surprise and I will deifnitely return if I am anywhere in the area again.

Went here after I was essentially turned away by the impossibly long line at Dark Lord Day, and was not disappointed. The ambience was like most every other brewpub, with large windows to look upon the kettles, and lots of great period photos on the walls. Do not be disturbed by the outward appearance and its relative proximity to not one, but two power plants. The place is cool, even if it looks like a dump on the outside. What I mean is: if this was anywhere else other than in a depressed industrial area it would be seen as gentrified and upscale. Service was prompt and friendly, and the selection was great 11 pulls of great stuff. The food was also good, although it’s hard to screw up a reuben. Overall, if it wasn’t so bloody far away, I’d make it a regular stop.

This brewpub is fairly small and cozy. They always have a large selection of their beers on tap and the food is above average. The beer is hit or miss at times, but I still enjoy stoping in for lunch on occasion.
