Latest reviews from Scotts Valley

“Conveniently located right beside I17 on the way to Santa Cruz. Plenty of parking which is shared by a large strip mall and a Carl’s Jr. 8 beers on tap, but no barrel aged, or sours, or lactose, or fruit. No cans or bottles. Beers are good, but average. Beautiful design.“

“Chill friendly place with nice outdoor seating. About 8-10 beers on tap, most were pretty good. Staff was very friendly. A cool place to hang.“

“Yay, first review. They have been open just a couple of days, in a mall, right behind what looks to be a decent beer bar that I also entered into the DB. The space is a bit cramped, with most of the real estate going to brewing. I did not check to see if there was outside seating out back. The bar is mainly for ordering, but several folks were standing around it drinking their beers as well. Oddly, the bar was covered with a cheap looking bar cloth; not sure if thats temporary until they seal the wood of the bar surface, but I hope so. There are tables around the corner, and a couple out front, and they were letting folks take their beers pretty much anywhere they wanted, including outside. It was pretty busy at 6PM on a Friday, still basking in the glow of newness. The brewing equipment is on display behind windows on the way to the bathroom, and while I did not ask, there were customers in there as well, either getting a tour or on a self tour. Beers are currently focused on the basic styles and all come in in the 4-6% ABV range. All area available in various sizes from 8-20 oz, as well as 4 oz tasters. I got the fight of six, which was $12, as I recall. All of the beers appear to be served out of pony kegs, and they blew several while I was there, but always had more waiting. All beers are unfiltered, frequently downright murky in appearance. Several taste a bit like they were kit products. None were terrible, but nothing stood out either. Hopefully they are still dialing things in, because the rest of the operation was very friendly, laid back, and likable.“
