Brass Cannon Brewing

Nice place to hang out. Good selection of beers. Activities almost every day

Pretty standard sort of brew pub scene. Service was great and the guy said he had only been there a short while. I was the only one there until an older couple came in and we joined in conversation....the thing I liked here was they didn't try TOO HARD. They made some decent beers along the line of a pale ale, porter, 2 stouts, etc....Only 2 IPAs!!!! Cool vibe. Close to the outlets and another brewery. Stop in for a pint and some decent folks. Don't expect to be blown away but the experience is solid for sure.

 

Vibe: The tap room seems to be relatively new and is a large room with high ceilings and a bar that wraps around two of the walls. There is also a side room with couches, where the band sets up when there is live music. Outdoor seating is also available in the front underneath a tent.

Quality: Beers were served in pint glasses at the proper temperatures.

Service: Service was fast and the bartender was extremely friendly.

Selection: The tap room had about ten beers available on tap that were available in varying serving sizes. Flights of four were also available. The tap room also has crowlers to-go.

The new-ish tasting room is actually quite nice. It's also around the block from Alewerks.

The service is decent. On the occasion we stopped in, the woman serving us was pleasant and efficient with our purchase. The selection is on the limited side.

However, in general, the beers here are a bit of a mess. I don't think they have good control over fermentation temperature as I taste phenols in stouts, too many esters in hoppy beers, etc. I once believed much of their off-flavors came from the misuse of their repurposed brewing equipment. In a few beers I also get a bit of a metallic flavor that is off-putting. However, I think they have newer equipment and these issues remain. I also wonder if tap lines are cleaned regularly. In general, the beer quality is just not good overall.

I wish I could say I will visit here again but alas, that is not the case.

 

 

My wife and I stopped here to try their beers on our pub-crawl vacation. This brewery is located in an attractive building that is only a few blocks from Alewerks. The taproom is a wide open space that is brightly lit. The L-shaped bar is at the rear of the pub and has 12 stools. A number of tables/chairs are also available for ample seating here. Beer is ordered at the bar. A patio offers addition seating.

There are 8 taps so we ordered a sampler flight to include all of them. All of them are brewed to style, but none had any excitement to them. Maybe being a new brewery they are still tweaking their recipes or adjusting to their equipment, so I hope this happens soon. Only the oatmeal stout was considered by us to be at a quality level that we felt made it a couple points above average. Overall we gave a C+ grade to the beers.

There is no food offered by the brewery other than packaged snacks, although a schedule posted on the wall said they have a rotating schedule for a food truck 6 days per week. A poster also advertised live music. Beers are available to go in growlers and howlers, plus a few beers are available in bombers or 16 oz. cans.

Taproom still feels new and fresh; even the parking lot and facade. Lots of bar seating and some tables. No food offered. flights of four are standard. Eight to ten of their own beers on tap. No guest taps. Knowledgeable service, but not overly friendly. Beers were all average. Bling offered was pretty neat. Music and tvs playing.

 

 

Great taproom! Clean, friendly and fantastic service!
