If your near here this is a must stop. Multi level decks, disc golf course, corn hole, barbecues in a killer setting. No inside seating but that's fine. No need to be inside with this kinda of setting. Way better than a industrial warehouse box. The owners are way cool and approachable. The beer is excellent as well.

This is a great little brewery tucked away in the woods- if you get a chance to visit, you should do so.

They happily allow dogs, have a few there themselves, and a relaxed outdoor area to enjoy their brews. There's a Frisbee course if that's your thing, and plenty of other stuff (tightrope, sack toss etc) that make it a place the youngins can hang out at as well. Plenty of pleasant spots to sip on your beer.

Speaking of which, it's high quality. Their IPAs are quite good. I can't do much but recommend them, really. They know what they're doing.
The menu has been about the same in the 5+ years I've been there (once every year on vacation) I think they experiment a little, if I remember correctly they once briefly carried a decent sour. They have 2-3 ipa's generally, and I think 3 other beers, ones a blonde. So not bad at all- perhaps better than most, if not average.

Last time I was there I drove up 2 hours before their opening hours hoping to get two growlers filled before I left town. The guy I saw opening shop there happily obliged. This pretty accurately reflects the service here.

Good place, good people, good beer.

It's a shame Lagunitas made them change their name/logo, but I guess that's corporate America for ya!
