Brick building with street parking. Next to a railroad track. Patio between the tracks and the interior. Exposed beamed ceiling with pipes, brick walls, and a wood plank floor. One bar for ordering and with a few high chairs and another bar at a right angle with the taps, and windowed garage doors to the patio. Other seating at high and low tables. Windows at street side to the front. TVs showing sports. About twenty taps, with a good selection of styles. Offers cocktails, pizza, and pretzels. Fills crowlers to go. Competent and cordial staff. Cozy spot but with enough room for larger groups.

V (4.25) - Fairly typical of a brewery in the 2010's (and 20's). Big space, lots of seating, large bar. Could be loud at times
Q (4) - I had many of their beers over the course of the afternoon. They were all good. Nothing blew my socks off, but I would drink each of them again, given the chance. Scottish Ale, Hazy IPA, Blonde, Black IPA
Serv (5) - This was a work function, but the staff here was excellent. Friendly, competent and knowledgeable.
Sel (5) - I was surprised how many beers were on tap here. Had to be north of 20! A wide variety from Milkshake IPA to Saisons and Stouts.

O (4.5) - I came here for a structured work event, so my experience is liked skewed. But I was really impressed by this place and their beer.

It’s kind of a weird location, tucked by VWM and I-235, an area I spend a lot of time in, but never made it here. I’d been missing out! I'll certainly try to make it back again.

Located in a strip mall in a spot that used to be a "church". Interior is industrial at first with a modern bar that boasts 20+ taps with a few being guests. The staff is knowledge their beers and always smiling. The beer is pretty dang good. There's art from local artists on display with a lounge area with board games. The patio is sizeable with umbrella tables. You can bring the kids and have them color while you enjoy your excellent beer.
