When I’ve visited: Several times since the brewery opened.
What I’ve bought: Capitol Blonde, Riptide Rye, Ridunkelous Dunkel Weisse, The Oracle, Hop Salad, and a Forked River pint glass.
What I like: Brewers are usually around to chat about the beers; growlers available; they’ve brewed a wide range of rotators and one-offs since opening; a few of the recent releases - such as the sour tripel and Queen’s Ranger DIPA - have impressed me.
What I dislike: Their flagship beers are very pedestrian and many of their one-offs have been downright bad (the Ridunkelous and various APAs come to mind); seems like they still have some QC issues to work out (low carbonation being one of them); the brewery interior is barebones with a modest storefront and some brite tanks in the back; as a result there’s not much to “tour"; typically only 3-4 beers are on offer at any given time.
Would I go back? For their better releases, yes. But they still have a long way to go before they can hang with the big boys (Bellwoods, Great Lakes, Amsterdam, etc).
Overall Rating: 58
