The tap room is built into a loading dock. There is a bar and tables with seating for up to 50 people or so. When I visited they had 15 beers on tap and some of their beers in cans to go. The quality of the beer is very good. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Overall was a pretty nice place inside but was a bit of a letdown. We really excited to support them but the beers were fine, nothing great. I would go back to give it another shot but not my favorite of the trip.

Just okay, I want to like this brewery more but it does not meet or exceed any of the standards set by its local competitors. Temperance is like a .500 baseball team, not bad enough to be terrible and be totally ignored and not good enough to be embraced and cherished as a local hero. Not to mention that Temperance "missed the boat " by not establishing a downtown Evanston satellite brewpub a couple of years ago. The current industrial location with expensive off-site provided snacks so far away from mass transit and high density housing is unattractive.

Interesting place with a really nice beer garden / deck to hang out and have some drinks. They have snacks available and you can order in food if you want something more substantial. Can see the brewery a bit through a glass wall, but not really a tour or anything like that when I was there - just a really nice beer garden!
