Recently just picked a few up, these one taste AMAZING. I've gotten some in the past that were still great but the tropical flavs stick out like a sore thump on these pick ups. Great beer, always an option when don't know what to get lol.

Tough to find but worth your while once you get there - i just wish there was more room. Very good beer and a very good atmosphere that seems to be getting more popular every weekend. I just wish it was closer to my house!

Drinking area is way too small. Not a pleasant experience if there is no room to enjoy your beer.

Great old reclaimed factory building a short way from down town. Small tasting room with 4 tables. Lots of room for expansion behind the serving counter. They seem to have some difficulty filling long neck growlers. Solid beers and fast efficient service.

Have gone here twice now. Small place in an old industrial building. Your GPS will get a bit confused since the factory is on a driveway that isn't mapped. You have to cross the rail road tracks and drive along the factory, parallel to the tracks, until you finally see a door with the sign above it. It's a small room that gets packed fast, lots of open floor space in the brewery though, so maybe expansion in the future? The beers are fresh and there's about 6-8 to choose from, depending on the rotation. Flights are $3 for 5 and you get really good pours. Beer is really great, the Nummy Nummy was good but the Naughty Eskimo and Thornton Melon were perfect for the summer. Service was OK, one of the brewers was really nice but the guy running the taps didn't seem like he wanted to be there and wasn't talkative.
