The Moscow Brewing Company

Small tap room, located just north of downtown, industrial park area, not far from campus. . quite cozy. 4 taps on, flights available. Modern interior, wood and steel.

this is a cool little spot, off the beaten path a bit it seems, a garage type space, with some outside seating in front spilling into the parking lot, a narrow slip of a bar room, with a slightly wider production area in the back, just a handful of seats at the bar. this place has been here awhile, i think changed owners at least once, and its got a bit of a been there forever kind of vibe inside, but is very much a working brewery, a modest operation. i liked the low key nature of the place, but hoped for a few more beers, just a handful were on when i was there, a robust malty northwestern ipa which i liked pretty well and a berliner which i did not like much were the two i had time for, they also had an imperial ipa on, maybe something dark too, but the selection was pretty limited. they may have a had a cider as well. i liked the ipa, didnt like the berliner, but enjoyed the space and my time in it. the guy behind the bar, a family member of the brewer, was a little absent minded but was friendly and fun to chat with, seemed happy to be there and all. these guys appear to have a loyal local following, everyone relaxing with the big garage door open on a springy feeling afternoon. a cool little small town brewery worth checking out if you are in town, an impressive local scene is building here!

Well crafted beers....great vibe, small.
