3 Freaks Brewery

 

i have tried to check this place out in the past and had trouble finding it, darn our dependence on technology, its not even difficult to find, just right there off county line road. its a humble little place, a working brewery vibe to it, just a few seats at the bar, and the couple barrel system chugging along in the back. i was impressed with how many beers they had on tap for having such a minimal system and small capacity, maybe eight or so beers flowing, covering a lot of ground in terms of styles. i had a saison and a coffee stout, but was intrigued by several more on the list. the saison was weird, a little messed up and phenolic on the fermentation to me, a bit sharp, but real drinkable. the coffee stout was excellent though, the right amount of lactose and a rich cold brewed java complexion. one miss, one hit. the dude behind the bar appeared to own the place, he was humble and welcoming and seemed to really be doing it for the love of making beer, and that always rubs me the right way. not all craft beer needs to be fancy, and thats something i appreciated while i was in here, low key, no frills, just beer, and sometimes i think us beer nerds lose sight of that. i had a good time in here, and am glad things seem to be going well for them. i have not seen their beer around town at all, it must be all in house...
