Ponderosa Brewing Company

Store front brewpub in mixed use area on the west side of town. Straight bar opposite the entrance to the left seats about a dozen with some tables about the room and on the patio. 10 beers on tap. Friendly bartender. Stew was solid.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon with my mom. Had their Italian Pilsner, which was pretty good, and their kolsch, which wasn't bad. Kind of an industrial looking spot in a mixed use building. Staff was friendly. Lots of booths and tables and barstools. Some beer to go.

 

Stopped in here as my work location was on this end of town. Nice way to end the day of sitting in class. Happy hour specials for food and drinks. Nice selection of taps, regulars and seasonals. A few harder to find styles as well (altbier, anyone?) Quiet, but steady stream of customers. Price was right. Had some sliders that really hit the spot. Much better than expected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like to come here from time to time. Family-friendly which is huge.

I also appreciate they do a good number of beers that other local breweries don't offer, from goses and cream ales to German lagers.

The service can be spotty and the food isn't out of this world, but the happy hour prices on snacks and beer make it all worthwhile.

A good stop before or after the Natural History Museum or Explora.
