Daft Badger Brewing

Cool little brewpub in a building that once housed a painting contractor, in a mixed used area. (They have a picture book that shows and tells the transition to its present iteration. ) Tap room is open to the patio, spacious and finished in a warm faux brick, with a small bar in the back right corner that seats 5. Additional tables about the room and on the covered patio. A dozen beers on tap, the 2 IPAs I had were very tasty. Friendly, personable bartenders. I did not try the food, but I've heard good things.

Another bustling place on a Friday night. This was recommended for the food too.Despite the crowd, service was brisk. Pretty good BLT. Nice variety of taps, with flights an option.

a fun little spot just off the beaten path here north of town. its a smallish and kind of humble taproom, with a little patio area out front and some high tops inside as you walk up to the little bar that doesnt seat too many folks at all. somewhat nondescript decor, but its clean and newish and a fine place to hang out. the tanks are all in behind the bar there, and it smells like a working brewery, a good thing. they had an impressive list of beers for how small it seems to be, more than ten on tap, and some pretty ambitious stuff among them. i really enjoyed both i had, an azacca hopped hazy ipa, and their popular josiahs revenge stout, both of which were quite good, a step off from professionally done, but close, and distinctive in unique ways. i wish i had time for more, as a lot of others looked exciting as well. service was first rate in here, really good, friendly, prompt, kind, it was great. the vibe was mellow when i was in, but i could see it getting busy in a hurry in here, its a pretty small place. comfortable space though, good energy, and cool beer. its neat that this little town can support a handful of breweries, the beers here were better than the local average in my experience as well. i will definitely be back for more, a very solid little local operation here!

 

(#16 of 49) We visited this pub to try their beers and grab a bite to eat. A parking lot is adjacent, and a covered patio is located at the front of the building. On a Tuesday evening, this place was jammed, which should be an indication that something good was going on here. And good it was. It is a small pub which helped make it seem crowded, and there were only two seats left so we grabbed them. The tables are all long community tables, and there were a few seats at the small bar. The brewing equipment was visible.

There were 12 beers available, so we ordered a sampler flight of 7 of them. All were brewed to style and beyond, and we scored them from a C+ to a B+ so that we gave them B minus grade overall. We liked the Summer's Envy IPA and the Hoppypotamus Pale Ale the most. The menu also listed cider and wine being available, but I did not gather details on them.

The food menu is not extensive, but was loaded with great-sounding stuff. We weren't very hungry so we ordered the characuetrie plate. It was loaded and it was excellent. The folks who were sharing our table ordered a few smallplate items (including some sort of a bacon dish), and they all looked very tasty.

The smallness of the place make it feel cozy here, so I liked the vibe. Regardless of how crowded it was, the service was very good. This place is very worthy of a visit.
