Tuesday is trivia night at Barn Brewery and the place was packed. Small bar in the left corner seats about 8 with plenty of tables tightly arranged about the room and a nice elevated patio on the sidewalk out front. The place is very opened with large barn doors and a view of a fairly busy throfare. 10 or so beers on tap, I had the Rooster Call IPA which was nice. Fast, friendly service, even with the crowd. Definitely want to check this place out on a quieter night.

this is a neat little place, and we had fun here, but with so many cool breweries in the area here, im not sure this one would be on the top of my list to go back to. the space is great, a well lit patio out front and a very open air feel, tiny brewery visible inside, and a short bar there too, with a small kitchen in the back and some coze rural sort of decor and a mellow feel aside from the televisions. they had a handful of their own beers and a decent list of guest drafts, but i was hoping for a bit more of their own beers to drink when we were in. the vibe is great, and the couple of beers we had were very solid, including an ipa type and a belgian blonde, but i would have loved to get into a few more. we ordered some tacos from the kitchen, which seemed simple enough, but it took forever, like way way way too long, and although they ended up refunding them and offering us a beer, it sort of soured the experience. its a shame too because the fish tacos were actually awesome, they just took forever. maybe they were having an off night, id be willing to give it another chance. the place is fun and mellow and relaxing, and their beer was solid.

Small bar, but wonderful service. Stopped while on vacation with my wife for some samples. Beers were decent, but not top of the line. Place was very clean, multiple tables and was open to the street to allow for an open air feel. Servers were both excellent, quick and knowledgeable about the beers that were on tap.

Barn Brewery was nice I must say. My third brewery after Fall Brewing and Poor House Brewing. This one was the most refined of the three. There was a guy leading a trivia game which a lot of patrons were fully engaged with.
There were some seating outside along the sidewalk on a patio and bunch of interior seating. It was actually quite crowded, so I had to sit on a cushion by the fireplace which was fine. I ordered a house beer, Daniel Boone, it was good. What was really great were the slices of pizzas they had in hand. I did see a small kitchen, but I think these were pizzas ordered and delivered by a nearby pizzeria.
Again, like my two previous brewery visits on this day, I enjoyed my visit here too. Good day. 3 for 3.
