BadWolf Brewing Company (Big BadWolf)

My next door neighbor and I has been fans of Little Bad Wolf since it opened. We'd bet on sporting events, and the payment would be a growler from BadWolf. Good times. When we heard about this place opening, it was right down the street so we imagined that we could go there, get stoned to the bejesus and then walk home. Dave used to drive by there before it opened to check on the status. We were there on opening day.

This is not located in a retail area. It's like a small office park or something right next to a high school. When you walk in you get a warehouse feel. It's big. It's open. There are several tables. There is a bar, and they have more than a few beers on tap. On the other side of the tables you can see the brewing area. They've obviously invested in the best equipment.

On weekends they have events. There is room to have some live entertainment, a small band or one guy with an acoustic guitar. Sometimes they'll invite a food truck to park outside. It's a comfortable place to hang out.

The beers from this place are fantastic. A beer called "Jesse's Girl" seems to be the flagship beer. That was the first beer I tasted from this place. They have a Jalapeno IPA, the best beer in the history of beer, that they bring out every Cinco de Mayo. They also have "Aces High" which always seems to be available. In addition, they are very creative, and they brew up new inventions all the time with very clever names. This is high quality beer.

The only problem for me is that I just don't like the type of people that hang out in places like this. The last time I went in there I got two growlers of Jalapeno IPA, and as I was leaving I saw some stuck up brewhouse goon shaking his head as if there was something wrong with getting two growlers of the best beer ever in the history of beer. I like what I like. Sometimes I like to experiment, but not while Jalapeno IPA is available. I'm not going to sit there with a round of samplers with a note pad hoping everyone notices how sophisticated I am. I just don't like this type of people. But this does not apply to the people who work there. The people that work there are generally very cool.

 

Nice addition to the BadWolf family, this is their second place. Larger and more open. Tables and bar. Grolwer fills and on site consumption. Service was excellent. 10 beers on tap, all decent.
