If you like pretend breweries that will pass off other people's beer as their own, then this is the place for you!

Their wort is made in Canada and shipped to the "brewery", where they add water, yeast, and other things (dry hops, blueberries, the tears of people who actually care about beer) and ferment it. They don't even own a brew kettle or a mash/lauter tun. It's the EZ-Bake Oven of brewing.

The real kicker is that when they DO run out of their own beer, they'll serve you someone else's similar beer and not tell you! That's right, they pass off other people's beers as their own. They admitted as much on a Facebook review after being called out for serving Guinness instead of their coffee stout without mentioning the switch. How many people give them reviews for their beer are NOT actually OF THEIR BEER?

As for their "world class beer", it tastes like an extract brew ... drinkable, but mediocre and flawed.

The food is better than average, and their stage area seems like a cool place to see a show. But there's better food a football throw away at No Problemo. There's better beer across the street at Pour Farm. There's an ACTUAL brewery a 3-minute walk down the hill at Moby Dick.
