A spectacular addition to the small town courthouse square, this establishment is housed in a renovated church and offers a cool vibe to an otherwise traditional small town. They offer 28 taps of various house brews and guest drinks, the best selection of craft beer in the county.
The food is superb (I highly recommend their homemade buffalo sauce), well prepared, and made to order.

Tried them on a whim, establishment is about six months old.
Wide selection of house and guest taps. The house beers I tried were excellent and want to come back to check out more. Food was good overall. Fries with my meal were cold but I attribute that to a large group (tour bus) arriving shortly before I did. Service was excellent. I appreciated the re-use of a former church into something I`m more apt to frequent.
Overall, I left with a good impression of the place and will come back in a few months to see if any issues I may have had have been resolved.

My new favorite place! Located in a renovated church, this brewery and restaurant is reminiscent of a German beer hall. The beers are outstanding, the food is great; one could not ask for a better location to enjoy a malty beverage. And the community/town square location has a lot to offer the out-of-town traveler.
