Giesenbräu Bier Co.

Tucked away behind a hardware store. Sheet metal construction building. Paved parking lot on two sides of the building. Interior has a higher ceiling with ductwork showing and draped sound dampening material, beige painted walls and wood panels, and a concrete floor. Windowed garage door opens to an uncovered patio with hanging string lights and an assortment of tables. Inside is a straight bar with back support stools and ordering station. Other seating at wood topped tables with benches. Four TVs, one with the brew menu. Twelve taps with a standard selection of styles. Cooler has cans to go. Friendly and efficient staff. Rather unadorned and plain for appearance. Can get loud with crowd noise. Low volume sound system.

 

Great beer and good prices

 

 

Located off of Hwy 19 but only a very small sign and easily missed by a passer by. Located next to a hotel and behind a hardware store. Not a whole lot going on outside or inside. A typical commercial space converted to a brewery/taproom. Large bar and a lot of seating at tables. Several restrooms. I was expecting a heavy Czech/German beer focus but only 2 of the 12+ beers available were German style, the rest the customary American styles. Talking with the brewery it sounds like they will expand the European choices over time. At least they did not have a peanut butter porter or NE IPA. The Helles was a nice clean lager but the hefe was bit of a disappointment compared to Schell's or Utepils versions.
