Went here with my wife midafternoon on a Saturday. We had three of their beers and couldn't refuse Cantillon Gueuze on tap to round it out. Bought a couple bottles. Got a tour and sort of a lecture from Ron Extract. Bottle selection is kind of amazing, and anyplace in the US that has Cantillon Gueuze on tap on a random day impresses the hell out of me. Their selection is great for someone that is into wild, funky, sour, and outside-the-box beers, but if you're looking for a straight up stout or IPA or whatever, this is the wrong place.

Vibe was good. Several people had dogs in there, one person had a cat. I think it's 21+, though so probably not a good place for your kids (or mine).

Their beers are not straight-up sour bombs, and they're also not funk bombs. They're interesting. Nothing I had of theirs blew me away, but they're good and interesting.

They're way out of the way, so it might be hard for me to justify going back, but I'll always be tempted.

Chill little tasting room at their fermentation space (they don't actually brew, buy wort from a nearby brewery). Seating for about 30 inside (even though their posted capacity is 49, it seems like that would very snug) with some outside seating as well. About6 of their own beers on tap with a similar number of guest taps.

A nice bottle selection as well. No food, except for snack-type stuff. Worth a stop if you're in the area.
