Chill spot, good location, bar to the left as you enter, Dark wood, dimmer lights inside, large and pleasing outdoor patio for when the weather cooperates.
Variety of beer Style options on tap and in cans to go or stay.
Friendly staff and mostly street parking available. No food beyond bar snacks, feel free to bring food in. By the door area also has a merch area, including a good deal on some real spicy hot sauce. Worth a visit

Good location and nice atmosphere inside but the beer is downright horrible. The worst beer I've tasted from a brewery. Many styles were incorrect, processed syrup flavors, some with no flavors at all and a dish soap IPA. I waited 6 months after the bad ratings to see if they got better and they did not.

Very new so willing to give them more chances. Taproom was not very crowded and service was very slow, although the bartender was nice.,,,I think because they do a lot of flights and only had 1 person working.
Selection was very good for a new place; 10 taps or so, varying styles including fruit and sour beers.
Beer quality was hit or miss; the sour was not sour, brown ale was quite good. Nothing blew me away but I'll definitely be interested to see what they brew.
Another cool thing is they seem to be planning a lot of events and they have live music.
A cool spot and a great location; will give them a couple more chances for sure. If the beer quality is good this place will make a killing.
