Halpatter Brewing Company

Cool old government building that has seen many different uses over the years. Short straight bar opposite the entrance seats about 8 with some tables about the room, additional bar down stairs. 13 beers on tap, 5 house, 8 guest. Friendly bartender. I did not try the food.

Awesome microbrewery with very good beers. The bartenders were friendly, responsive and knowledgeable of the brewery and its beers; one gave me an impromptu tour of the building, providing local and brewery history. All the beers I sampled were quite good, the IPA and Doppelbock were outstanding. Large space, dog friendly, outdoor yard with stage for live music…but go for the beer, a rare home run in a country awash in below average microbreweries.

 

 

Cool place. Interesting downtown location and the old municipal building where it is located has a lot more hidden nooks and crannies than the average warehouse brewery.

Beers were all solid to very good. Didn’t have any food so can’t comment.

Overall a very refreshing change of pace from 90% of microbreweries out there and they appear to be churning out some solid beer to boot.

Visited late Friday afternoon.
Plenty of seating, including two bars and some outdoor seating. Friendly and speedy service.
About 10 Halpatter beers on tap along with 2 HP ciders and a couple of other guest taps. The tap lists were almost identical upstairs and downstairs. Beer available in flights of 4, regular (variable size) pours, bomber bottles (3 choices, including 2 not otherwise available on premises) or growlers.
Cool renovation adds to the atmosphere.
Did not try the food.

Neat place. Had an Old School and a Fully Involved. Both were good beers. For food we had a big boy lunchable kind of thing. The bacon was right on point. The place is an old government building of some kind. Tasting up stairs, downstairs, inside, outside. Pretty cool.
