A nice local brewery, beer variety is decent, new brews are introduced periodically. 1623 seltzers, local wine, mixed drinks are now available for those in your group not wanting beer.
Local live music talent on occasion. And they’ve transitioned from food trucks back to on-site food preparation, run by a local restaurant.
Both indoor and outdoor seating are available.

This is our community brewery and a wonderful place to go throw back a pint. They feature their beers with just enough of an alternative selection (sodas, hard seltzers, etc.) to keep the non-beer drinkers happy. 1623 beers are wonderful. Very well made and, while the selection isn't always massive (in numbers), there's usually a wide enough range for all tastes. It's fun to look through the massive glass wall between the dining room (with a massive round bar and loads of high tables) and into the brewery itself. Food is typically truck-style (no in-house kitchen that I'm aware of). Pricey, but usually pretty good. The beers can seem pricey, but as I've seen posted here before, craft brewery prices are up anyway. Frankly, it's good that there's sufficient demand for craft beer to drive that economy. Very friendly, laid-back place with a lot of room inside. That in itself is a real plus!

Visited on a Saturday early afternoon with my wife and two toddlers. Huge indoor space with a variety of tables, high-tops, easy chairs, couches, and a dining room set. All arranged and decorated with impeccable taste into several distinct areas. Large bar area as well. It wasn't very busy while we were there, but it is clear that they could handle a large volume of guests without overcrowding or crazy noise levels. Speaking of noise, the music was kept at a moderate volume as well. The brewery staff was friendly and helpful. Overall the best ambiance I've experienced at a brewery. Cozy but spacious, inviting and welcoming yet offering some privacy.

The beer itself was interesting, mostly pretty good, and fairly priced with flights of 4x5oz pours for $10. (I would have thought this overpriced pre-COVID, but these days it's almost unheard of.) All in all, it's a 50 minute drive but definitely one we'll make again.
