I've been frequenting this brewery since they opened. Has an industrial-esc type of vibe , open ceiling and such. There is a patio and in the warmer months they open the bay door so it in actuality becomes an extension of the taproom. About 8 tables as well as some sofa seating. The other half of the taproom has some fake turf on it with various games laid out. There also is a large projector screen to show movies/shows/sports and they also have live music. The bathrooms and the general area they're in may be the best at any US brewery I've been to. Individual bathrooms with various hygiene products in each with two large sofas in the waiting area. It's a very European vibe.
Beer quality and selection is always on point with a rather true-to-style type approach reminiscent of Matthew Steinberg level quality. They've gone from starting with 4 or 5 beers on tap to now 10-12. On top of that it's not just all of the same style; the selection tries to appeal to everyone as opposed to over loading on the current trend/craze. They also offer nitro cold brew and nitro Earl Grey tea (which is really unique and worth the try) as well as various methods of hot coffee. They have also started offering kombucha and on the weekend make shandys with their beer and fresh squeezed juices. While they don't offer food-food Crust Bake Shop provides cider donuts and scones and they also have very large 'pub pretzels' served with mustard or cheese and bags of chips for snacking. I believe weekly or such someone comes in and does a 'pop up' with actual food. They also host trivia nights. Beer is available to go in crowler form, filled to order, and you can also get coffee or tea to go.
The staff has always been super friendly and knowledgeable, made even moreso by the fact that the head brewer is also occasionally behind the bar. I've had them offer to make me a fresh cup of coffee early afternoon as it had been sitting in the container since opening just so I could enjoy the bean to the fullest. They also grind the coffee as needed.
The long of the short of it is this place is worth checking out.

Neat place, new age industrial setting. Clean tiled walls, painted pillars, hung lights, many exposed pipes, aged wood, fake grass on parts of the floor, games to play, etc. Bathrooms are really nice too.
Great servers, very friendly and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to go the extra mile.
4-5 beers on tap (for now), pottery good quality, fairly true to style, also great coffee and tea options. No food.
