Under Pressure Brewing

Located in a small business park with a shared parking lot in front with some extra parking in back. It has an unassuming entrance but the interior decorations are going for a midieval castle den vibe. It appears to be a venue also for folks who play the game Dungeons & Dragons. Beards. Lots of beards. Tall wooden chairs, square and round tables, no bar seating, a couple of pews & benches. Lighting is medium-low and it wasn't noisy. Service was fine. They have 26 to 28 beers on tap and specialize in blending. The blends are not available for samples or for flights. I got an 8 beer flight. Some of the beers are, IMHO, works in progress where others are good to go. A few of the beers have higher ABV % and drink very easily. I feel this brewery to have a nice touch with darker beers and I really enjoyed their English Porter. They also do seltzer blends. It's convenient for me and I will return to try more of their beers and also their blends. It's a good place and good for groups as well.

Suburban location in a light industrial multi tenant building. Not much natural light because of windows only at the front of the room. Medieval decor, with suits of iron. Library of books on one wall. Short bar. Dark finished furniture with tables of varying sizes. Brewing equipment is visible in the back. Twelve or more taps, with European styles featured. Competent service. Outdoor patio in the grass, located down the hall past the rest rooms. Seems under the radar and a place for locals and regulars.

 

 

Another business park brewery and taproom. This one has a different interior look however. They are going with a Medieval, old world theme. Classic rock playing over the speakers. A bar with about 10 seats with the brew house situated behind it. Plenty of seating elsewhere in the taproom and plenty of tables. Seating varies from antique looking furniture to church pews. A library lines a couple of walls. Also a shelf with board games. Plenty of different beers available but unfortunately many of them have an underlying familiar flavor. Nothing fundamentally wrong with them but not enough variation between them. Plenty of people working but it seems to take awhile for them to pour a beer. Option to get a 12oz or 16oz pour. I get the impression the beer geeks have not been too kind to them.

In a little strip of one story warehouse buildings, a decent sized space with lots of tables for four and eclecticfurnishings, including armored knights and some bookshelves. There are usually about two or three different aesthetics that most brewery tap rooms fall into, but this one’s different…kind of has an English style, though a kind of oddball LARPy one. They have a lot of beers on tap (27!), and I’m not sure that there is a ton of quality variety, but I’m still going to give them points for it. The beers I’ve had tend to be somewhere between not bad and solid. Nothing I tried really sings, by nothing was a miss either. Decent crowd (relaxed, mainly over 60, no hipsters, but people enjoying some good conversation) without feeling too busy, the few times I’ve been.
