Stopped into the taproom mid-day. Full pours only here. Apparently the associated restaurant (Frisco), offers flights and has a deeper taplist. Overall vibe is sports bar, food available. Singles available to go.

This is the brewery and taproom side of the Frisco establishment.
We sat at the bar, but there are lots of seating options, tables and high-tops.
Six large television screens over the bar, and what appeared to be about a 12-15 foot diagonal screen at the far end of the taproom where the stage was. Very popular when a local team’s game is on, or when they have a band I’m sure.
Also some sofa seating over by the pool table.
There are 20 taps, although just 14 beers on the tap list when we were there. There were some other current and past house-beers available in the beer-fridge as well.
All of the beer we had was enjoyable and done very well. The bar is full service with wine and mixed drink options as well.
We ordered some food, the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Roll appetizer was delicious, as well as the Cuban Sandwich we had.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended.
