A surprise find for us. Big open room with a lot of long picnic tables. We had our grand daughter with us and the "Kid Zone" kept her busy until the food came and after so we could enjoy another beer. Food was basically Pizza and paninis and salads. A good variety of beers.

02-07-25 Here's a bit of an update. The food menu has expanded since I last visited for food. My wife and I both had mashed potato bowls, and they are tasty! A few other items have also been added to the menu so that it has better variety now. I noted some beers are available to-go in cans. It looks like the miniature golf course is completed and open in warmer weather.

My visit was the day of the grand opening of this brewery. There is ample parking at the front and side of the building. The bar, which has seating for around 15 people, is just inside the door. The rest of the open space has several picnic-style tables plus 8-10 tables with chairs. A corner setting has a couple sofas. I didn't see any TVs, which is okay with me. The vibe is nice for a brewpub.
We sat at the bar to try the beers and have lunch. The bartenders were friendly. There are 12 taps, but only 6 beers were available. Two other taps had collaboration beer releases for later that afternoon at specific times, plus one tap had a cider. We ordered a sampler flight of the 6 available beers. Each was brewed very well to style, and we gave an overall score of 3.92 to them. Very well done for a new brewery!
Our food was very good too. The menu is a typical listing of pub items, and we enjoyed what we ordered. There were crowlers for beer to go, but I didn't note growlers and didn't ask. It was a very good start for a new brewery, and I'll go back again.
Additional note: if you are a military veteran, the brewery has a free beer for you. A number of tags are hanging on the wall just inside the door, so grab one and present it to your server for a free beer. Patrons are given the opportunity to contribute money for replacement tags to be added to their tab, so hopefully there will always be tags hanging on that wall.
