Springfield Beer Company

 

Stopped in here over Memorial Day weekend. Small space wedged next to a Freddy’s Hamburgers, it felt like a fast food place as a result. Patio tables outside. Inside it’s more of a standard modern warehouse space, the brewery is visible in back, with ample seating up front, and a shelf of games and flatscreens to entertain.

10 or so beers available, several guest ciders. Bohemian Pils and Coffee Blonde were the highlights. A Hurricane smoothie "pastry sour" was the lowlight, it was a murky opaque brown with a gritty film in the glass. Looked more like sewage than beer, pretty disgusting. Quality across the board was a little uneven, would be nice to see some finely tuned core beers.

Service was great, the bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, offering samples before buying.

Overall it was decent, definitely a step up from Engrained or Obed's. Although our group preferred a couple other breweries in the area over this one. Anvil & Forge downtown, and the hometown brewery in Petersburg, Hand of Fate.
