Visited on a Sunday afternoon. Wasn't crowded. Lots of tables and a good size bar. Nice outdoor area. Limited beer selection since it is mainly a distillery. Tried two of the five selections. Friendly staff.

EDIT: This brewery now has a kitchen.
********************************
This distillery/winery/brewery just recently opened, so my wife and I stopped to check it out. The brewery shares a building with a pizza place, and although there is a sign and door at the front, the entrance and parking is at the rear of the building next to the beer garden. The interior is large and has bar and table seating, but the beer garden was more enticing that day, so we sat at a table with an umbrella out there. The bartender told us menus were on the tables and she took our order and served us there.
This place may be focused more on the spirits and wine so that there are only four beers on tap, so I ordered a sampler flight (plus a shot of the whiskey to try it) and my wife ordered the cherry wine. The Pecos Bill Wheat Ale and the Louisville Slugger Kentucky Common were brewed very well to style, but the Monkalicious Belgian Dubbel and the Crow's Foot BBA Imperial Stout were lacking. Specific comments are with my reviews. (My Quality rating above is just for the beer.) [The whiskey was clear (might as well call it moonshine) although I thought it was a bit thick on my tongue, and the alcohol was biting until I mixed it with a little bit of water. The cherry wine was tasty, but probably just an average category.]
No food is served here and we didn't ask about snacks, although the pizza place is at the front of the building and menus of other nearby restaurants are available at the bar. Food trucks are occasionally scheduled, and so are live music entertainers. This looks like a fun place if you like options for different forms of alcohol. Hopefully the newness of producing the alcoholic products will cause them to improve with time.
