Trail's End Brewing

Stopped in for some food and a flight. First time visiting. Not overcrowded, but bustling, quite a range of clientele from old couple to young families and beer travelers like myself. Kind of a rustic interior despite its location in a commercial strip of US-95. Kind of an outdoorsy vibe. Service was great, I was at a table, i didn't see a bar and I think there was a deck out back, as well as a second level of seating. Food and beer hit the spot.

Stopped in because were looking for a brewery or taphouse along the main highway coming from Silverwood. Didn't look like much from the highway but when got in, it was quite large. Light wood on the walls and plenty of seating. Had food but don't remember what it was but it was good. The bartender after talking to him for about 20 minutes found out he was also the owner. He asked me if I would try something and of course I said I would. He went to the taps and poured something for me that was delicious. Turns out it was their chocolate stout with a splash of their own brewed Root Beer. Very cozy feeling place. Definitely would go back. Was there 4 or 5 years ago.

Lively brewpub in a shopping plaza on the major north/ south highway north of the interstate. Straight bar perpendicular to the entrance on the left seats about a dozen, with tables about the room and on the sidewalk out front... possibly some seating upstairs. 20 beers on tap, impressive variety. Friendly,professional bartender. Chicken wings were excellent, but pricey.

this place is awesome, super neat little operation, never on my radar before we hit them up kind of randomly on our trip up north, i came away very impressed and eager to go back. doesnt look like much from the outside but its a nice space inside, cozy, bustling, non generic. they have an open kitchen with a pizza oven, and the smells were awesome, but they were shutting down the food when we rolled up, a little later in the evening, will have some pie next time for sure. the space has a sort of woodsy cabin vibe to it while also being modern. the lighting is mellow, there is cool art in here, and the brew house is tucked around the back of the bar there. small but not that small, they even have a little upstairs lofted seating, good energy for sure. we got bar seats and were warmly greeted by the tender, as well as an owner, and got to drink through much of their lineup. i was amazed how many beers they had working, at least ten on tap, wide ranging too. we were impressed with the german ones, the schwarzbier, a weizenbock, an altbier, and especially a german pils. i was a little less impressed with their hoppy stuff, although the new zealand pils was delicious. most of their stuff was well planned and executed, highly refined, and true to style, without gimmicks or short cuts, very enjoyable beers pretty much across the board. cool they have so much diversity happening. the folks were awesome here, great to chat with, they shared copious samples, and even showed us the brewery real quick. definitely need to make time for pizza next time, but this will be on the list as often as i go back up this way, really great little under the radar spot, beers way ahead of the curve!
