Loose Screw Beer Co. - Downtown Brewery Taproom

Spruced up a bit with the new owners, and somehow seems a bit more vibrant. Usually 8 of their own taps, and tey're been putting out very decent beer lately. Food trucks are common at this location. There's a slo a sandwich shop next door, and two wine tasting rooms. Plenty to eat and drink.

Second location for Loose Screw, strip mall location near some restaurants, clean setup with lots of windows, high tables, fairly large bar seating, and a dozen or so taps as well as some guest taps and a cider. Servers are really friendly and this is a place that seems to be accepting of children and families, based on games and seating. FWIW.

Newish brewery in strip shopping plaza. Large high-ceilinged place kind of reminded me of a old fashioned soda fountain. Large P-shaped bar and plenty of tables about the room with a patio along the side of the building. A dozen beers on tap, the 2 I had were very nice. They are rewing someplace batches here, but more of their brewing is done in Garden City. Friendly, knowledgeable bartender. Great addition to the area.

new spot out in meridian, apparently they are or will be doing some brewing here, but it just looks like a little home brew setup for now, my guess is much of it is still being made in garden city, but technically this is classed as a brewery. its a neat space, already bustling on the weekend, just opened, packed like there is no pandemic, live music, dogs, kids, its pretty much chaos, but the space is nice, new, clean, and welcoming, with some couch areas on either side of the building, a bunch of packed in high tops, and the bar area right in the middle, some arcade games around, everyone relaxing doing their thing, high energy and loud when we were in, but i am glad they are doing well. i was impressed with the beer selection, some more ambitious stuff than when i last visited their garden city spot, and some guest taps to round out the list. definitley something for everyone, but i liked their hazy, a merlot barrel aged biere de garde, and a porter with blueberries and white chocolate. they have a good thing going here, and its nice to have a craft beer spot in this part of town, pretty barren before these guys moved in. definitely a good addition to meridian! i am sure we will be here often, hoping it mellows out some, but solid spot. the service was also exceptional despite the business!

edit: the address has been updated here, they still have the taproom further out in meridian, they closed down the garden city spot which is now yet another brewery, and built an absolutely gorgeous production space and taproom in downtown meridian that just opened in the fall of 2024. its a lovely space, a great new homebase for these guys, brand new feeling inside, beer hall vibes but cozy, outdoor space for better weather, a permanent food truck, lots of neat zones to chill in, shade out back, some more intimate seating areas, a long bar with real cozy stools, modern feeling, with a nice view into the brewery area. guest taps right now but i guess not for long, they have some horizontal lager tanks which is cool. i had a delicious english mild and was excited about their other beers for next time, this place is going to kill it in this area with so little else. good business decision, very comfortable space, they threw some cash at this and it shows, great hang, look forward to going back. this page used to be the listing for the mcmillan location, but has been updated as the new brewery, the garden city listing has been updated to the mcmillan address. updating scores to reflect the experience at the address below!

edit: the selection has really improved, i dont know if there were even any guest taps the last few times i was in, all their own stuff and some really cool selections and recipes, improving that score, this place is rad.
