Tulip City Brewstillery

The place is located on the fringe of town in a light industrial area (near the Heinz pickle factory) and occupies two bays of the large building. Adequate parking is at the front and side of the building. A patio has some outside seating. A food truck (Mexican) seems to be permanently parked. The larger bay has the bar and plenty of seating, and the other bay has dart boards and pool tables. The bar has seating and is located at the rear of the large bay. A projection TV was showing something on the wall behind the bar.

We sat at the bar to try their beers. There are 12 taps that had 11 beers and 1 cider available. It looked like half of the packed place (it was trivia night) was drinking beer and the other half was having cocktails or wine, all of which are made here. They don't offer sampler-sized servings, however, they will give you a 1-2 ounce taste before you choose a beer. The servers were trying to help me find a beer that I liked, so service was good. I had 6 tasters and still couldn't find a beer that I wanted to order, although I settled on the least bad beer to drink while my wife enjoyed her chocolate martini. (Maybe I should have tried the cider.) Beer, cider, wine and spirits are made here. Beer is likely not a priority for quality, based upon my experience.
