this place recently took over the daniel marks brewery spot in cheyenne, a place i liked a lot and was sad to see go, but it was nice to see the vibe remains in tact, even under this new name and operation. its just a rad old house converted into a taproom with a great outside space, perfect hangout for this time of year. i was impressed with the draft lineup already, at least ten beers flowing, seems like they have been hard at work in the brew house. i had two here, a clean saison that was extremely generic and high toned on the ferment, and a new hefe that was just dropping that i liked a little better, but was also on the safe and familiar side. i am sure more ambitious beers will follow, perhaps still getting their bearings, but neither was particularly great. good energy in here though, bartender was friendly and stoked, and i just love the place, so well worth a visit even in their early stages. seems like they are keeping the space largely the same, which i reckon is a good thing. fair prices for sure, lots to chose from, good little scene building here in cheyenne...
