Freestanding red barn-like building on a little rise overlooking the main drag. Spacious open interior with L-shaped bar on the back left hand wall seats about 15 with some tables about the room. 10 beers on tap. Friendly bartender. Fish and chips were awesome.

Their food is the draw! You need to look at their Facebook page to see what's going on, but they have a full kitchen....
Read the review from 10/8/24....I think it's spot on. We are visiting the summer after this review, there are 8 bets on tap. Two ipas, a triple belgium, Scotch Wee, cucumber pale ale, etc.
The view is AWESOME!
Very spacious. Plenty of outside seating. Large indoor area.

Revisit 2026:
They have more of their beer on tap. The offerings were miss and hit, with some interesting takes on styles (like a 7% Helles). Service speed was spotty, but that was more a staffing issue than the efforts of the bartender, who was quite friendly. The food, which we delved into a bit more, was definitely a plus for this visit.
Up a slight hill just off the main road through Accident, this barn-like brewery, bar, and eatery share a building with a bike shop. Inside is wide open and tables are sparsely laid throughout. A 8-10 seat bar is in one corner and the kitchen is across the space on the opposite side. The place has the space to host musical acts, which their social media indicates they do..
Note here their website isn’t really helpful, though they have a Facebook page they keep pretty up to date than the website. From what I read, they just opened within the last few months (early summer).
Being newly opened might explain why they only had four of their own beers on tap (of a total of 8 handles, maybe 10). In lieu of a full set of their own beers, they did have some other nearby / local offerings and even one tap for Zombie Dust. So the selection wasn’t broad, but they spread styles well within their four beers - a Hefe, Märzen, IPA, and stout. I was fairly impressed with all of them, none had flaws or had me questioning their style.
The service was solid, but could have been less business-like and more homey and welcoming. The quick appetizer we got was a little cold, but still tasted good (some locals we talked to mentioned they quite enjoyed the food at the brewery). We plan on going back, and I’ll update this review if the slightly off aspects are attributed to being new and things improve as they gain their footing.
