    Saw this during my work day. Just wanted to pass on the find, maybe they are good, maybe not...

    But it's local, on the island, and surely worth a try. They don't have a website yet, just the FB page.

    I went a bout a month ago. They had 3 beers on tap. Their Amber, their Amber dry-hopped with Amarillo, and a beer called Citra-Mellow. I ended up getting a growler fill of the Citra-Mellow. It was a really tasty beer. The amber was a nice beer as well. It's a nice tap room. They seem to have a lot of live music. Prices were good. I definitely recommend it if you find yourself on the island. I'll definitely be back since I'm on the island quite a bit.

    A buddy brought back a few growlers for me a couple of months ago and they were good. One was a Porter and the other an IPA. Both were pretty standard but very enjoyable. I'd get more of their stuff if and when I make it back there.

    yeah buddy! been working like crazy!

    taproom is open 7 days a week.
    first kegs, to bars, go out friday.

    other than that just working on our standard lineup and experimenting on smaller scale stuff
    like our imperial stout. did a rauch blonde last week. a couple of unique belgians.

    our citra pale ale has been a huge hit so that will see limited distribution.

    hit me up if you have any questions!

    Citra Mellow? I thought that a great beer. My growler didn't last very long.

    Then you obviously have not read this thread. That's why I started the discussion, you silly goose.

    We have their Tiki Wheat on tap right now at Nobi. Great wheat beer. GIB is putting out some nice brews. That Citra Mellow is killer.

    I'm headed to Galveston with the family later this week and plan to stop by. Does anyone know if they fill growlers from other places?

    The Kolsh hybrid (can't remember if it had a name) that show brought last month to the Gman was really good. Pretty much spot on for the style with some American hop kick. The Swanson Stout that he brought this week was great. I need to make a short road trip down there when I get a chance.
