    Those of you who have visited, what are your thoughts? I was pretty impressed with the selection they had.

    haven't been there but my wife has gone a couple times to get wine. I had her get me a growler of their imperial ipa called "the kush", it was alright, not that great though.

    agreed, a slightly above average IPA. They had a few takes on some belgian varieties though that were really enjoyable. The imperial brown ale was also very good, IMO.

    Knights Brown is great. They are currently aging some in whiskey barrels.
    Pike 51 rules. The atmosphere in there is pretty whack for the decor is an extension of the Winery, but their beer is marvelous. They need to cut off their ties with the winery and fly solo. They reached their goal of having 16 beers on tap. Keen on belgian styles. They have a Black Saison which rocks my world. The Kush IPA is whatever, they have much better beers on tap.

    I went and I had an excellent experience. Owner, staff, bartender all very friendly and knowledgeable. Clean brewhouse. Good beers.
