Was in town for work so I decided to stop in since this was one of only a few breweries in the area I could find that were open on a Tuesday night. Incredibly friendly staff and a great group of regulars. Oh, and great beer, too. Its also cool that they brew a charity beer for mental health and suicide awareness.

What a fun place! Party atmosphere with live music and a lively crowd. Great bartender and even better beer. I like that they had a selection of different styles. Had a food truck on site also. Will be back.

Came in for our first time and sat at the bar with David. He was amazing!!! He was so much fun and very knowledgeable about the beers. He kept us laughing and our glasses full. The beers are great and all very different. The vibe and atmosphere is very chill. David brought our dog treats and snacks. I highly recommend stopping in here for a great beer and snacks.I actually became a beer club member the first time I was here bc it's so good!

First time coming here, had the Bohemia Blonde. Beer was hands down the best Ive ever had. Food truck outside was delicious, cheap little pizzas inside (small but tasty). Will be back for sure.

I absolutely loved the beer. I tried a flight and I can't say I didn't like them all. The overall place is small but very accompanying whether you want to sit at the bar area at a high top table or in the side room. I went to watch the Islanders game and they were more than happy to put it on. I can't wait to go back for trivia night!
