Cannot get enough of the monthly burgers. Excellent food, very good ales especially the Wild Turkey bourbon aged one. Make sure to take a bottle home for the pantry. Excellent place to just unwind after work. Blood of Eden ale is next level delicious, and the Big Texas burger of the month, challenge yourself and go double with this beast of a sandwich.

First time in and new comers to the area. The staff was great and on top of everything. No wait for drinks or service. My wife and I were very impressed with the local beer choices and the food was absolutely amazing. This place is definitely worth giving a chance and when you do you wont be disappointed. We will be back again.

Great local brewery! Small, with a cozy atmosphere, and live music and trivia several nights a week. Food is fresh and delicious and a good price, and a good selection of beers, especially for how small it is. Come for a quality dinner with friends, and stay for the trivia and music great little local place!
