Great place. We were passing by wasting some time before dinner plans and stopped in. I was driving so I nursed one beer which was a delicious nitro porter that grew on me more and more with each sip. Coworker had two different ipa's and a 3rd I don't remember but he a said they were all real good too. Wish I wasn't driving so I could have tried some others but anyway, well worth the stop.

We were lucky enough to hold our wedding reception at Back East Brewing this weekend and I cannot say enough good things about working with them. The space is beautiful, the beer is amazing, and Jaime and Maddie were great at communicating with us from the very first day we started planning the reception. All three bartenders that worked our event were friendly, easygoing and really helpful.
