Nice little brewery spot with a good selection of beers. I had an excellent American pale ale and my friends tried a stout and a blonde beer. Good place to watch sports and hang out. Only drawback is they do not serve food. You can order from a Mexican place next door but it would be great if the brewery offered some simple bar food options. Overall, I liked this spot and would definitely come back.

They brew a great variety of beers - from pilsners to DIPA to sours to red ales. Very friendly bartenders always happy to give you a sample. Large space easy to get a seat. No kitchen but you can bring your own food and there are food trucks parked on weekends. Dog friendly inside and out!

The space is really cool— so many huge gears. Even the beer sampler came on a gear tray. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the visit. Will go back.
