Great, friendly place! Had a flight of unique beers and took advantage of whiskey Wednesday! Adam behind the bar was super welcoming and knowledgeable!

An unexpected, amazing find on the park. Get your locally crafted beer to go if you please. I’ve tried four different beers so far and all have been really good. So far the 40 East is my favorite. This place is definitely worth checking out if you like excellent beer. They have a large selection for a micro-brewery including sour and specialty beers. Love this place!

Update: I've tried a few more and all are exceptional. These guys aren't just making beer; it's obvious they are lovingly crafting it. -
Chill and eclectic inside, this is a nice place to grab a beer and snack. Ash was very friendly and a quick server. I ordered the Double Opacity, it was tasty. They have lots of themed nights and events, will have to come back and check some of them out

Visiting from out of town and music trivia with Ash is SO FUN! Amazing company, amazing tunes and amazing staff. Can’t wait to visit again ❤️

Zach is a gem. He disproved a beer hypothesis of mine in front of me, and I'm grateful to have learned something. Excellent vibes; the fig in the corner could use some TLC.
