Description
You can come get to know our beers and the people behind them at either of our two locations.

Our original brewery on Lincoln Avenue is home to our Brewery Shop, where you can sample or purchase to-go, and a Tap Room, where you can stay, get a bite to eat and get to know who we are and what we do. You can now also visit our new brewery, on Balmoral Avenue, where we have a beer garden in nice weather and a completely separate food program.

Both locations offer perennials Daisy Cutter, Bodem, Pony Pilsner and Tuna plus plenty of small batch beers released weekly.

Aromas are citrus, resin, sweat, and onion. Flavors are similar to nose with citrus coming out a bit more along with a hint of MJ. Good body and carbonation is perfect. Very nice beer.

Aromas are stone fruit, pineapple, citrus and a bit of resin. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet up front with a lingering easy bitter finish. Good body and carbonation. Nice beer.
