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 nice blend of malt, citrus, caramel, resin. Flavors are similar to nose but more of everything. Good body and carbonation. Bittersweet. Caramel stands out in the finish.

Aromas are malt, white wine, sweat and a bit of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose and bittersweet. Body is a bit full and carbonation a touch light for a pilsner. Pretty good overall though.

Aromas are stone fruit, malt, melon, white wine. Flavors are similar to nose with very good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Add in some MJ. Okay body. Nice beer.
