Hopping on a Wednesday night this place has too little parking for sure. Long bar, plus a bunch of long picnic tables. Fairly spacious actually. Outdoor patio. Kitchen and brewing equipment on full display. Prompt service, good prices. A cool old school flippy sign over the bar that periodically changes messages. Neat touch. 16 taps, interesting range of styles. I am two tasters in so far, but both are above average. The Hef was actually grate.
