    Art and Tristan were behind the bar and phenomenal! Both very knowledgeable about the different brews. The regular fries came out hot and delicious. Highly recommended the Boat Shoes Hazy IPA and the Frank the Dank IPA. But on a sweeter note, the hard cherry cola is top notch. Highly recommend stopping in if you're a microbrewery fan. They have lots of options.

    We just happened to walk past here and saw there was a happy hour, so felt compelled to go in! The range and quality of beers was excellent and the $20 beer and burger deal was really good value; we expected smaller portions as it was a deal, but were very pleasantly surprised by the size! It was very quiet when we came in, so there was a lot of room.
