Did you know that it's the 30th anniversary year of Big Rock Brewery this year? Big Rock was definitely the pioneer of craft beers around here!
The first time I visited Big Rock was for a friend's b-day party. As I walked up to the restaurant I was thinking, "This is so cool!" - and it was! I mean, who doesn't want to have a celebration at a craft brewery?! It's located on a big area just off 52 Street S.E.
We were served appetizers and craft beer on tap. It was a casual, yet unique space to gather friends and family together. I liked that it was perfectly okay to sample the beers until you found that one you really liked. There is and indoor and an outdoor space.
The next time I visited I went on a brewery tour with a small group. It's always a good time for a brewery tour! You wouldn't believe the big vats the beer is made in...seeing beer in the process of getting made on such a large scale kinda makes you feel giddy! Then after the tour you get to sit down and enjoy a glass of the cold stuff...sort of a dream situation
One other point, there is a retail store onsite where you can buy beer and unique beer related gifts. Me and the others on my tour thought the leather six-pack holder that can be attached to a bicycle was the perfect bike accessory! ...Now I can drive hands free ;)
