This place is fine. The beer tastes fine. The people are fine. The space is much more intimate and I am not loving the unpaved parking lot. I am of course falling into the trap of comparing this place to NoDa Brewery.
Beer: fine, but I prefer the other place. More selection at other place but somehow both have same amount of variety.
Noise: not oppressive at all, other place is way too loud.
Food: i just drink.
Size: plenty of space for the volume of patrons.
Location: more in the cut than other places, but far less confusing parking situation if using Google maps.
I think this brewery is worthy of a visit. 3 stars is a respectable rating.
