| - This is one of my all time favorite brewery's to go to. It doesn't look like much from the outside but when you walk inside it feels like you are in a wood cabin. I really like the atmosphere there and there are always cool people there.
They normally have about 30 beers on tap and they don't wait a single tap on Miller lite, Bud lite, or anything else like that. If they don't have what you like on tap, then just turn around from the bar and check out their coolers. Behind the glass doors of their coolers they have well over 100 beers you can pick from. You pick the bottle you want, and you can drink it there, or take it home with you. AWESOME!!!
I stuck with the beers on tap and had to begin the night with their classic Orange Blossom which is brewed there and tastes like a melted orange creamsicle with vanilla and beer. Trust me it is good, but it is hard to drink more then one because it is a sweet beer.
Being a dark beer guy I wanted to try a new dark beer and thankfully I was steered away from the Donnybrook made by Victory in PA. I did try a small sample of it and it was like a thin watery version of a Guinness.
The Black Xantus made by Humboldt Brewing in CA came highly recommended, and was FANTASTIC! It is a barrel aged imperial stout that comes in a goblet and has just become one of my favorite stouts I have ever had.
Then to stick with the theme of trying new things I had a Red's Rye which is a Rye IPA made by Founders in Grand Rapids MI. I was actually very impressed with this IPA. I normally do not enjoy IPA's, but I would drink this again any day.
Overall experience here was 5 stars! Everything I drank was right on the money, and the good people there kept me away from the few lack luster beers they had. This place makes you feel at home, welcome and comfortable.
Oh yea, they do have food which looked good too, but it's hard to find time to eat with all that top rate beer there.
