| - Me and a friend enjoyed a flight of the on site brewed beer while watching the owner clean the tanks, prepping them for the next batch. This place offers a really fun experience, the bar faces the brewery, and when they aren't too busy the owner and employees happily mingle with those of us not lucky enough to brew and sample beer for a living. If you want to eat, you will have to order in (they don't mind if you bring food in) although I think they occasionally have hot dogs, and they put out bowls of a pretzel sort of mix.
They offer several good beers, their light American Lager is probably the most refined tasting local brew I have had and would be super good on a hot summer day, although lacking in character for most occasions. My current favorite would have to be the Pumpkin Pooch: their seasonal Hefe with a very subtle pumpkin flavor. I plan to return when not on my motorized two wheeler and give the Barley Wine a go.
I currently have a couple beefs with Sleepy Dog: I think there is room for another brewery in town, so when one of your beers is compared to a "competitors" there's no need to get offended, especially if we like theirs too! Also, maybe it is my midwestern bias, but a real bar needs beer nuts.
