Modern micro breweries are so different from each other they are hard to form a generalized mental image of. Everything from just a handful of taps with a chalkboard listing to full on restaurant. Some with no food, some that serve something to eat as an afterthought, some that try but just don't have it down yet in the food department and some that could survive with the food and bottled beer. This place to me would be the latter but I am glad the also have the good beer. Mind you, I wasn't here when they were first getting the food idea going. My mental image of the place is the company picnic. There was a group of families with young kids in one area. Mom's were watching over their kids playing Jenga in another place, then there was a quiet group of 4 spot tables that mostly kept to themselves and then there was our group for a graduation party at a community high top that made mingling very comfortable. Oh, and they had a bar too. The only thing missing were the horse shoe pits. I had a couple of glasses of Pilsner which, to me, tasted true to it's origins. I wasn't feeling a burger and fries so I got the grilled cheese sandwich with a salad. Very good! I've heard the service isn't always good but that evening we had great service and when it came time for the party cake they brought out plates and forks and a cutting/serving tool for us. Definitely a place the West side is lucky to have.
