3rd stop of the evening. Was just about what I expected based on what I had read about the brewery.
I had their cream ale. It tasted more like an IPA from 30 years ago that I had sat the beer store for 9 months. I had about a third of my beer before I wandered out. The worst $8 beer I have ever had.
Possibly the highlight and it wasn't spectacular. Including staff, there were only 7 people in the brewery. Bicycling, possibly tour de France was on both monitors - saving moment: awesome crash at about 37mph.
The other 4-5 other people in the brewery: the owner, the bartender that helped me, and a lady that was trying to get a game of bingo going with the two willing participants. Next to the bartender I was the second youngest, possibly by 15 years. They had big sheets of plastic hanging from the ceiling in multiple places. I have no idea why.
About right on pricing based on the area for the beer.
Somewhat easy to get to. Just odd that they were surrounded by a huge fence.
The waitress/bartender told me the brewery is closing in about a month as the owner/brewer is selling the place and retiring. Selling to a pizza place that will not keep the brewery portion open. He wants to expand his pizza empire. That should tell you something about the brewery. I would never go back. Enjoy!
