Off the beaten path for a great hazy IPA of guava? Yes, it's here. The service is friendly and welcoming. They are playing old VHS tapes, Temple of Doom today. Beers 1-7 are their flagship set of beers, which are good. 8-16 were dealer's choice and I really enjoyed a few in here. Most notably, the Floor is Guava. It was hazy, strong abs had a significant but not overpowering flavor of guava. I also enjoyed the farmhouse saison, well done. The Black IPA was good, but not personal choice, a bit too close to a stout. The last 3 beers belong to a amicable competitor who is contract brewing here as they reestablish their presence. Come and enjoy a friendly brew.

Finding the brewery was very easy and there was plenty of room to move through the parking lot. (I had a camper in tow). The hosts (bartender and waitress on duty) were super friendly. The beer was good and if you are hungry there is a food truck (Def Burger) on site. For my Harvest Host user crowd: The brewery unfortunately closed at 5pm the day we came so we didn’t get to see this place in full swing due to us getting there after 3. After we explored the area (downtown super close by) we figured it was going to be quiet since the five o’clock closing, but when we got back I guess someone rented the space because there was a full blown social event/party with a DJ. The crowd itself was fine with the exception that some of its guests wanted to hang out in the parking lot directly behind our rig smoking and illuminating us with their headlights for few hours. The event ended around midnight. Be warned there is some sort of facility with heavy trucks behind the brewery and apparently they start early in the morning. Dispite the noise issues, it was still worth the stop.

Beer is ok but this place is perfect for concerts. Super intimate and great vibes.

Quality brewery! Had three beers while here; a hazy IPA, an American IPA, and a barrel-aged brown ale; everything was tasty for its style. Bartender was friendly and attentive during my visit. The place was filled with locals at the bar but the broader seating area left something to be desired. I’m not sure where you’d park if the main spots were filled up, but it’s definitely worth checking out. The place lacks pretension of any kind.
