“Cool place... in town for work and dropped by to check it out. Lots of drink choices and a great atmosphere. I had the Bear Creek Brown from 3rd Planet.... yum! If you haven't... swing by and give this place a try!”
— John Sones“Great spot for an excellent Craft beer, that you won’t be finding elsewhere. Tons of selection and choices, and new stuff to try all the time. The owners are awesome and knowledgeable, people are friendly, the banter is always fun, and you can bring your own food or order in from anywhere that delivers.”
— Shawn Leatherman“This place is a must try. I am visiting the area for two weeks, and this was by far my favorite stop for beer. They have a really cool business model where you can pick anything from the cooler to consume in house or take to go. The owners are spectacular, one is a veteran. They took good care of me. I'll be back before I leave!”
— C C“Tried out this place last weekend and loved it! 12 beers on tap and a wall of canned & bottled beer to take away or drink in house. All the patrons were locals and were really awesome. The owner even came and chatted with us... he was a really cool & down to earth dude. I will definitely be back!”
