Delicious brunch food that was played well! The Ciders were unique and the best Ciders I have ever tasted. Service was amazing-so kind and attentive, thank you Dori. Definitely returning.

Stopped by for a beer with the wife. Great selection of craft draft beers and some bottled beers for those who want to take beer home. Nice outdoor seating area, and they are doing food paring events often. Enjoyed the kettle corn popcorn and friendly patrons at the counter. The beer tender was nice and helpful.

The beer was great, but the bartender was a bit short and seemed annoyed to be there or answer questions. It may have just been an off night, so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, but overall the environment didn’t feel very welcoming. I was there for a special event and enjoyed the drink, but based on the service, I’m not sure I’d rush to come back.

Not a bad little brewery. My wife and i stopped in on Veterans Day. She really enjoyed the raspberry sour, and I had a glass of RiNo Standard. It wasn’t bad, I would have like to have seen an amber on the menu, but that’s also my favs. Clean and new feeling with a very modern pub ambiance. You can just sit with a friend over beers and a card game, or bring the laptop and get some work done.
