To be frank, we have a very low expectation of this place. All we heard was its a nano-brewery located in a storage space. We expected a very small sample of beers served in a stuffy closet. Wrong on both counts. They are actually located in industrial warehouse units and have a wide selection of brews. The brewery and bar are in connected units. There is a nice bar counter, adequate seating area, a patio section and a large garage door to expand capacity on nice days. Of course we had flights, lots of IPAs which seemed like their specialty. The stout & porter were both good. They had 2 sours which we didn't try straight but rather got to sample as a blend with their Orange St. Ale...which was actually enjoyable and we might try this at other establishments offering sours. Overall they had a very respectable lineup of beers. One beer we missed in our flight which was recommended later was Galactic Destroyer - NEIPA. Thankfully we still had time for a taste and agreed it was worthy of 2 growlers to share with others....our friends were very grateful we did. But what made this place truly great was the people - employees, ownership, the food cart guy and patrons. We meet some really cool people and had a fun chat over some yummy beers. Awesome way to spend your afternoon.
