This is a cool space. It is right next to their production facility so you can get an idea of the scale of their operation. When we arrived it was toward the end of the evening. They had live music that was wrapping up. We ordered and sat in the bar area rather than going to the serviced seating. My husband ordered their Hazy IPA and a BLT. I was the DD so I had water and a Shrimp Po' Boy. Their beers are solid and well regarded. I was not as big a fan of the food. The Po' Boy was constructed in a way that made it hard to eat as a sandwich. The bread was really thick. the shrimp and sauce were tasty. They also brought our food with no utensils. My husband's BLT was not his fav either. I know places try to set themselves apart by doing a fancy treatment to bacon. It was maple chili and brown sugar roasted bacon. The bacon flavor was lost with all the sweet. Go for the beers, event space and entertainment for sure. I think I would need to try something else on the menu rather than what we had.

In my opinion, the beer is average, but I really enjoy coming here. The food is good. The ambience is good. And it's overall good time. And since henhouse across the street, doesn't make their beer anymore. I'd rather go to Lagunitas any day.

I love this place and the people. (Of course, I love the beer!) I went there on a Sunday with three others to have a bite and a beer. They had a band, Nick Otis and they were great! We ordered the garlic fries and a pitcher of A Little Sumpin' Sumpin. Someone else in the group ordered a spicy fried chicken sando. They liked the chicken but thought there was too much bread. The fries were great and garlicky and cooked perfectly. The beer was a great complement to the fries. It was a cool day but the venue was mostly enclosed and the heaters kicked on just before we left. The temperature was great the entire time.

We went here after visiting a tree farm. There's plenty of space and seating, mostly communal. We arrived around 3 p.m., just as they were setting up for live music. The other side has a grassy area perfect for dogs or kids, though I wish there were more tables to sit on and toys to keep the little ones entertained. The vegetarian options were limited, so I opted for the pretzels and cauliflower dish, both of which were quite good. I especially enjoyed the Hazy IPA, which is apparently only available there. I'd definitely go back.

It took us a very long time to get served but at least it was comfortable with heat lamps. I think that the brussel sprouts they used to have on the menu is better than the curried cauliflower but it was pretty good too. I was with a big group and we probably ordered almost everything on the menu. Pretzel bites, Shrimp Po Boy, Mac and cheese, garlic and regular fries, chicken tenders, etc. I really want to come back when they have live music!

Making Pour Decisions What started out as a home-brewing operation back in 1993 has turned into one of the largest beer brands, perhaps even rivaling some of the big boys. Thanks to a partnership (i.e., bought out) with Heineken they've opened up breweries all over the world to bring their brews to every corner. They're largely credited with the revival of IPAs in the United States, and they're now even producing cannabis-infused beverages to the market. As a self-annointed Hopheads and IPA fanatics, it was well past time for us to visit the Mecca of IPA and grab a bite or two. The Good: *Service by Brandi was amazing! We felt like we'd seen her somewhere before but maybe she just has that aura about her. *Large private lot *Brewery Tours available #NextTimeGadget *Huge outdoor dog-friendly seating area *Giant selection of beers and lots of brews you'll only exclusively find there. *Food and beer prices are very reasonable *Cheese curds were fun and extra cheesy, but a little one-note in terms of flavor. Maybe add a few extra dipping sauces to liven it up? *Garlic fries were well-worth the $3 upgrade *My son loved his fried chicken sandwich and he's pretty picky. *Eponymous Lagunitas Burger was a damn, fine burger. Good amount of grease and nice, quality toppings. The Meh: *While the food was good, the menu itself is a little boring and predictable for a brewpub. It would be nice to see a little something extra, but I also get the simplicity. *Music is a little raucous for our tastes. Maybe just crank it down just a touch so you can actually converse with someone two-feet away without having to yell. Yeah, I'm old. Fuck off. The Ugly: *Their gluten-free bun was just plain awful. If you *need* gluten-free maybe it's best to get the burger/chicken protein-stprotein-style with a lettuce-wrap. Cuz that bun is not the one. 1/10 Conclusion: Beer good.

This taproom is awesome. Great food, big portions, great beer selection including limited releases like seltzer or sours. Garlic fries are an elite side they offer and the chicken tenders were juicy and lightly breaded. Been here a couple times now and will always stop by if I am in the area. Service is friendly, quick, and the inside vibes are lively, medium noise. Lots of locals come in it seems. Good to-go selections too!
