Set in a restored ice plant, the brewery draws water from its original artesian well and turns Mondays into a neighborhood ritual with the Grove Street Farmers Market—fresh produce, makers, and music all year.

Food trucks outside. 3 different venues for imbibing and eating: outside/open air, inside/open air or inside/air conditioned. All are great. Outside is best for the live music. Solid onsite brews, reasonably priced.

We had a lovely night hosting our Women in Tech and Entrepreneurship meetup at Cypress & Grove. The staff was friendly and helped us reserve some tables. I love that they have a beautiful garden and hand painted mural. Top notch Gainesville Brewery.

Hidden gem if your seeking free Well water ! Bring your own jugs to fill up :) Community posting board, nice pool tables and on Monday evenings the brewery hosts the Grove street Farmers Market !

Simple pub(?). Good beers, wine and equivalents, tables, air conditioning. Not really more beyond that. They have space for a food truck. If you're looking to sit and chat while drinking non-spirits, this is a pretty good place to go. Not sure what else there is to say.

Cypress & Grove Brewing Company is hands down one of the best spots in Gainesville. The atmosphere is fantastic — spacious, welcoming, and full of character. The beer selection is top-notch, with something for everyone, from crisp lagers to bold IPAs. What really makes Cypress & Grove stand out is the incredible team. Everyone there is welcoming, helpful, and clearly loves being part of the brewery. I have to highlight Rich. He’s one of the most genuine and kind people you’ll ever come across. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first visit, Rich makes you feel right at home with his friendly demeanor and great energy.

Very cool place!! Hubby was very pleased and impressed with their beer selections, especially the number of light beers they have! I had their kombucha, it was a little too sweet for my taste but good nonetheless. They only allow ADA Service Dog, which is what Amber is, so she was allowed to be on the grounds. Lots of seating! I mean soooo many!! They also have pool tables and other games. Looks like they will be expanding their bar pretty soon! They also had a food truck on site. The tap for the well is open for the public!

Absolutely stunning location, loads of seating (indoor and out), and some parking out front with lots of overflow just across the street. The beer selection is very broad, something for everyone with cider and wine offerings as well. The beer itself is really good. They don't serve food but very frequently have a great assortment of food trucks.

I asked my Gator buddy which was the best brewery in Gainesville and Cypress & Grove topped her list. So here we are. Seating inside, seating outside, seating in their brewery area. I found a seat inside (thank you, air conditioning) that was next to a power outlet where I could catch up on a few emails and write a few Yelp reviews while sipping a couple delicious beers. I also got dinner from the "food truck" that was here tonight making for a full meal. Nice vibe here from a friendly if overworked bartender who was needing a helper but doing his best. There were a few families with kids, one couple that looked to be on a date and a group of friends all chilling. All cool.

The Alachua Audubon Society had a guest speaker in their lecture room! ( I had no idea they had this) His name is Charlie Muise and he is an amazing bird conservationist. A birds and beer event could NOT be missed by me. There was much information to be learned and inspiration to volunteer, as well! Thank you C&G for such a meaningful presenter!

Great local brewery in what I think is a former ice house? Or an old warehouse of some kind. With the outdoor area and expansive indoor seating there is room for just about any kind of group or gathering. The building does not seem to be wheelchair accessible, which seems odd and should definitely be a consideration for anyone needing an accessible facility. The staff at the walk-up counter are knowledgeable and very helpful in helping you find what you're looking for. There weren't a lot of any one type of beer when I was there, but a pretty impressive array of sours, Hefeweizens, lagers, sessions etc to choose from. An easy place to spend the evening with friends and try several different things. Not far from campus or downtown, it's easy to get to. And situated on a quiet street, parking is really easy. It's convenient

One of the best brewery spaces in Ocala, with an ample grassy area with tables, some seating near the bar, and two additional rooms for seating, including one that can easily accommodate a private party (was one in there the second time I went). Beer is above average, which is on par for the top end of breweries in the area. I had beers across the board and all rated in the upper 3s on Untappd. No food, but they do get good food trucks on the grounds. Will return.

After being to over 100 breweries think this was the worst when came to most staff. Had a female bartender that we got our beer from after getting in line she was sweet! Sat at bar with 3 different employees right in front of me. None acknowledged me at all, I asked if had a beer menu. Sorry you need to read the board around the corner. Just not a fun friendly feeling. I love German beers and lived in Germany 3 years. The hef was lil boring I guess. Hate writing this review as just visited one not too far away from here. It was Super friendly! Guess that's why 3.8 rating Hoping they realize every customer even if not your buddy or a local is here for the experience!

Oh my goodness, this place is beautiful. They have a perfect balance of nature and building space. The architecture is beautiful. And they have a great layout. The beer is tasty and plentiful with many different styles. I am a fan of this place.

The worst!!! Beers are like home brewers first tries. The place is always hot as hell, it leaks anytime it rains, it's like a daycare center. Worst brewery in town

NO DISABLED ACCESS! While the beer is great the place clearly violates essentially every ADA accesibility building code. Not sure how the city passed on their opening with so many glaring violations - no accessible parking, no accessible bathrooms, no access to the gameroom. The bar has no lowered accessible levels which apply after the 2012 ADA standards -which apply given the date of opening. Only one accessible table at the brewery bar level inhe corner. Ironically all of their accessible tables are up in the gameroom which is not accessible. Pick and choose battles but this establishment somehow skirted all the ADA building codes when it opened. And btw there is no such thing as "grandfathering" exemption because the building is old.

Adorable brewery in a unique location. It appears to be an old warehouse with a modern look. The interior has a indoor/outdoor atmosphere with an area off to side that houses the Pool tables, Foosball table, and Ping Pong table in a large closed in room. We purchased a flight of beers, Mojito, Mandarin IPA, Blonde, Irish style red. I was not a fan of the Mojito beer, however the other beers were great. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the employees were informative as well as kind. My daughter attends UF, so we were looking for something different to visit in the area. I will definitely return in my future visit to Gainesville.

Visited Cypress & Grove Brewing Company on Saturday afternoon. Went with two Flights to try eight of the beers on the wall. Quality Cypress & Grove Brewing Company just felt boring to me. Each of their beers were fine, but in the golden age of beer innovation, creativity is key and I just did not see it. No funky names, no unique additives, and in the end nothing worth trying again. I ordered two Flights, the first with Pumpkin Ale, Dry Stout, Pecan Brown Ale, and 2x2 IPA and the second with American Wheat Ale, Hefeweizen, American Golden Ale, and Porter. My favorite was probably the American Wheat Ale, which balanced fruitiness and bitterness well. The Pecan Brown Ale was interesting as well, but in the end fell too much on the sweet side to be enjoyable in a larger pour. The rest were unremarkable with the Dry Stout being the only beer I truly did not like. Quantity Fair pours and an easy to transport holder for your Flight. Value Flights are $8 if you stick to the flagship beers or $10 if you select any seasonal or limited release beers. Ambiance Cypress & Grove Brewing Company is located in Gainesville. It occupies a relatively large factory building. It was a nice day so they pulled up the garage doors and let a breeze push through the space. For a beat up factory building, the immediate entrance is very nice. They have a beautiful bar front and center, which is surrounded by high-tops and tables. As you walk to the side of the bar, it quickly transforms into work space, with equipment and a musty feel. A few televisions can be found in odd places, but they were showing the top games. In the background alternative rock music played. What I did not understand is why they hadn't utilized the outdoor space more. It seemed like a missed opportunity, though it may be related to permits. Crowd There was a small crowd of folks hanging out at the brewery. It seemed like a younger crowd, but that is not too surprising in a college town. Expect to see a lot of Gators gear and quite a few Greek letters. However, don't expect to see any dogs, because they are quite adamant about the no pets policy. I even watched them escort a couple and their pup out. Service I had come to just hang out and enjoy some beers, but I still found myself frustrated with how slow this place operates. There were a few people working, but it only seemed like one was actually doing anything. Luckily it was not too busy, because I don't know if they could handle a large crowd. Parking They have a very small parking lot, that was made even smaller by the presence of a food truck. Expect to park along the street if it is busy. Extra With todays beer culture even in a small town like Gainesville, expectations are high for each and every brewery. Unfortunately Cypress & Grove Brewing Company just did not hit the mark.

Visited Cypress & Grove a little while back because my sister had decided to treat my mother to a beer at a beer garden instead of just one purchased from the grocery store and sitting at home. As this was during pandemic time, the inside seating area was completely closed off and the only available location to sit was outside in the garden, which was fine by us. We got a flight of beers as customized by the bartender to my mom's taste, while I got a cider. They are taking the pandemic precautions seriously, with proper distancing in the line and picnic tables in the garden are well separated. There was a solid flow of traffic through, getting drinks and all. The beer is good here, and the atmosphere is right up there as well. I'll certainly return at some point.

It's a brewery with a nice beer selection for Gainesville. There is indoor seating in a rustic, open space that would be a good meeting place or group space. Also inside are a few pool tables. Outside tables are located on the fairly large lawn. Food is provided by food trucks - only one there tonight. My beer was ok and I would like to try others another time. The staff was friendly but it wasn't busy so maybe the comments about rude staff occurred when crowded.

Good beer, cool old architecture inside place, plenty of room indoors or outdoors! Pool tables & TV's, food trucks.

Checking out a fairly new brewery in Gainesville. It is near a restaurant called "afternoon". The brewery has a lot of seating space but not much parking if it's during busy hours. There is a counter with the menu and service. The choices are a bit limited compared to other breweries nearby. There is a huge upstairs space with very nice and comforting atmosphere with two pool tables.

Of the Gainesville breweries, Cypress & Grove takes the cake on space, vibe, and atmosphere. I love their building and the general aesthetic. Plus, having the spacious indoor area is great in the summer. The beer is always fantastic, too. I appreciate their devotion to the craft and am always impressed with the offerings on tap. The staff is always accommodating and helpful, too. Truly a great addition to the Gainesville beer scene!

Interesting new brewery in downtown Gainesville. The owners have repurposed an old ice factory that had been used to cool fruit and other locally grown produce that was shipped up north by train. The factory had a well that was used to in the making of the ice. The new owners are using that same well to produce top quality brews made with water direct from the Florida aquifer. So when they say you're drinking a Florida beer - it's old school Florida through & through. At this time, they've released 5 beers. We tried the IPA and a blonde Ale - both were solid for first offerings. They've done a nice job refurbishing the facility. There's lots of room for gatherings & even an outdoor space (hopefully for bands and festivals!) The staff was helpful, attentive and fairly knowledgeable about the beers they were pouring. I look forward to a return visit.

To start off, I absolutely adore the building and the space that these guys have in which to grow. Reading some of the history, this building was home to the area's ice plant that provided ice for locals, as well as the railroads that passed through, during the 1800s. A part of the building is still under construction/remodel, which is understandable given the enormity, but so far, they are just using every bit they can to the best of their ability. You walk in, from the parking lot, through some garage-style doors, and you're in the Taproom. If you proceed past the bar, you'll find the brewery which has an incredible amount of space for more tanks and vessels when Cypress & Grove is ready to expand. If you go up the stairs to the right of the bar, you'll find a great area to relax with pool tables, ping pong, foosball, and some board games. When we were there, a concrete bar was still in the process of being built in this room. It already looks beautiful, and I can't wait to visit again and see it's completion. Continue through this room and you'll end up out on the back porch and you can head on down into the yard. I can only imagine the epic events that could be held here with this amount of space in which to use. Since my friend and I were on our way home, we just ordered a flight to share. We decided on the Chocolate Porter, Blonde Ale, Helles Lager, and the IPA. Of the four, especially given the humidity outside, the Helles was my fave. There was a pretty limited selection, but that's understandable given that Cypress & Grove is still in their early stages. One thing that I especially love is the "pay it forward" board behind the bar. You can pay ahead for a beer for someone, and the staff will honor it for that person when they come in, regardless of whether or not you are present. There's so much room for growth and expansion in this space and for this brewery. I look forward to another visit to Gainesville in the future to see just how that turns out.

The venue is funky with nice air conditioning. The beer was not bad, but the bar tender made it clear that you could have only one sample. The service was rude in general. The beer was cool not cold. Additionally, the establishment is not dog friendly. I wouldn't come back here.

Thomas M.

Nice atmosphere, the beer is not cold at all it's closer to warm. If you are going to sell beer in Florida it better be cold. Unless it's a stout .. service was ok though.

I am always surprised by people that come into a brand new establishment and slam it within a week of opening. Give this place a chance. There isn't a formula for making a unique brewery in a small town. This is a great place. Ambiance is relaxed and friendly. They are doing good things. They made a family oriented brewery with lots of fun things to do. There is pool, cornhole, table tennis and pool. They repurposed a building in a blighted section of town that will help build value and attract more businesses to the area. I give kudos to businesses like this that take a big risk to revive sections of Gainesville and bring something unique to the table. More businesses like this make our cities and ultimately our country better. If you expect perfect consistency you can go to any number of chain restaurants anywhere and get the same mediocrity you are accustomed to. The beer is not bad at all and will only get better as they tweak their recipes. I give this place a big thumbs up and 5 stars for making another cool and unique place to visit in gainesville that you can bring your family to and enjoy a cold beer all while supporting the local economy!

Another Gainesville brewery, this time in an old ice plant. First of all, they have their own parking lot. However it is small, and if there is an event happening there will never be parking available. Beer, wine and cider are offered. The venue has a lot of space and is a good place to meet.

Cypress & Grove is pretty amazing. It's huge. The night we were there with co-workers, they had an awesome food truck with some really freaking awesome food. I didn't drink since I was the designated driver but my husband enjoyed his two beers and we loved the food. I appreciate that the breweries invite food trucks to supplement all the beer. It feels like I'm back in Germany at one of the festivals. The building is gorgeous. But I like that industrial, exposed brick and cement floors look. And, crazy enough, it wasn't loud! With all that cement and exposed brick, you'd think the place would be so loud but it wasn't. It was downright comfortable. There are tables everywhere. Tables and chairs, a pool table, separate rooms for parties. It's just a sprawling place. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is...you guessed it, all the dang kids! One family had three kids and they had laid out a play area on the floor in the aisle between the bar and their table where they placed toys and other kid things. STOP! This should just not be a thing. It's a brewery. It's a place where adults can hang out and not have to censor themselves from little ears. So I mentioned that I spent time in Germany. My parents dragged me everywhere. I've been to breweries and pubs and a variety of festivals with lots of drunk Germans and Americans. Yes, you'd see other kids but the difference being that the kids were allowed to be in these adult places and not invited. If that makes sense. A brewery was an adult place. It was not considered family friendly. So if you brought your kid, well, your kid might just hear adult conversations. And you'd never find a kid on a blanket in the middle of the aisle with her toys. And you'd never find kids running around (unless it was at a festival with rides and such) yelling at each other while the parents blissfully ignored them. I would really like adult places to be adult places where children are invited, but not officially family friendly.

COVID Epicenter -- Looking to get COVID antibodies without receiving the vaccine? This is the perfect place for you! This place enforces zero mask guidelines and social distancing policies, and the workers were incredibly rude to myself and my family when we expressed issue with this. If you're looking for a safer (and frankly better) brewery in town, check out First Magnitude. At least they have the decency to keep their customers safe.

I had high hopes after reading some other yelp reviews. Unfortunately I was not impressed. As you can see from the flight pic, the beers are named after the beer type and each tasted like your basic beer for those types. They had a nice setting and decor though.

It's a little goofy for me to give a place five stars on the basis of a drink, but honestly? I'd come back here, for that drink. It's not even alcoholic -- so on their menu they say they have "homemade seltzer" but this "sour orange" flavor of theirs was actually a lot closer to the San Pellegrino Aranciata juice/soda hybrid than seltzer, plus, it had a light fennel flavor on top of that. It's right by my house, so I could totally see myself coming back there and getting more of these. Plus I guess now I have to try the other flavors!

Went in this past week with a friend and I love this brewery and am already making plans to go back time and time again. First let me say this! Most of Gainesville's breweries are closed on Mondays! But Not Cypress and Grove! They are open and serving up great beers. If you do not read to the end, I highly recommend this place! Parking they have a lot, but most people park on the street as there is a lot of street parking around. When you walk in you can tell this place was something else before and they have done some serious urban planning to make it into a brewery which is awesome. I decided to get a flight since it was my first time here and loved pretty much everything I had. I told the bartender what I liked and did not like and they picked out the perfect beers for me. The bartenders are super friendly and nice and super helpful and make sure you get the perfect drink! I am really impressed by Cypress and Grove and can't wait to go get more drinks. One thing that like most of the other breweries this one also has food trucks outside that change pretty regularly so you can get food at the food truck their for the night! Yay for Cypress and Grove and I heard they will be celebrating 1 year in Gainesville on August 11th! Congrats on an amazing first year!!

This may well be my favorite brewery in Gainesville. The beer selection is large and there is something for all tastes. And the beer here is GOOD. The space is also really aesthetically pleasing and they have a such a nice, large outdoor area with plenty of picnic benches and cute overhead lighting. The atmosphere is really laid back and relaxed, prices are fair. Tip - service dogs only are allowed here.

C & G has slowly become one of my favorite spots in Gainesville. It's got a solid set of beers, a few seasonal that I'm a big fan of, and the location/space is amazing. I love the physical space. It's open and airy; my favorite is when they open the doors & let the breeze waft into the venue. The private room is great for office events, but they still have plenty of space for your standard visitor. The bar is massive, and I never have to fight for a bartender to grab me a drink. The beers are solid, and I mean that with much respect. They are what they are; no frills. Here's a great IPA or lager. No fancy names, just well-made beer. Their seasonal beers do venture a bit into the more creative side, but still hold true to C & G's notoriety of good beer. Word to the wise: parking is very limited, but there is plenty of street parking/other lots to park in. Bring a friend (but not a dog), a board game, & have a great time hanging out at a gem in GNV.

Terrible service, unfriendly staff, subpar beer. Don't waste your money, there are far better breweries in Gainesville. The environment is cool at first since they've done an awesome job with the place, but the allure quickly fades once you realize how standoffish the staff is and how underwhelming the quality of beer was. If you're looking for a good brewery in Gainesville I'd suggest Swamphead

I've been here several times but I guess I never posted a review. They have made some great improvements since they first opened. The extra seating area is looking nice. They have a couple old pool tables and other games to play. The beer is pretty good. I really like the pale ale and stout. The others aren't bad either. It would be nice to see a little more variety but I'm sure that will come in time. Nice place to hang out with h a few friends. I really love like how they took an old place and brought it back to life.

A limited selection, which isn't bad, they may do a few but they do them very well. Definitely one of my favorite brewery in the Gainesville area. Haven't come across one where I felt meh or didn't like. I enjoy how the front opens up to let in a lot of sunlight and fresh air in. Only tried one of their seasonal beers, the pumpkin which was amazing.

Cool brewery/pub. Great beer and variety of all tastes. Separate room upstairs has games, pool table, and a new bar area. Food trucks in late afternoon. Gators games on the big screen upstairs. Lots of civic events. Cool place!

There is a lot of competition in this town for craft brewing, and I have to say I was disappointed. I had the IPA, and I normally love IPAs. Not this one. It was too bitter for my liking. Also, I felt like I could not escape the heat. It is inside-outside style, and it was a hot, humid evening like many evenings in Florida. It was almost unbearable. Parking is limited, but that is common in this town near the breweries. Highlight: The staff was really friendly.

I am constantly amazed at how lazy the bartenders are there. I genuinely believe that replacing them with robots is the way to go. Either get people that want to work or let them move on. I'm not tipping if the service stays that bad.

Went here first time this past Sunday, friendly staff. Nicely laid out space. I had a pale ale and a taste of the porter. Obviously worlds apart taste wise. Enjoyed the pale ale and will try the porter next time. I am more of a wine drinker so I was happy to see they offer wine and non-alcoholic choices too. Happy to have another place in my neighborhood They will have live music outside, so stay tuned....

Want to support local business and really enjoy the atmosphere and the beers at this brewery. But staff have been consistently not friendly. They seem either indifferent or almost like it is an imposition to pour you a beer. Hope this is just a Covid thing and they can develop a more welcoming attitude.

This is the spot for the after-work beer hour. The location is close to mid-town Gainesville and UF campus. Interesting semi-industrial ice-factory environment. Plenty of tables and rooms for groups to spread out. There's a game room and food trucks. Plenty of parking. Oh ... and they also have great beer!

Visited for the first time and was thoroughly impressed by S&G. This brewery is tucked away from the University scene and was pleasantly not filled with students (not many Gainesville business can boast this anymore). Prices were extremely fair, and although the selection was limited (only about 6 or 7 brews available) they were all wonderful. My personal favorite was the seasonal pumpkin brew they had available on draft. The inside is beautifully decorated full of brick and wood; pool tables and foozeball available for entertainment with plenty of benches or open area to sit/stand and chat. My reason for giving 4 stars is for the poor lighting and signage outside. The backside of the building is on the main drag with no signs, no street lights, and quite honestly looks abandoned and decrepit. This isn't very far from a slummy part of Gainesville and I thought my GPS had got me into some trouble. If they had a lit sign on 4th to depict to turn in to park for the brewery, it would be much more inviting, and easy to navigate at night since there is very little in the way of street lights out this way!

Not good service. The staff is not nice. Looks like it is a burden to serve people that is trying to support a local business. Last call is always variable, you call and ask the time they close and then they keep changing the mile market. So much potential but very rude staff.

Cypress & Grove Brewing Co. follows many of the subliminal precepts that attract craft beer drinkers. Their facility speaks to an unspoken narrative of preservation as well as conservation. The reclamation of the Old Gainesville Ice House, along with the use of its original artesian well, adds nuance and redemption to an area once abandoned. The beers at Cypress & Grove are very approachable. There's no harsh 'connoisseur driven' concoctions on tap! Their brews are crisp and clean, so most patrons won't be intimated or need a post doctorate in Botanical Alchemy to understand their servings. In addition, Cypress has ample parking and it's kid friendly. And what's more important, they've managed to do all of this, without adding to the urban foot print!

Snuggled downtown near the bike path, Cypress & Grove offers a good selection of their own brews and carefully selected house wines for anyone who prefers. On a weeknight like tonight we prefer average abv beers with lots of flavor and we were treated to three great brews. I alway like Irish Reds (the Murphy in me?) and tonight's was great. I also enjoyed the Bavarian lager while my better half liked the pale ale. We also enjoyed tonight's food truck, a particularly good Indian food specialist. We enjoyed chicken curry and a vegetarian curry. Both were mmmm good. Snagged some great nan too! Brought in the month of May tonight with brews and great Asian food from "The Taste" mobile food trailer. Always great beer here! A great night at Cypress & Grove. Check it out!

Only last visit to Gainesville I wanted to try two of the breweries that I had not been to yet. I really enjoyed Cypress. It has a refined industrial feel. As a lover of dark beer, I had the imperial stout and the chocolate porter, both were fairly good, nothing outstanding about them. Adequate parking and a food truck were available. I noticed pool tables available as well. They did have a live band. Everything was open air, and the temperature was nice and the music lively. I enjoyed it. The only aspect that I would say was average was the service. The one thing that I enjoy about neighborhood breweries is their own special recipes of their signature beers. I tried a sample and asked about a few beers and the server did not seem interested in discussing it much despite the lack of a line. The service was prompt and the server was not rude at all, after visiting many breweries it was something that I have grown used to as long as I am not slowing up service to others. I will be back. I recommend it.

Good brews, good atmosphere, consistently has food trucks outside, and always some sort of small local event on the weekend. Love that they renovated this building into an open flowing place (inside/outdoor) so that you can enjoy our nice FL weather. Very cool eclectic art on the walls and an awesome room for weekend yoga and brews. Def a favorite local hang out!

I've only been to Cypress and Grove twice. Once with a colleague for drinks after work and this most recent time with an organization for a general body meeting. Individually with a couple of friends this is a cool place to hang out for a few beers. There are a few tables and seats to the side of the bar. It was a little harder this most recent time with my organization because there was limited seating and an event in their room to the side of the bar. We selected this place since it was fairly centrally located and close to downtown/campus. They were able to reserve us a table but you really couldn't control the noise level or other people setting up at their cocktail tables near you. It was HOT in the main bar area but we live in Florida and that's to be expected. The beer is pretty good! I got the lager because I am not a sophisticated craft beer enthusiast. I prefer something light and easy. They also have a kombucha on tap and based on the couple of families who dragged kids/teens to the brewery I'm assuming it's good! They bring out food trucks which is great because I got to try one I hadn't before. There is ample parking near by and the staff are super friendly! I will be going back!!

I've been to a LOT of breweries, and I like beer. The owners have magically created a beautiful space from a historic building with a welcoming community feel. The beer is very well crafted, with an enjoyable west coast hop essence. The Pale Ale was my favorite, but the bar staff will let you sample any of their tasty brews until you find your favorite. Pair it with some local favorite eats from an onsite food truck, and enjoy a little time with your friends. Looking forward to my next visit to see how this young brewery continues to evolve and expand their selection.

This is a really cool place! We went the night of a party for a politician which probably altered our experiences since we were a bit limited to explore around the party. Definitely the type of environment you can just relax in all night. There were lots of games to play and the option to sit in or outside. We played a pretty intense game of Jenga and connect 4, but there were a lot more game options. There was also a great space upstairs to rent out for events. The beers were alright, but I enjoyed the vibes more.
