Dragonmead is a great brewery with a delicious selection of beer. The location isn't fantastic, in an industrial looking building off the freeway. However, it does have its own parking lot with plenty of spaces. It's dim-lit inside, lots of brick, long corridor setup with short square tables, and plentiful seating. Dragonmead is Medieval, Knight, Dragon themed, and there are some nods to this theme with gargoyle statues, a knight's chair and a large mural of a dragon and lady, and other knightly decorations throughout. There is a bar when you first enter and they also offer table service as well.
My favorite time to go is on Thursday nights when the Loaded Die hosts game night from 5 pm - 10 pm. I usually grab a beer at the bar when I first come in and start a tab and head to the back to find a game to get in. They have a pretty decent game library to begin with on a shelf in the back and on Thursdays when they have game night the host has a very extensive game library, pretty much any game you can think of. They also offer a raffle where you get raffle tickets for each beer you purchase and just for rsvping. I've won Exploding Kittens and another game in the raffle before.
The main attraction is of course the beer. My favorite is Final Absolution but there are so many good ones here. Lancelot's Cream Ale and Guinevere's Golden Belgian are also delicious. Sin Eater, a decadent dark subtly sweet malty Belgian Strong is another favorite. I also really like the Killer Bee, a Belgian Trippel with honey flavors. The Ring of Fire, has a subtly spicy heat with hot peppers. I also really enjoyed the Elderberry Raspberry Wit, not overly sweet. They have a nice offering of IPAs, Belgians, Wheat Ales, Fruit Beers, and some meads, ciders, and wines to fit a variety of preferences. You can order beer by the pint, flight, and growler. A flight comes with five beers. You can choose your own flight or sometimes they offer a special. The last time I came, they had a light and fruity flight for summer for $9 with a couple IPAs, an Apricot, Raspberry, and Belgian Wheat Ale. I created my own and the beers in the flight were a pretty large size.
They also offer a small food menu with waffle fries, chili, loaded fries, barvarian pretzels, a few sandwiches and mac and cheese. The chili and loaded waffle fries are very good. I had the turkey and jack grilled sandwich and it was also very tasty. Love their soft warm Barvarian pretzel sticks with mustard, honey mustard, and cream cheese dips. The mac and cheese was small and a little runny so that was probably the only miss that I encountered on their food menu. On Wednesdays they have a special offering of potato and cheese pierogi served with mustard and sour cream and they were super delicious. Their food menu is smaller and mostly small bar bites as opposed to a full meal.
They also sell merchandise such as t-shirts, dog tag necklaces, stickers and beer cap earrings. Service is always very good. Even if you originally order at the bar, the sever easily finds you in the crowded bar to give you your food or beer and checks on everyone several times and remembers each person to present them promptly with the correct check, even when very crowded. It's kind of impressive. Overall, delicious beer, decent bar food, good service and always fun on game nights. I'll be back soon.
