Where to Eat, Stay, and Play in Fargo, North Dakota

"Drekker Brewery, known for its hazy IPAs, and smoothie sours sits in one of Fargo’s oldest buildings, a 1880 building originally built as a locomotive repair building and foundry. Located adjacent to Drekker is the newly-opened food hall, Brewhalla, a food and entertainment hall made up of local small businesses."

I’m not a drinker of any sort but the folks in my party that were with me on our visit truly enjoyed all of the different brews they tried. There’s a ton of choices and I highly recommend the flight option - great to try out a few beers. We were also able to enjoy the fire pit patio out back. Super nice! Very friendly people here, they’ll answer your questions. Highly recommend you stop by…

This place is HUGE. No idea before coming plus had a hotel and food hall attached would recommend to stay at while in Fargo. Some of the best smoothie style and milkshake style sour beers in the country, only couple that do it anything like they do here in North Dakota. Not just sour, but more tart and sweet. Many just like a desert. The boozy soft serve ice cream, fried ice cream, was as good as it sounds too and must on a hot day there.

It had been six or seven years since my last visit, and there have been significant changes. I'm not sure what to think of the market area and the hotel, but as long as they keep producing quality beers, I can overlook their ambition. I stayed for a flight, and all but one were good to great (I missed the fine print about choosing a frozen treat). This would definitely be a stop if I find myself in Fargo again.

Stafford super friendly and great prices. Lot of parking too. The Fool Me Thrice hard seltzer and Slang raspberry were to die for.

What a place! Great brews, great atmosphere. I met some nice friends there. And the bartender Juliana was the sweetest and an absolute rock star. Despite the line, she always was willing to pour me another "small pour" so I could try all those great IPAs! This place is off the charts good. The people in Fargo are really lucky.

Our first time to Drinker Brewing. We found the selections great. Found a favorite. Had conversation with the Logan. He was a delight to talk to. Thanks to all the beer tenders for they were knowledgeable on all. Seen a few frozen infused with alcohol being served. Thought about it but having beer .

This place is fantastic. Not only are the beers incredible, but the whole complex offers everything you need in one spot. The marketplace provides local vendors a place to set up shop, with offerings ranging from food to unique stores and games to activities that let you unwind. I totally recommend the IPAs and suggest going with a flight since there are so many to choose from—it gives you a real taste of their brewing talent. I'll definitely try to return whenever I'm remotely near the area.

So this is the best idea ever. You have your brewery in a gigantic hall filled with restaurants and shops, and you can take your beer around as you shop. I loved it. We didn't have much time, but I could have stayed all day just drinking beer and hanging out. Drekker had so many good-looking beers to try. My husband had the raspberry mallow one, which was amazing. I'm not sure what I had (he brought me some kind of purple-y sour), and it was also good, but his was just SO good.

Stopped in to "brewhalla" while in Fargo. What a nice little compound. We have OD'ed on breweries the past few years so I only had a small 5oz pour of a Mexican lager. I thought it was pretty good. Enjoyed the ambiance and the history of the brewery. I also appreciated they had a number of seating areas - outside, inside, upstairs. And the collection of pinball machines! Def worth a stop and next time would look in to staying at the hotel there as well.

The best thing in Fargo! First off I always love an awesome logo so Drekker has that working for them (think viking.) Which then in turn makes their merchandise interesting and desirable. My husband definitely spent close to $100 on Drekker gear. Great idea having the brewery inside (or attached to) Brewhalla (market)! I can share it worked in our favor when we visited as it was a weekday and early. The actually brewery wasn't serving but they also have a bar in the market that was open for business! I am not a beer person but sours have grown on me and their sour was FABULOUS! I like beer that doesn't taste like beer and their beer tasted like straight fruity deliciousness- won me over. We did wander into the brewery to look at the merch which could be purchased at the bar. Spacious and the pinball machines! We stopped immediately and the whole family got lost in pinball for a good 45 minutes. They even had step stools- thanks Drekker as my 3 year old needed it and is into pinball. We were lucky enough to be there when a repair man showed up and he has to to test the machines so we 'worked' right along side him testing machines for free! (Thanks!) Nice people working here. The bartender was friendly and liked chatting. I approached someone in the brewery regarding beer can labels (their beer can art is awesome! Think bright colors, well thought out graphics and just easy on the eyes. Totally eye catching.) I asked for one for a art project I am working on for our house and he sent me packing with probably a dozen! Again- Thank you! Overall Drekker was a great stop and in my opinion the best thing Fargo has working for it. Pro tip: You can stay in the hotel attached to Brewhalla right upstairs- amazing idea!

Great brewery with great taps and a lot of variety! If you like beer and in Fargo this is a must. Only small negative is "No Samples " Atmosphere is out of the park! Super cool vibe.

Fast friendly service, no samples but the offer tasters, of which we had 3, as well as 2 full sized. The open market is a fun trend, with a variety of options. We were able to have our morning coffee & scones before hitting a couple of stores, having gelato, a few beers and grabbed 2 4packs & cheese to go.

We visited Drekker Brewing Company before our flight out of Fargo and couldn't have been happier. The building and property are amazing, with plenty of space for groups to enjoy the diverse selection of beers, other drinks, and snacks. Inside, there's a large selection of pinball machines, wild artwork, and a sneak peek into the brewery. Built in 1880 as a locomotive repair building and foundry, it's the last standing piece of a large railroad facility. Now, it's a fantastic craft brewery with eclectic decor, a spacious interior with lofted ceilings, and diverse seating options. On a hot day, we were recommended by the friendly bartender a Boozy slushies made with Fruit Punch Ice Ice PRRRTY. We enjoyed our slushies outside by the fire pit filled with skulls and bones, while listening to cool alternative music. A must-visit if you're passing through Fargo! Plus, it's connected to the Brewhalla market building, which is fun to explore. Skål!

Thirst quenching. Trendy. Rustic. Love this spot! And the brewery! But most importantly love the beer. Add it to the list if you're in the area. I love sours and this is the place to get them. Really nice interior and plenty of outdoor seating. Good spot to come with a group, lots to do inside as well.

I'm not going to lie, we visited here because I love their beer. We went first on 4th of July and it was so busy. It was also pretty organized and we had no trouble getting drinks. There are 3 bars. Two were being used while we were there. There is plenty of seating inside and out. We saw lots of children. We had several drinks I love their fruity drinks and my husband tried several kinds of IPA. We went back the next day and it wasn't quite as busy. We brought our dogs in and found a nice quiet spot. We will definitely go back.

These guys do micro-brewing right. They have an excellent assortment of experimental and traditional beers, in my opinion specializing in fruited sours and "smoothie" beers. I've never had a Drekker brew that I didn't like. The space is excellent - modern industrial casual vibes. Thanks to the addition of the attached Brewhalla, you shouldn't have to wait long for service. If you're in Fargo, make sure to check this place out.

Fun spot with a gorgeous industrial loft interior. I dig any space that makes me feel like I'm back in the age of Titanic mechanics. They have a wide selection of beers. Don't be afraid of the flavored ones. We tried the peanut butter stout which was impressively yummy. I don't even like peanut butter flavored things but that was delectable. All the folks hanging out here were truly North Dakota nice. Staff included. Definitely a spot to check out if you're in Fargo. Oh, and the coolest part....how could I almost forget to mention this. It's attached to a fun food hall with a range of food from seafood to pizza.

The building is one of the coolest breweries I've ever been in! The parking is in a large lot so there's always a place to park. The beer was okay. I've definitely had better brewery beer, but the atmosphere on their patio was worth the stop while we were visiting Fargo.

First off.. love the old train building that they occupy. They did a great job preserving a lot of the original architecture inside and out. We've been drinking Drekker beers for years either at beer festivals or shares and most recently we've been getting some distribution to Las Vegas.. but this is our first time visiting the brewery. Big space! Seating inside and outside, connected to a food hall as well. Pinball games and lots of merchandise. We ordered small pours of 10 different beers; I like the IPA's she likes the slushy sours. Everything was fantastic! The girls working the bar did a great job keeping up with the line of people at the service well and the people at the bar. We would definitely visit again when we are in the area.

Visited here on July 3rd and so happy we chose to stop here! This was some of the best sour beer I've ever had!! The other styles were delicious too! Kelly was great and helpful bartender! The venue was awesome with a market area which included the bar! We had brunch and gelato, too! Could've spent the entire day here shopping at some of the shops and eating and drinking (coffee and other drinks too). Super cool vibe! Definitely going back on another trip!! PS there are also hotel rooms on upper levels of the building!

Drekker is a fabulous brewery! After living in Fargo several years I had always heard about this place but never went. And yeah, now that I have been I regret not going sooner because it's so cool! It's a bit of a hidden place, yet Drekker is very spacious inside. There's a lovely outdoor patio area as well as an upstairs loft. Along with the many sours and beers on tap they also have pin ball machines and other games to keep you entertained. If you're a fan at all of more fruity drinks and sours, this is the place for you. That's the vast majority of what Drekker serves. They have a few blonde ales that I can remember but most of it is colorful and tart, just like the cover art for each option. They even serve slushee sours which are a huge hit. There's tons of seating both inside and outside so this is a perfect place to hang out with friends or family and have a great time. Also, if you do geocaching there's a special Drekker one to be found! :)

My first stop in ND straight from the airport! Service: Server had good recommendations on beers. Beer: IPA's were good. Ectogasm being the favorite that we tasted A nice variety of beers 24.

One of the most unique and fun breweries I've ever been to, and easily the best sours I've ever had. Coming from southern California where there's a brewery every other mile, Drekker offered an experience that I had yet to have. The vibe is super cool with an industrial vibe, something you don't usually see in Fargo, ND. There was plenty of seating (plus THREE bars), and an endless supply of fun activities to do while you're sipping your beer. The vintage pinball machines especially were a neat touch. The staff was super friendly and helpful when selecting a beer, and the offering was very diverse. The smoothie beers seemed intimidating, but were delicious and became my favorites along with the sours during my three-day stay in Fargo. Drekker would be the reason I'd return to Fargo, and I could not recommend it enough!

We stopped in for lunch. Very nice staff, lots of brews to choose from and a neat shopping and restaurant area in the back. Lots of yummy foods to choose from. They even have a raw bar! Whenever I get back in the area, I'll be back!

Impressive building with lots of varied seating to fit your mood, the weather, or your group. They have a nice beer garden outside, tables and couches inside (with a few pinball machines ) and an upstairs loft. Absolutely spectacular beers! They are a top location for sours without a doubt. The Prrrt the Rainbow and Blueberry, Orange, Guava Braaaaaains I had were amazing and I wish I'd have had the time to try the rest on tap.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the best brewery in the country! Phenomenal beers, excellent service (bartenders were great) and the ambiance was modern and industrial. Fits in great with Brewhalla! If you're in Fargo, you MUST go!

My husband and I decided to plan a trip to Fargo SPECIFICALLY to visit Drekker! We are from Seattle and got turned onto Drekker beer earlier this year, through our Tavour app. We made the trip to Drekker in October. The minute we got to our hotel room, we were booking an Uber ride to Drekker! When we pulled up, we were both awestruck! The sun was setting, and the outside looked so magical. As soon as we opened the door, we had to take a minute to take it all in. Honestly, I had the same feeling as I did visiting Disneyland for the first time as a kid. YES, it is that amazing. The inside was everything I love. An old building with so much history- mixed with industrial and modern touches. It is absolutely beautiful. We finally made our way up to the bar. Since we had planned 3 days at Drekker, we didn't want to blow our load in the first night. We started off with 3 samples, all IPA's. We then moved on to a few pints each, one of which ended up being my favorite beer (actually a seltzer!) of the trip! I had a pint of the 'PLOP Strawberry Pina Colada' on all 3 visits to the Brewhalla. In the course of all 3 days, we had tried every single beer they had on tap, AND we were even lucky enough to be there on the Friday they released EYE SCREAM: Pumpkin! I'm typically not a fan of pumpkin, but in true Drekker fashion, it was amazing! I always shop for Drekker merch online - but it was so fun to shop at the source!!! We came home with so much good stuff! More glassware, for us and for friends - and not to mention beanies and T-shirts! I seriously love Drekker, as if it wasn't clear. I cannot wait to visit again. Definitely planning on a trip once the Brewhalla Hotel opens up! Thanks for the memories, Drekker! See you next time!!

I can confidently say that I am the Chicagoland area's biggest Drekker fan. You can imagine my excitement when we were finally able to make the trip up to Fargo to visit my favorite brewery on my birthday weekend. They usually do new beer drops on Fridays and we pulled into the parking lot about 5 mins after they opened on a Friday. Walking into the building was awesome - the decor, the ambiance, that subtle yeast smell in the air - I was here for it and I couldn't wait to try whatever new stuff they on tap! However, for some reason, this weekend was one of the only weekends they had where they didn't release any new beers. They had a few on tap that I had already tried in can form back home and didn't fall in love with, so I was a bit bummed about that to say the least. Don't get me wrong, it was still quite an enjoyable experience and the staff were super and the beers I had were still tasty but it was not the epic birthday trip that I had envisioned. Luckily, we were able to snag a super-limited-edition Chonk prayer candle and about $200 worth of merch to rep the brewery back home. We still plan on visiting Brewhalla once it opens but this particular visit was a little bit of a letdown. I guess this is growing up *cue Blink 182 guitar riff*

I'm sorry, but updating this review from 5 stars as they starting charging for beer samples. It's ridiculous and reminds me of the archaic laws of Utah. Their bar tenders are also clueless. Literally asked what the difference was between their 4 double IPAs on tap and was told nothing more than some generic answer about hop styles. Like no shit... Any other bar or brewery will give you a sample if you're trying to decide between two beers. Leaving this and will not be going back till they fix it

This is a great brewery. The ambiance is awesome with the high ceilings and cool decor. There are several beers to choose from. My husband and I enjoyed a couple of their IPAs. The employees were all friendly. It was a bonus that they had several pinball machines that the kids could play while we had our beer. The brewhalla down the hallway has several different options of food to order and a decent amount of seating. You can also order Drekker's beer from a couple of different locations in the hall, as well as wine and cocktails.

If we had to go to only one brewery in Fargo, I'm so so happy this is the one we went to! It was a hard decision to make and we based it off of other Yelp reviews and thankfully Drekker was all we wanted and more! They had a wonderful selection of beer; I tried all 3 dark beers and my favorite was the bourbon-aged Pinky Promise. Love the industrial ambiance in an old railroad station and graffiti Art Deco, clean bathrooms, old school pinball machines and plenty of seating! Definitely worth a stop if ever in Fargo!

First of all, what a stunning building and ambiance here. The building itself is awesome. Staff were wonderful and they run a great business here. They have incredible sour beers here. The blackberry and lemon bar flavors were our fave. Must see brewery in Fargo!

Was in town for one glorious night to join the Fargo visitor center's "Best for Last" club - it took me 50 years to make it to NoDak. After dinner, we sought out dessert - there's the DQ over in Moorhead that invented the Dilly bar. But. I think I found something on par with that level of innovation. The Mango Marg SLOOSH! I had a couple frozen wonders as my bride explored the menu with small pours. Everyone was so friendly - venue was awesome. I'll need to get back before another half century passes.

I started hearing about these "smoothie" beers that would sell out within a couple hours of their release in Minneapolis. Hmmm, well I gotta check out what all this talk was about. So I followed Drekker on insta. I finally was able to get my hands on them after calling liquor stores to see what time they got their delivery in. Like, I never thought I'd be that person lol, no shame though. These fruited sour beers were something my taste buds had never tasted before. I get why they sell out so fast. It doesn't taste like a beer but more like a smoothie. And it's 7-8% ABV, so you'll be getting a good buzz off one. They were given the great names of 'Braaaainnnnss" and 'Slang du Jour'. Each sour with a different flavor every other week. They have a ton of other IPAs and beers as well but I have favorited and only stuck to the sours. Enough about the beers and on to the taproom. I finally got to drive the four hours to fargo to visit the brewery. I felt so cool. Rubbing it in to my friends back in Minneapolis. And let me tell you, their taproom is beautiful. One of the coolest breweries I've been too. It must've been an old train station. They had tall ceilings and huge train station doors and windows. Gorgeous wood and old brick walls. I loved their patio, bonfire and hanging lights. What's a brewery without a fire going right? They also had some sweet pinball games inside. I had a wonderful experience here and so did my mom. She liked it so much she even bought some beers to-go! And she hardly ever drinks! Keep it up Drekker (:

Drekker Brewing has some very solid beer! It was highly enjoyed by us. We had three different beers by Drekker. We had the Neon Venom, Night Machine and a version of their Braaaains beer. The first two were double IPA's which were enjoyable and despite being the same type of beer each Double IPA had it's own flavor profile. I liked the Night Machine better between the two but that's just me as both beers are well made. The Braaains beer is kind of a take on zombies as one may guess. It comes in various versions as a fruit beer. We had thr strawberry and rhubarb version which was very enjoyable to drink and not too sweet which some breweries unfortunately generate with their beer. Drekker does their beers well and I look forward to trying more in the future!

Need to make a correction to my original post. 4 16oz cans of Blacklight cost $18 (I could be wrong and it might be $22) to go. In house pint price is $8/ea for a total of $32. So almost double the cost of to go. Way worse than originally quoted. Also, I asked why the cost delta, especially since it's cheaper to fill a keg and serve it off the tap in house than to can it. The answer I was given is that it has something to do with state liquor laws where they have to charge in house tapped price as the same price that outside vendors would. I'm not sure I believe that but I haven't researched it either. But essentially the employee was telling me that by state law, they aren't allowed to charge any less than what a bar in downtown Fargo would charge. Maybe the ND and Minnesota laws are so draconian that the employees' statement is true. But I find it hard to believe that the state would even spend the money to monitor that kind of thing let alone enforce it. That would also infer that prices are regulated which would contradict a free economy. But again, I could be totally wrong. If that is the case, and they charge basically $4.50-$5.50 per pint canned, the why wouldn't they set the price at the brewery at the same price for canned and force the bars serving it to comply with their pricing? Again, a keg of beer in a keg should cost less than a keg of beer in cans. Sorry but If it costs 2x to drink the same product at the brewery vs my house, I'll just crank up some George Thorogood, get it to go, and hang out with my buddies Black and Red. Then again, I may be banned for there after this post... :-)

Sours are this place's calling card. As compelling as they are inventive, I have never experienced so many unique combinations and flavor profiles of sours and smoothie sours that worked so well than I have here at Drekker. Easily one of the stand-out breweries outside of California that I have had the pleasure of trying, and has put Fargo, North Dakota on the map for me.

This place is BEAUTIFUL. Wow I have never seen anything like this building and brewery. The staff is super friendly and willing to come to your table to see if you need anything. Beer is wide and good, staff is willing to help you pick from the selection. I love coffee beers so I went with the Pillager. Games for family and friends to enjoy. Food truck present. Outdoor area with fire pit which makes it great for any climate. Pinball machines to play and pay from your phone. Growlers available. Event room available. Great space for all ages and events and especially people who love beer.

Drekker has done a great design in an old railroad building. This is a great place to spend the afternoon sipping some of their wares. You can do it inside or outside so on a nice Fargo day - this is a place to be. As you sip you will likely have a train pass by on very close tracks (just do not drink too much). I thought their sours were very tasty as was the red ale. They also have some novelty drinks which I did not know you could make with beer like beer sherbet flavor...who knew.

Drekker has some of the most flavorful beers around the Midwest. We traveled from the Twin Cities to Fargo and had to stop and try out a flight with as many flavors we could drink. Definitely worth trying the sour ala modes. The texture of some beers were different, but easy to drink.

I stopped by here yesterday with my wife for some afternoon drinks. We decided on the Drekker Brewery specifically because of its logo and its location. I know, a great reason to choose a brewery. However we were in Fargo for a day only and so decided to explore it. In any case the inside here is quite interesting. There were a number of tables before the bar as well as some corn hole and board games to play. Along one of the walls was some art and then the brewing equipment was in the back. They also had some string lights hanging up that you might miss if you weren't careful. Finally, the serve yourself water was in a keg with a tap that was sort of fun. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I went with a flight here. The flight here consists of 4 beers and for those I choose the brain freeze parodies punch smoothie sour, coffee rudder (Irish red with coffee), freak parade (double IPA) and a Thor is my copilot (double IPA). The first one I tried was the Brain freeze which was sour, tart, citrusy, and delicious. Up next was the coffee rudder which tasted of coffee right from the start and never really got the Irish red. Still I enjoyed it. Third was the freak parade, and probably my favorite of the beers as it was bright, citrusy and hoppy. Last but certainly not least was the Thor is my copilot. It was smooth and hop forward with a nice finish to it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. This was probably my favorite beer place that I visited out of the many from our week in ND/SD.

This is North Dakota's premier craft brewery. Located in an industrial part of downtown Fargo, the building is a repurposed depot that is an incredible sight to behold. I myself am an IPA guy. Ectogasm checks off many boxes for me. Other craft beer groups I belong to swear by their fruited sours. There are also middle of the road offerings like Broken Rudder Red (tasty and malty) and a pils I had over the summer when the garden was open. Pay em a visit if craft beer is your thing.

This new location (Brewhalla) is an amazing place. A new "must" for people visiting Fargo, as well as us locals. Beautiful design. And you know the beer will be good as always. Ample inside seating and a nice patio. Currently the only have a few options on tap as they just opened but will have a bunch more like their downtown location - as they need to abide to ND law which requires them to serve what's brewed on-site. They'll be there in short time - they've only been unofficially open for two days!

I give drekker's a 4.7/5 stars rounding up to a 5 star score. We sat outside on the beautiful patio area by the fire and enjoyed our drinks out there. The PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE SOUR WAS INCREDIBLE ONE OF THE BEST DRINKS IVE HAD. I ordered two of them because they were so good. You can also play big block Jenga and other games as well. A huge drink menu that has plenty of great options to choose from

Probably my favorite little brewery in town. I've never had a drink here that I didn't like, and their flights are always fun. They always have local art of some kind up on the Eastern wall. I especially appreciate that they provide board games and bags, sometimes have live music inside, and host special events too. The staff have never been anything but nice to me. Plus, they continue the North Dakota tradition of free popcorn. They serve some limited food, though it's mostly meat & cheese sandwiches so you're out of luck if you're vegan or gluten free. But they allow you to bring in food from anywhere. One special thing: in good weather, they'll sometimes have concerts in their little alley space behind the taproom. They're pretty fun and tend to get really packed.

Why must the best breweries always involve a lot of driving on my part. In total it was 1,212 miles to get here from our home. So once I arrived here I loaded down my coolers full of their beers. We tried several pints served in plastic single use cups as no flights were available. The peanut butter and jelly Chonk was the best one I tried that evening. I would suggest hitting Brewbird for a good meal before the brewery. Not sure if I will ever visit Fargo again but I'm a big fan of Drekker and have been for a few years. If your anywhere close to here stop by for beers and check out the cool hats.

I think this might be my favorite brewery! The beers tasted amazing and the vibe was great! It's a huge building with lots of seating both inside and outside. I love hazy IPA's, and I chose Pizza Toots just for the name. According to UnTapped, it's the highest ranked beer I've drank! I was so sad they didn't have any in the cooler for off sale. I was also sad they were out of their boozy ice cream. My husband tried the Ectogasm and loved it, and we purchased Doomsday Device off sale and it is equally as delicious! Not sure if we will ever be back in Fargo, but a trip might be worth it just to go back to Drekker!

This place looks absolutely amazing on the outside and the inside! With that being said parking is a little tight, I mean if you arrive at 8pm on a Saturday night you probably won't be able to find a parking spot. Beware that the lot next door is for residential and they may tow. I was with a group of 4 on a Saturday night and trying to find a spot for us to sit was a little difficult. This includes seating outside and inside. When we finally waited for spots to open, it was seat yourself. It was also family style and I felt like we could hear everything our neighbors were saying. It was very loud and difficult to have a conservation with the rest of our group across the table. It was also confusing as to how we were suppose to get service as some servers were waiting on people right next to us but never approached us. Finally we just decided to go to the bar and order our drinks which again took a lot longer than one might think. When we finally settled in at the table with our drinks, then a server came to ask if we needed anything. We were a little taken aback, obviously we had fresh new drinks and didn't need anything but why had it taken that long to ask? With all that being said, the beer was really good! The ambiance was amazing with all the stone and woodwork but the service leaves something to be desired.

First of all the beer is amazing. Unique varieties they all taste different superb delivery smells flavor and drink ability. But management is awful. I had tasted eight different beers and I asked for a splash to be put in a glass so I could distinguish between one of the beers I wanted to purchase a four pack of. Nicole the manager at the time would not allow that to happen. I had to have a full 5/6 ounce beer pot poured just to pour out so I could smell it. I spent over $200 at the facility and the inability to let you smell a splash of beer that you want to purchase it's just mind blowing it made me feel like I would not want to come here with the same management. Please fix management end and relax your so-called rules on samples. Thanks PS your pinball machines are so cool.

Definitely worth a visit - superior brewery location - very open classic old architecture. Looks like a cathedral but learned it was a train repair factory made of Stone. The beer is the best reason to visit and they have some world class beers. I am bringing back several 4 packs to share the ND love in California
