When you first enter EBC, you might wonder if you're in the right place. No bar or tables in sight when you walk through that door on the side of a cinder-block barn in an industrial park by the airport, just some dusty production space, and a folding chair holding a bell with the words "Ring for Beer" printed on the side. We did, and shortly heard a voice inviting us to come into the adjacent tasting room (open only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).
On premises, you're limited to tastes only--four ounce sample pours, drawn from open cans, are available. Beer to go comes in cans, which you can purchase singly, or in six packs with whatever selections you like. Six pack purchases earn a 15% discount, which is nice since the beer is a bit on the expensive side (see menu pics below).
Our favorites were the Marzen and the rye barrel imperial stout (the one that really knocked it out of the park!). The brown ale was excellent too.
The man behind the bar was very pleasant to talk to and knowledgeable about beer generally. He told us their beers are available at about 20 local stores, as well as on tap in some bars. I hope to see some of those in the future, or perhaps some extended hours for the tasting room.
