I'll share the good and bad about this brewery. A brewery's main business has to be the beer and the beer was very good. The New Wave Spiced Amber Ale and the Kronos IPA were outstandingly good. We enjoyed these beers in a beautiful modern tap room that was immaculately clean. I really wish we could have stayed to have more. The problem was the parking. After having one flight, we pondered the uncertainties with where we parked and the conflicting signage out by the railroad tracks and decided we would lose any argument with a tow truck driver if it came down to that. Before we even decided to come here, we researched it to make sure it had parking. A number of reviews said parking was around the back, and that was correct. When we pulled up, we saw vehicles occupying 6 of the 8 parking spaces. The other two had cones blocking them. Across the street, there were 3 cars backed in perpendicular to the street in front of railroad tracks. However, there were signs saying you needed to park in front of utility poles that ran along the tracks. It was close, but it looked like the back of all 3 cars were even with or a little behind the line of poles. Then we noticed another set of signs along the tracks that clearly marked it as a tow zone. The only option seemed to be to ask if I could move one of the cones and park out of harm's way. I parked next to the cars by the tracks and we walked in. The barmaid was very friendly but explained that the boss wanted the cones there for the rest of the day because there would be an event there at night. I didn't plan to stay that long, but it didn't matter. The barmaid said no one could park in those two spaces, but I could park anywhere else I wanted. That didn't help! We also noticed there were only 3 other customers present in the tap room. So why were there 6 cars parked legally outside? And 3 more across the street parked questionably? It was a slow day at the brewery and this just didn't add up. We ordered a flight of beer, since we were there. The flights are a la carte here, as if we wanted to buy individual sample servings. We enjoyed them but finished them quickly and left because of the ambiguities around parking Unfortunately,we won't be back, either, after seeing the inexplicable cones blocking potential customers from parking there.
