Arrived with a party of 8, including one 13yo, on a Wednesday at 7:30pm. Easily found a table in the back, despite it apparently being a trivia night - I had tried to find a brewery that did NOT have anything going on that night, which is why I chose Maple Branch, so I was a little disappointed (their trivia night was not being advertised online).
The other disappointment was pulling into the parking lot (first time visitor) and seeing that half of it is dedicated to Tesla drivers. My personal opinion about Tesla aside, pairing this unique parking lot with the fact that all the normal spots were full and only 2 or 3 Tesla spots were full made it extra annoying to have to find parking elsewhere.
It was a cooler evening and the patio was muddy from recent rain, so everyone was inside but again, we found an accommodating table fairly easily.
Staff was very patient with our large group ordering in the same tab. Drinks are served immediately, and some of the food came out quickly (pretzel, Caesar salad, Reuben sandwich) while the pizzas took forever. The aforementioned food had all been demolished and empty trays sitting awhile before the pizzas arrived.
The pretzel was delicious! So was the Caesar. My partner said the Reuben was good but not in his top 5, but it's a brewery so he wasn't expecting an incredible sandwich. When the pizzas finally arrived, they were fine but not the best woodfired pizzas we've had by any means.
Now, the beer! The main event. My partner, father, and brother in law had a few beers each and seemed to enjoy all of them. My palette for beer is very limited (I like sours and the occasional gose) and my goodness, the Casa Limonada gose was SO good. So light and refreshing, it really just tastes like a spiked lemonade.
I would go back to Maple Branch just for the pretzel and a glass of that gose.
Overall, we had a good time! Trivia/music was loud but we were still able to hold conversations and enjoy our night together. Thanks, Maple Branch!
