We're an established brew pub with 5-12 core beers, plus seasonal releases and guests over 26 taps. We have a fantastic kitchen pumping out 1000+ upscale pub classic meals a week and a 250–500 capacity that hosts live music, trivia, and a beer garden. We're family-friendly by day and looking to build a solid scene for the 18–28 crowd after 7pm.
