A brand new craft brew house doing micro batches, so there is a wide variety to experiment with. Expect to feel like you walked over to your neighbour's house to try some craft beer while listening to vinyl in their garage (because that is literally what it is). Open Friday - Sunday afternoons until 8pm (for now -- they're that new).
