    Enjoyed the sliders. Husband & I shared the pot roast & bbq pork. Crispy fries, big side of slaw (kind of dry). Nice atmosphere, good service. My Mom is vegan and they put a special dish together.

    Overall the brews are excellent - seasonals were great but the regular craft rocks with a very unique hefe and perhaps the best pale ale I've ever had! Largest flight I've ever encountered and soo del

    The Jack Porter & Drago Imperial Stout are awesome. The Oktoberfast is OK. Overall the beer selection is very good with a good mix of the darks & IPAs. Excellent atmosphere, great deck for the summer

    Huge flights of beer. Very good service. Excellent french fries. The prime rib sandwich was underwhelming and not a great value.

    Best brewery in the far northwest suburbs. Hop Slayer is an equal if not better than Founder's Double Trouble.

    The place is quaint, the beer is ok but stay away from the pizza. It is quite strange. I recommend staying with the pub fare.
