I love this place, and I always take guests here, especially the beer lovers! I don't drink beer, but I LOVE their fresh root beer on tap. Sometimes, I order a shot of vodka and add it to my root beer. The food is so delicious and locally derived. You can sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous view, or sit in the air conditioning inside. It's a fun atmosphere. Update: We had Meredith as our server, and she was so sweet and helpful. We ate the burger, grilled cheese, fry flight, cheddar ale soup, and chicken sandwich. All food was delicious!

Great vibes, beer, and food! I went full-on adult and had the grilled cheese, hand cut fries, and a Lakeside Lager. The beer went down smooth and the food was super fresh and excellent!

Quality place! Had the burger and it was top notch. So good. I loved the homemade fries. Beer garden outside was full so we couldn’t sit out there but it looked really nice. Plenty of parking.

Nice place with lots of space, friendly staff, a large variety of beer, prompt service, and good food. We had the white pizza which was very good and large enough to split between 2 of us. My husband had the Nut Brown Ale and Midnight Sun Black Lager which he enjoyed both very much. Disappointing that dogs aren't allowed but would visit again in our travels with it being one of the better breweries we've been to.

Speechless when I took the first bite of their Buffalo chicken pizza. We opted out of the bleu cheese crumbles and it was the best choice. If you like hot that is. The banana peppers are he only thing you need to make that pizza amazing. But everyone is so nice and the flight I got amazing. Vibes, intensity, I love it. Keep up the great work.

Visiting from Florida, I met with a friend I hadn't seen in 30 years at this highly recommended restuarant. We were seated quickly and proceeded to order food and drinks. Caught up in conversation we were told that we had to leave our table. Their policy is a 2 hour limit while seated in the restaurant. We had just ordered more food and drinks, and the server never alerted us to this "policy". A policy that is not advertised in the restaurant or on their website. Needless to say, we were confused and very disappointed. They moved us, our food and drink to a self service area. So, if you are going there to eat and run, great place. If you are there to enjoy a relaxing meal and conversation with friends, don't stay more than 2 hours in the restaurant as they will ask you to leave!

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT SO MUCH. It is quite literally the best restaurant I've been to. The homemade ketchup is AMAZING. I normally hate ketchup, but this stuff was SOO good. The cheddar ale soup is literally sooo delicious. You should definitely go here.

The staff seemed nice enough, but they seated us near the parking lot when we repeatedly asked to be seated closer to the lawn. The group of (white) people who came in at the same time as us got a seat at the lawn. We entered at 4 PM as the restaurant had just opened for dinner and all the seats were empty. The staff told us it would mess up rotation once we got a seat, but we did ask before we got one as well. It made absolutely no sense why we couldn’t get a seat anywhere other than 5 inches away from the parking lot on an empty terrace. We were the only brown people there. It felt as though the staff did not want us to be visible to the rest of the patrons. The lawn is gorgeous though, the beer delicious too. If you get a nice table that is. We were restricted to a view of the asphalt.

Food and service is good. However our last visit was cut short because you can’t sit with your dog outside. We ate quickly and went somewhere else that was dog friendly. There were many dogs waiting in cars in the parking lot unfortunately. IBC will unfortunately no longer be our post hike destination - I hope they reconsider the no pets rule, I’m sure we’re not the only ones…

Recently went to the taproom in C-town. Clean, modern restaurant. Hostess and bartender offered us conflicting info about ordering and eating a pizza. Eventually, we were told we couldn't order a pizza and take it outside to eat by ourselves b/c of lack of staff?? Only drinks and fries are allowed outside b/c of lack of staffing? Pizza we ordered was good. Prices overall are steep for us. NOTE: Manager/owner, please instruct the wait staff to wait until people are completely finished eating before coming over to ask if we want dessert or to settle up the bill. Not cool. It wasn't even busy at that time.
