OK so I wrote a review a little while back about how the vegan food options had become fewer and less impressive. Then, we returned recently and voila! The vegan options are more - and they're amazing! I highly recommend the vegan Stromboli - it comes with olives on the side and is just incredible! How they made tofu taste so believably like ricotta is beyond me...bravo! And especially for a brewery! I love the ciders they host here, so that's what I had with my Stromboli. Not a big fan of the particular styles of beer they tend to have (I like things like Black IPA, Mexican Lager, brown ale, west coast IPA...), but that's ok - we can't have everything. Lots of people love their beer - just not my style. Also...I just love the staff - they're friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun!! Great work, friends!

Great selection of craft beers, food was good too! Fresh made

Needed vaccination card to get served, which was at home an hour away. Never been anywhere that had this policy, ridiculous. Their policy is on their website but it is all the way at the bottom and is not something I normally check for when most similar businesses do not require your vaccination card to be served, just a mask which I was wearing.

My friend and I looked for a restaurant that requires vaccination, and this place was one of a small number, and I am SO GLAD I found it. Food was fabulous and servers were friendly and food was quickly delivered. I had: Beef Short RibTmave braised beef short rib, rainbow carrots, pan roasted potatoes, gremolata. It was so good I almost wept when it was all gone.

Amazing bar. Wonderful food selections. Checked vaccinations status, too. Glad to see and will be back again.

Dipa Brah is great

Great food, great beer, decent prices. I really appreciate that they have flights under $10 and beer over 15% ABV on tap. Proof of vac ID is required inside and everything is good and clean.

So...had our 1st experience with being turned away because we didn't have our "papers" with us. Wouldn't even let us sit outside and order. I know losing 2 customers won't make or break them but I can't help but seriously wonder how letting us sit outside and spend our money would affect their clientele. If you're into that then definitely visit this brewery I guess. As for us...there are plenty of food and beer places to spend our money on...liberals can have this place

Good beer, good food, friendly helpful staff. First time visit and I had a rasberry sour and tuna BLT with a side of pan-fried potatoes. Everything was delicious. The staff treated us like we were old friends. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing beer and out-of-this-world food! Fresh locally grown ingredients and unique but delicious menu items! Anything with pork is a winner!Outstanding & friendly staff who keeps the place spotless!
