The beers are excellent, and the seating options are pleasant both indoors and outdoors. The food is quite good as well, whenever it's available.

Out of the three breweries in town, this one is my favorite. My wife and I really enjoy IPAs, and they offer a regular IPA, a double IPA, and a Belgian triple. The atmosphere is pleasant, the prices are reasonable, and there's an outdoor patio that faces east, providing shade in the evening.

There is no nearby parking available. It’s quite loud, making it difficult to have a conversation with others. The beer is just average and slightly overpriced. As for the food, it’s not impressive. I think it’s best to leave Mexican cuisine to those who are experts in it.

Beer was good but the tacos not so much. Rather go to a place that sells the authentic Mexican tacos.
