Each option was extremely hoppy. They do provide the IBU ratings (which is a nice touch), and according to the board, they range from a mild 30 to an outrageous 118. However, perhaps my judgment was clouded since this was the fourth brewery we visited that day, but it felt like all of their beers exceeded 50 IBU. Keep in mind that while IBUs are a measure of bitterness, factors like ABV also influence how the flavors are perceived. In short, if you love hoppy or bitter beers and ambiance isn't a priority for you, it might be worth the long trek up the peninsula to give this place a try.
