Review:
Some craft breweries, as you walk up to them, you can smell the aromas of the brewing process. As you walk up to this brewery, all you can smell is the amazing BBQ smoking aromas. If you come here, plan on having some of their food, it is amazing. We enjoyed sitting at the bar visiting with the beer tender. I strongly recommend the smoked brisket grilled cheese with your beer.
