After stopping briefly at the Normal location, my wife and I wanted to try the shiny new Champaign location. We had a very nice dinner with family and everyone's food was fantastic! Menu items were upscale compared to most brewpubs,(Wagyu beef burgers,)and included the decadent beer battered bacon strips.
The locale is nice, and one can gaze at the whiskey barrels filled with beer surrounding the entrance to the restaurant. Our wait-staff were very helpful and attentive.
They have an extensive list of house beers with around 11-12 on tap when we were around. All were pretty good, better than the Normal location's beers. A bourbon barrel aged Imperial stout was quite good. Truffle red ale was an experience, but not a great one!
Overall, I would certainly recommend trying this place out.

Great location, there is a parking deck attached to the building and free parking in the evening next to the building. Seating was very nice and great view of downtown Champaign. They had a lot of beers on tap that they make in house about 12 on tap. Many different styles of beer, from porter, IPA, whits, and some fruit infused beers. For most of the beers they had three different sizes to chose from a 4 oz, 12 oz and 16 oz and the prices were great. The food was fantastic and well priced, we got an appetizer, entree and desert and were very satisfied. Service was great and we did not wait too long for anything.
