I stopped in here recently for a Saturday afternoon tasting. It's in an industrial area near the shore, and they have very limited parking (but you can really park anywhere your car fits, since it's very much out of the way). They had about 12 beers available for tasting (some of which were only available for tasting), and they give out free flights of 5 beer samples. Plus, they have free popcorn.

I tried Oil City (an India Black Ale), Cairn (a strong Scotch Ale), Saazsquash (Butternut Squash Ale), and Bittersweet (American Pale Ale). I forgot the last one. Each of them were well made, but to be honest I wasn't blown away by any of the favors. Oil City and Cairn were a bit too strong, Saazsquash seemed like the result of someone just wanting to make a Butternut Squash beer, etc. I can definitely see how some people with different tastes would like these beers, and given that I only tried 5 out of the 30 or so listed on their website, they probably have some beers I'd enjoy - I just need to make a couple more trips there before I find out which they are.

This person needs 3 or more reviews on the site for their scores to start counting.

This is a nanobrew kind of place and the truly craft brews are very fine. A highly local brewery with less than 2000 sq ft. While there is not much of it, all the eqpt is new and clean. The only time you van be sure to get a growler filled is Sat. afternoon before 4 and there might be room for 4 cars on a good day. Walking on you see all the ingredients and the people that make your beer. You can taste and talk beer all you like and everyone is passionate about the product. It feels like family here. We need about a thousand more of these places on our beermaps.
