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

I went to the Tuckerman Brewing Co. for a visit one Saturday. I had their beer before, but it wasn't memorable enough to recall.
The atmosphere was very relaxed, the owners gave the tour and poured the samples themselves.
I had thier new stout the 6288'. It had a terriyaki essence to it. I'm not sure what malt it is, but it doesn't work well.
Headwall Alt was not very memorable either.
Their Pale Ale is pretty good, to the point where I even have ordered it on tap at local restaurants. It's an easy drinking beer.

This review is based off of only their pale ale, so don't let the low score fool you, I had to give them average numbers because I don't have all the info!

I could not make it to their tour which I think is only at 3:00 on Saturdays, but having a tour alone says something. It seems a lot of small breweries are shying away from tours.

I picked up some pale ale from a local store and was impressed. The beer tasted real fresh for picking it up off a warm shelf at the local Rite Aid, and I had to go back to get more because it went down extremely smooth. It was hoppier than the neighboring Woodstock Brewery pale ale, but not extremely hoppy, so it still might not satisfy some of those extreme IPA drinkers. If I lived in the area and could get it fresh on a regular basis, it might be on of my staple beers.
