Been here a couple times. The butter for the bread is awesome. Food is decent, along with the beers, also being okay. The atmosphere is just like any other roadhouse, dark, red neon lights, peanuts on the floor. The brewery looks cool. I have never actually seen anyone brew in there though. I have been there during lunch time. I recommend going there for the food, not the beer. not much more I can say about this place.

Interesting, sort of unexpected surprise location for a microbrewery. Brown derby is a chain steakhouse in Ohio, but this is the only location with a microbrewery. It is an average steakhouse, I wouldn't specifically go for the food.

The location is good, it is right off I-71 just west of the freeway and visible from the freeway. It is also the only brewery in Medina county, it is about a 35-40 minute drive from Cleveland.

Overall, the beer selection of microbrews was limited, 5 selections - Wheat, Belgian Tripel, Stout, Winter Spiced Ale and Lager. Overall, the Stout and Belgian Tripel were worth the trip, both were excellent. The lager and spiced ale were both very good as well, although I've had better than both of these. Did not try the wheat, however, that is supposedly their award winning beer. They also had a pretty good selection of rogue beers as well as a few other micro selections, probably around 15 micros besides their selections, not bad for the only option in the area.
