I had all the options! We ordered the Death Grip IPA and Briéekraut Oktoberfest, which we both loved. We started our meal with an order of nachos to start, and they were covered in a delicious nacho "cheese" and a a chili. My meal was the loaded Mac n Cheezy Bowl - which was so incredible (especially when you don't need to worry about the amount of dairy in it!!). My husband got the Grilled Cheeze Steak Tacos and really enjoyed them! The taco is made with a mini quesadilla as the shell with a delicious filling. Our server was extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great experience. The restaurant definitely feels like a classic brewery with fun decorations and exposed brewing equipment, which is always awesome to see. Added plus is they have free Tesla charging for customers! (Possibly other electric car charging, but I didn't check) We will definitely be back!

Everyone Deserves a second Chance…read more I visited PSB on my lunch because they have a Plant based Gyro and that in itself is very difficult to find. They were steady for lunch but not nearly as busy as I expected at 1230 on a Friday. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very nice. She was very polite and attentive. I ordered the one thing I came for (obviously), and was surprised by how quickly It was ready. Something I appreciated as I was on lunch at work, so I had limited time to begin with. The Gyro was delicious! I got their pickled onions on the side as I wasn't sure how strong they'd be. They were actually very good and an excellent compliment to the gyro itself. The Gyro was served with Potato Wedges. These I could have done without, they differed in size so the cook was drastically different depending on which one you got. The small ones were almost over done and the large ones weren't cooked enough. The Sandwich was definitely the highlight of my meal. This place is so cool, Such a beautiful building with amazing outdoor seating. My other complaint is the price. $20+ for a sandwich (after tax) is outrageous. I am very happy to have tried it, It was delicious. I most likely won't go back for that sandwich though. Too many options around at a fraction of the price. This place definitely deserves to be tried by everyone. They are one of the best spots in all of Rockford.

Carlyle isn't as well known as the other breweries around here, but that's okay because there's not as much of a crowd. Has the more basic styles of beer and some more heavy ones. They also have pizzas and pretzels. Beers are mostly on the lighter side, but there's a few stronger ones of course. It's about $5 for the cheapest pints. That's a really great price for a craft brewery like this. Among these is the Blonde Ale. This is only at 4% ABV, but it's easy and smooth. Get one of the pizzas if sharing around. There's also pretzels. It's about $5 for a pretty big one. These are good for soaking up the alcohol, so you can try more things. For sure come here and get some cheap beers. It's among the best prices for a brewery around here. There's also good things to eat like pizzas and whatever.

The brunette bartender wouldn't acknowledge us at all--no eye contact, no response--even when we tried to ask a simple question, just moving on to the next customer. When we finally got to the blonde bartender, the experience didn't improve. She seemed uninterested in helping, rolled her eyes when we asked questions, and was dismissive when my wife asked if her drink could be made less sweet, saying "that's just how it is." I also asked a question about one of their bourbons and was told to go to the store where they could tell me, which didn't make much sense and would have meant starting the whole order process over again. We even overheard another customer mention they'd been dealing with the same attitude all night, so it didn't seem like an isolated incident. This was our second visit. The first time, on a similarly busy Sunday, everything was great--which makes this even more disappointing. Based on this experience, it will likely be our last visit.

This is the quintessential "hang out" brewery…read more The campus is massive with lots of stuff to do, both inside and out. I wish every small town in Wisconsin had a farm that was as lovingly transformed into a brewery as this one! There seems to always be something fun going on: a concert, a science talk, a festival, etc. I do think the beers need a little work though. The variety and creativity is definitely there, but the hoppy beers tasted a little oxidized and some of the sour fruit beers were a little over-the-top (more like a smoothie than a beer) for me. Some of the best brewery vibes around, definitely worth going out of your way to stop in!

The food menu is fairly limited with pizza and hot soft pretzels or cracker platters. While we waited for our pizza we snacked on some delicious dill pickle pretzel sticks. They had a number of flavors available for purchase. We had the meat lovers porker pizza. It didn't look like much when it arrived, but it had a thin layer of Canadian bacon under the cheese and pepperoni. The crust was thin and crispy and it had a great lightly smoked flavor; loved it. Bright clean facilities and friendly service. Great outdoor patio with a huge TV screen. Great for sports or music. Nice gift shop and plenty of parking. Had to take some 4 packs home!

I knew it would be a busy day, hence the reservation. I understand things were likely hectic for all the workers and I do emphasize with that. First issue was having to still wait for a table to open up as no table was actually being held. They were out of so many items we wanted to order. My fiancé ordered the duck bacon burger, yet they were out of the duck bacon and said they were substituting with standard bacon instead, and still charged the full $20. I understand items sell out, especially on busy days, but it seems a bit unfair to make the customer pay the same premium price for a lesser quality substitution they had no choice in choosing. Server brought the wrong drink, but my fiancé did not tell me until after we left or we would have said something. It was not a terrible experience and I've always raved about this place, but definitely feeling a bit disappointed considering how expensive it is to dine here. I would visit again but will avoid going here for any holiday as the subpar experience and price point was not worth it.

The prices are pretty okay on most things. Came in here recently and we got a few beers. It's about $8 a pint. There's stronger ones that are more expensive but still not that much though. Best one I tried was the Jam Session: Strawberry-Peach Crumble. This is a sour, a Berliner Weisse. Had a pretty good sweetness to it. The other one that was a favorite was the Galaxy 503, an IPA that's not too hoppy and has a sweet taste. Also they have mead and smoothies if you want something besides beer. The beer is good but there's a lot more. Has a pretty cool atmosphere. It only has beer and mead so there's no food menu. There sometimes will be food trucks on weekends.

How have I lived in Rockford for years and never heard of this place?! This is a hidden gem…read more There are many things going for this spot. It might be small, but it's mighty. A very long beer list, great whiskey options, and a full bar to start you off right. The food is good, and they run daily specials which you can find on the homepage of their website. We came on a Wednesday so I ordered a buffalo chicken salad and got $2 off. Between the rest of our family, we ordered the brat Mac n cheese (unique and delicious), wings (70 cents on Wednesdays), the Detour burger (my favorite of the bunch) and the Cobb salad. The salads were my least favorite (which I guess is not surprising). The service is good and it was not crowded which opened up the staff to make us feel very cared for. The biggest plus about this place is the value. Most of the menu options are under $10 (and that's not even with the daily special discounts applied) and worth every penny. The only negative I can think of is that I've been missing out all these years. Excited we've found another great hidden spot in Rockford!
