We popped into this delightful place for comedy night on Halloween…read more The venue is cozy and bright. There are three seating areas offering quite a bit of seating. Locating parking can be a bit of a chore if the Old Town area is busy or there is construction but finding street parking isn't that difficult. The vibe was chill and welcoming. Seemed to be several regulars but we didn't feel like outcasts. The bar is self service, meaning there are no waiters. You order at the bar at take back to your table. They offer seltzers and beers, both were decent. The food truck however, was the winner for the evening! Everything we tried was full of flavor and just delicious. Once you order your food at the truck, they give you a number and bring your food to you. Simple system. After you have indulged and are ready to go, clear your table and the stations provided and go about your way. Looking forward to returning for some of their other events and food!

This was a fun stop. We popped in for a beer and had a lovely time…read more Ben was pouring beers and charming guests. He has a great energy that adds to the vibe in this place. I got a pint of their stout, being the dark beer girl that I am. It was roasty and delicious. My husband had the black IPA. I tried that too and yum! We decided to split a flight. I chose the brown and their porter. My husband chose the DIPA and the American IPA. All solid brews. This would be worth a re-visit on another MI trip.

The beer here leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. Vienna lager was ok. "Name this beer" was…read morenot good. It had almost a medicinal/sour taste to it.

Great spot and not too far away you can actually buy real swords and stuff. So make it a day trip!

The fries were too spicy to eat and sitting in deep oil (not chili sauce). Wanted ranch but nobody was around to serve us. Service: The waiter took our order then disappeared for the remainder of our time there. The bartender served our food, the disappeared. We had to flag someone down for condiments, napkins and silverware, a refill (not free, but didn't say as much), and our bill. The bill we received and the price they charged was at least $6 because they totally changed it when they scanned my credit card. Ambiance was ok. They had a band arriving. But no staff. An odd experience, probably won't go back given the extra charges on my credit card and lack of service.

Our waitress has at least four other tables plus our party of 15. Way too much to handle. The kitchen staff must be understaffed as well because, well, we are still waiting for cold food to be delivered. If the guitar/singer wasn't here I know I would have stabbed my eyes out by now. This restaurant clearly has many opportunities for training! I recommend writing down our orders. Delivering food when it's hot. I can't wait to see how out individual checks are gunna go. We may be here till dawn

Staff was so friendly and totally on it. Food and beer were both great. We will be back - 100%!!!!read more

This is one of the best places to eat/drink in Mason!…read more The beers and ciders here are very well crafted and served at a very reasonable price compared to many other breweries. The food is also next level too, absolutely love their wings and tots! As far as ambiance goes, this place has a rustic/modern looking interior with a vibrant and inviting exterior seating area that even has heated seating during the winter! If you're curious about the vibes at this brewery, I'd say it really depends on when you go. I've never seen it wild and energetic but I'm certain it can be on the weekends at night. If you're looking for a more tame experience, I'd go earlier in the day, probably before 6. Regardless of the time of day, day of week or how busy they are though, the staff is always on point while being super friendly and helpful! If you live in the area and you haven't been to Bad, you gotta check it out! If you're not from around here, I promise it's worth the drive!!!

In fact, after my visit, I think I actually appreciate its rough appearance. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was entering "the real deal" of craft; nothing fancy - just quality. In addition to his beers, he also makes his own spirits and the whiskey was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not a huge whiskey guy so I'm sure a "snobby" person may have a different opinion but it's most definitely worth a shot during your visit. The owner, who was working behind the bar, was extremely personable and seemed to make quick friends with every guest that came in. You could tell he takes a lot of pride in his craft. I will be back and will make sure I bring others with me to experience this hidden gem.

When you pull into the parking lot, it can be hard to tell which building the brewery was in. Particularly since there was snow covering the signs. Once we figured it out it was an adventure from there! The ambiance... It reminded me of a mix between a basement bar from the 70s and an old West bar. The owner, Bobby, was awesome! He was so friendly and relatable. We learned all about his farm, his family, and his animals. Love it! He introduced us to his amazing black garlic gin. I mean it was delicious!!! He made a great bloody Mary with it, and it was one of the best I have had. He also sent us home with some garlic and horseradish! We tried some interesting black garlic which was the consistency of a gummy bear and delicious. I can't wait to go back in the summer months. It was such a beautiful place!
