They have a great selection of beers from light to hoppy to dark to sours. Staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. It's the only brewery in Hutchinson but they are definitely a stand out. TO-GO: They have beers to go. Just ask. SWAG: They have lots of swag from hats to shirts to tackers. They have quite a bit of swag. PARKING: They have a private parking lot. We went during a not so busy day and a busy day and we didn't have any problems finding a spot. You won't have a problem either. FOOD: On Saturday, there was a BBQ Food Truck. I'm guessing they have rotating Food Trucks. You can also bring in your own food. We brought in pizza from Jimmy's and they also offer free delivery to the brewery and the pizza is good. This place was recommended by another beer-tender in Perham and I would HIGHLY recommend coming here. We will definitely return if we are ever back in town.

Bottom Line: A wonderful alternative addition to the usual…read more"meat, potatoes, & gravy" dining found in Litchfield. Menu is imaginative, if rather limited, and very well executed. On our visit, staff was in top form & delightful. Top Line: I hit up the Half Bushel Brewing crew for lunch with a friend one day. Interior is a delightful mix of rustic and traditional decor left from The Glory Days of this building. Seating was comfortable enough and music was low enough not to inhibit conversation. I had a glass of their American Stout. It was roasty toasty on the flavor front so appropriately flavored. The body however was really super light for a stout. It lacked the creamy mouth feel that I look for in stouts. There were also some bitter'ish notes in the flavor profile that rang more toward the IPA side of life, and away from the chocolate & coffee notes commonly found. So the beer was about a three-star affair. If they have their coffee stout on hand next time I stop in, I'll certainly be giving that a try. Our barkeep Stephanie on the other hand was a 10 star, gold standard, bright, energetic, enthusiastic, sparkling personality who lit up the whole place!! An absolutely delightful addition to our dawdling lunch. I had chicken pesto panini sandwich. Taste was diverse & complex. Crunchy outer texture of toasted bread contrasted nicely with sumptuous fillings. Easy candidate for repeat ordering. I sampled the naan & pesto that was beautifully presented. Naan was chewy soft pillowy bites. Pesto had the basil-garlic dance going on, so it was delightful too. If you're in the Litchfield area, stop in and spend some pleasant time with the Half Bushel Brewing crew.
