    This place takes the prize for the most unique brewery we've encountered in our travels - and we've been to a lot, like over 230 lot! It's like a beer oasis in the middle of the woods! including fire pits and picnic tables

    Support local business!! I live in Indianapolis but my hometown is close to the Big Thorn Brewery. I was visiting for the holiday weekend. This place is really in the middle of nowhere but it's so good! They have great beer that changes monthly / weekly. In the summer their outdoor tree house is open. They have a food truck with amazing food! Make sure to check it out when you are in the area.

    Service and people were great and the beer was really good! They need more food options like snacky food or finger foods. Would have like a big pretzel or nachos or tacos or something that goes more with beer than rice bowls ‍ I didn't eat anything because it all seemed so heavy and complicated. It's out there but what a perfect place when you have a perfect fall day and just want to relax and enjoy some good beer.

    Food and beer were great and the atmosphere was awesome! We sat in the tree bar and enjoyed the breeze.

The food took over 30 minutes, which wouldn't be a deal breaker, if it was hot. The fries were cold. That's a death sentence in my opinion. The burger was fine, though not hot, at least warm enough. Sorry, maybe impressive for some, but not for this guy. I would have been happier at the BBQ joint across the street.

Though it looks unremarkable from the outside, inside, you'll find a wonderful restaurant where the staff is highly invested in making sure you have a great meal. My companion enjoyed a lovely Old Fashioned to start. I ordered the Turkey stroganoff, while he had the shrimp and grits. When the plates came out, I thought the veil was finally about to slip. They were well-plated, but huge. And yet...the veil didn't slip. It was haute-cuisine comfort food goodness in what looked like a converted warehouse space. Unreal! Though turkey is often too dry, my stroganoff was moist and succulent. The sauce was much more than just cream of mushroom -- lots of flavor and not too much salt. We had a time of it. I'd happily come back here again and again.

They also have kombucha, THC beverages, drinks with mushrooms and adaptogens, and other fun drinks. Despite my booze-inclusive lifestyle, I can recognize when a place that's not made for me is really freaking cool. All of you teetotalers in Lafayette are lucky, because Generation NA is amazing and has so many non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy. They even have slushies! You gotta love this place. Mostly, this is a grab-and-go store for all of your non-alcoholic beverage needs. Just pop in and be amazed by the quantity and quality of the NA bevs available to you. The people who work here are also very friendly and helpful, so they can direct you to your perfect drink, if you're unsure.

First the store is uniquely stocked with THC products, adaptogens, N/A beer, wine, spirits and kombucha. We met the co-owner Summer and she was so nice and informative. Her employee, whom sadly I forgot her name, was also very friendly and helpful. Lastly, the ambiance is so cool and gives you good vibes. They have pinball machines and retro arcade games. There's a little couch and a bar to just chill out and enjoy your beverage. Also, I nice little table and seats are right in front of the store. Generation N/A really has an aura about it.

    When I booked a hotel in lil ol Paris, Illinois I was not hopeful their would be a brewery. Lo and…read morebehold I am happy that there is! Lot 50 is brewery #306 for me. Lot 50 has tables out front as well as a big space inside with a large concrete bar. I don't know what it is I like about concrete bars, but I like 'em. It wasn't very busy at 4:15 on Friday with just two couples sitting out front. I was the only one at the bar. As I was sitting at the bar I noticed there was a YUGE outdoor area off to the side. Lights and all it would be a great spot for a concert when the weather is good. Batch 59 DIPA was really nice! I may be getting inured hops but this one was really smooth. Great flavor all the way through. I think even SWPFTD would enjoy this one. Clurichaun red ale was next. I immediately wondered about the name but right there on the paper menu it said, "Named after the leprechauns drunken, mischievous cousin". I thought leprechauns were mischievous to begin with and being Irish I just assumed they were drunken! Don't get your panties in a wad and all offended, my wife is Irish and I'm Scottish. Besides, the Irish can take a joke! Anyway, this was a very good malty red ale. Stagecoach coffee blonde just didn't work for me. It's probably partially due to my favorite coffee blonde was at a brewery in my former hometown that we frequented weekly for years. You can taste nostalgia sometimes. Shoutout to Sons of Liberty Aleworks! We miss you! Anyway, this was not a bad beer at all, just not quite what I wanted. YMMV of course. The Honeybee brown ale looked more like an amber ale by color. Even by flavor I could have mistaken this for a festbier. That said I truly did enjoy it. I would order another for sure. Last beer for me...notice I said last "beer". Last beer for me was the Frosted Court St stout. A collaboration with "Frosted by Maddie". I don't know for sure what that means but I'm guessing a bakery since it mentions a stout crossed with red velvet cake. This was pretty darn good. I can't say I got the red velvet cake flavor out of it but it was a good beer. As I was hanging out at the bar, you know, doing that drinking and Yelping thing I do, I noticed they had two meads that were brewed in house as well. Sold! The Twisty Foo Orange Creamsicle mead was very tasty. I wouldn't have pegged it as "orange dreamsicle" without a hint but that might be me. Last was the Cosmic Fudge Plum Brownie mead. What do you classify that as? A melomel I guess since it has plum in it. I don't know what you call mead that is brownie flavored. If I had ever smelled and tasted a plum fudge brownie, this is EXACTLY WHAT IT WOULD TASTE LIKE. That is...if it were a mead. The flavors were legit but I didn't love the mead. I like the Twisted Foo better myself. If you are in the area, stop in a Lot 50. I enjoyed it! If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.
