    Walked in around lunch on a Friday. Plenty of seating, and we found Parking on the street right outside. Restrooms clean, street traffic a bit noisy, but still enjoyable atmosphere. Staff very friendly and quick to provide service. A beer I wanted to try was our, but no worries. Flight can be as few or as many as you'd like. Which I appreciate. 2 to 3 is good for me! 4 is pushing it lol Food was great. Got a chicken salad with fries. Everything came out quick and hot. Would definitely dine here again!

    Continuing the craft brewery journey... I do love trying craft beer all over the country as each region of the country offers different hops, styles and recipes to make the craft beer journey a time of highlights in these kinds of wonderings. For this brewery I had what I think was one of their more popular beers. The Satellite Surfer which was an New England IPA. I do so enjoy these types of IPA'S that actually come from the east. The knowledge of these beers and perfection of flavor for a pretty specific IPA is almost always well made and well handled from that sector of the country... probably because it originated around there. The Satellite Surfer has all of the hazy, hoppy, citrus and grassy flavor you come across with these IPA'S which was a contribution to being a bit snobby on what is a good New England IPA.

    Food was great. Service was a tad above average but not superb and the environment was pleasant. The music wasn't overly loud. We had the pretzel bites & onion rings which were fantastic. I had the cheese steak which lacked something but was tasty. My husband had the Garlic parm wings (and drizzled w buffalo sauce) which were fantastic. The truffle fries were excellent. A friend had Bantum which she said was quite yummy. My husband tried 2 different beers but didn't care of either. I am not an alcohol drinker so I have no feed back on alcohol.

    This place has been on the bucket list for some time. We decided to take a drive up to Butler and check out the place. We arrived and were greeted to sit anywhere. We found a location and reviewed the beers and I asked about the flight and she said it's a la carte, pick what you want. I selected the Hazy IPA Soft Top, Hop Marsh (but wasn't available), S'mores Mountain Pie, Bantam and Luna. The s'mores I liked because it wasn't something that you made you full. It was smooth and had a wonderful taste to it. The Luna was delicious but reminded me of Quinn Brewery's version but no complaints and ultimately my favorite was the Hazy IPA. They have a wide range of food to choose from. I had the ragin cajuin chicken sandwich which was the bomb. It tasted so good and had a ragin affect about it for sure. In addition, shared with my wife who had chicken sliders. Both were good. I want to come back here and try other food options, it's a hike of a drive but worth the drive. If you're seeking a place with good beer and food, hands down got to come here. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.

    Philly's cheese steak/ with a salad

    Service was great our waitress/Bartender Emily was awesome. I got the Philly cheesesteak and salad. Cheesesteak was ok, but the side salad was really good. They do have a lot of IPA's. I recommend getting the sample to see which ones you like.

    This was our final stop of the night on a Butler Brewery Tour. The kitchen was closed for the night so I cannot speak to the food. Although I saw online the menu was limited, especially for me as a vegetarian, so we ate earlier in the night. First off, this place is really nice inside. I loved the look, especially the wood details on the wall. The bar was nice. The tables were interesting. It is small inside but we had no problem getting a table. I ordered a flight of four to try. The flight consisted of Pistil Wheat, Carvers Pumpkin Ale, La Noche Triste, and Hunker Down. The wheat was the best of the bunch, which surprised me. I'm normally about dark beers. It had a unique taste to it. The pumpkin was okay, but certainly nothing to stand out when there is a sea of pumpkin beers out there. The La Noche Triste had a weird taste to it, which I couldn't quite place. The Hunker Down was honestly pretty bad. I know the description says star anise, but that is ALL you can taste. Four of us tried the beer and no one wanted to drink it. A few of the beers were drinkable, but nothing to bring me back. It's disappointing because I liked the look of the place. It would have been nice if the beers lived up to it. After going here I spoke to a few separate people who also weren't impressed. Go to Missing Links or Recon if you are in the Butler area.

    I stopped by here a couple of Saturdays ago with my wife for some lunch and drinks. The inside of Butler Brew Works is what I would consider to be industrial chic. The ceiling is a couple of stories high and has exposed I-beams and ductwork while the lighting is done nicely with some unique Edison bulbs. They have one massive wall that is completely done with reclaimed wood which is really cool and then a brick wall behind the taps. The bar itself is made of concrete and they have huge picture windows behind it where you can look into their production area. Finally they have a random assortment of high top and low top tables scattered around the bar where you can sit as well. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. They don't have a set number of beers in a flight and instead have a flight price for each beer which means you can mix and match as many or as little as you want. On this day I decided to stick with the usual four and chose the Creekside Kolsch, C Creature 2019 (IPA), Go Devil (Gose) and Sea Siren (sour). I first started out with the Creekside Kolsch which was a solid representation of a kolsch with a smooth start and that kolsch finish. Second was the C Creature 2019 and it was made with all local hops and malts. It's a nice IPA with the hops coming in at the finish and while definitely present, they are not overpowering. Third was the Go Devil which starts off sour before finishing with that dryness and saltiness I love in a gose. Last but not least was the Sea Siren which started off with, surprise surprise, sour before you really get those tropical flavors on the finish, especially the guava. My wife also noted the passionfruit flavor in the finish and on a second sip I really did pick up on it at the end of the finish. After I had finished all of those we were given a complimentary flight taster of the Merging Paths because our food was taking awhile. It was a Belgian that tasted like those Belgian yeasts right out of the gate but had a nice tart finish from the cherries and plum which was quite nice, even if I am not a huge Belgian fan. Out of the bunch I have to say that Sea Siren was my favorite due to those tropical flavors and that the Gose and IPA were both very good as well. For lunch on this day I decided to go with the special which was the secret weapon stir fry. The specials board described it as sautéed red peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, shredded carrots, garlic and sliced onions over bahn pho rice noodles and tossed in "secret weapon" sauce. It also said that it came with soup or salad which I didn't think about until I actually got my meal but I never received it. Instead I got the beer which for me wasn't a bad trade off. As I mentioned above, it took a little while to get our food but it wasn't long enough that we were questioning it. Whenever it finally did come out, it was worth the wait. I loved all of the vegetables in my stir fry and thought that it made it all feel really healthy. The noodles provided a nice carb to the dish and then the sauce was tasty too. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I thought that both the food and beer was really good and would love to try more of both.

    Solid IPA.

I never could understand why people eat outside in downtown places where cars drive by them 5 feet away. The beers were OK, nothing really special but OK. They have a little bar outside so getting a refill was quick and easy. The don't serve any kind of hard spirits. My wife isn't a beer drinker so one of the bartenders at the inside bar mixed her up a drink with seltzer and something else(tea) which she found to be quite tasty, so i tipped her generously for having the ambition to please a customer. Where they fell down IMO was their pizza. It just wasn't very good. We had several versions of their Sicilian to choose from. The cheese was generous, but the crust was doughy and heavy, the sauce was flavorless, and the toppings were very stingy. A big piece of Sicilian pizza with 3 slices of pepperoni is not good. I checked out their menu and was stunned at the prices they are getting for those pizzas. WAY overpriced. Of course i didn't have to pay for them since it was a party, but knowing what their pizza is like i would never go back there and pay those prices. The wings were just OK, pretty mediocre. Parking is a joke. No where near enough spots for the size of the place. Overall it was just OK, i would not return. There are better places for the same or less money.

    Actually, I rate Gristhouse Beer Crib at 4.5, but have no option to do so…read more Familiar with the Millvale location, I did a double take when we passed this Rt 8 location because we had just moved into the area. It didn't take us long to make this a regular place to go. The beers are great, although my favorites are juicy IPAs and I tend toward this style. The staff there is mostly friendly, we all have off days. ;) The food, from Freedom Farms, is very good and offers generous portions. I deducted a half point from my review because they do not keep an updated menu on their website. The beer selection is updated regularly, though. We went last week, expecting to have dinner and beer to get us out of the house because we were going winter stir-crazy, and were surprised to find food truck-style offerings from a bbq place instead of our favorite Freedom Farms fare.. It was pretty good, but as a warning to those who are unfamiliar, when you order "pulled brisket" what you get is a scoop of meat in a paper bowl. There was a brocolli salad that sounded good for $5, but at that point the line was long and I just didn't want to bother. Husband thought that the pulled pork mac&cheese was really good. I will return again on a Thursday to check out the taco food truck, it may be more what I want from a meal. Can't wait for warmer weather, we love sitting outside in the greenhouse area.

It has about half the tap list vs the millvale location, not sure if that was just due to the end of the weekend or if that's normal. But only 5-6 beers. Thoroughly enjoyed this stop, wish it was closer!
