A pretty busy place with locals and people from other areas. There's about what's expected on the menu it seems. Before even coming in there's a smell of barbecue. It's got a pretty full menu. There's a bar in the middle surrounded by plenty of tables. Beers are the main thing of course. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Coldstream Lager. This is a full bodied Bavarian style. A lot of the food is meaty. Brisket and that kind of stuff. Among the appetizers is the Cowboy Caviar. One of the few vegetarian options. This is a mixture of beans, cilantro, corn, jalapeños, red onions, and tomatoes. It's about $16 for the Tex-Mex Bowl. This has avocado, cilantro rice, Cowboy Caviar, marinated cucumbers, pico de gallo, and Thai sauce. Of course an option is to get it with meats added. There's plenty more things including burgers and pork belly tacos among the livestock based foods. For around here it's one of the better places for big crowds. It's got beers and barbecue along with some healthier options. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

This is a fantastic little stop to make when driving the Great River Road. The ambience on the…read moreoutdoor patio is serene and peaceful; watching the traffic on the river literally feet away was an awesome experience. The bartender behind the bar was very helpful and welcoming--far better than this brewery's sister property in Dyersville. I strongly recommend the beers as seen on my flight card--all were very tasty, yet had distinct flavor profiles. Do yourself a favor and get a scoop of the flavored peanuts they have behind the bar--they serve as a nice compliment to your beer.

Amazing place, and yes, it is dog friendly!…read more I did send a message to them about the dog. They quickly make me feel comfortable by allowing me to come in with a dog to order beers and food before going outside. I was by myself with a dog. I was so relieved because some ace would not allow. It was difficult for me when I was alone. The bartenders did the excellent job too! Their beers are amazing. I love their Rhubarb Dew and Rural Route Stout. I do enjoy their pretzel. I saw the menu of pretzel. That's the sign that I would love to come back for another visit when I am back in town to visit my family.

Checked out this brewery in Freeport after coming across other places that had their beers…read more Generations is one of the main reasons to come here. It certainly has quite a few things on tap. A lot more in cans. They also have a few snacks. By the looks of the outside it wasn't anything special, just like a warehouse or something common. It's a lot more interesting inside. The taproom has enough room for the bar, and quite a few tables. Got a view into the back to see where the beers are made. There's a balcony where bands can play live music too. Beers are why people come of course. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Tawny Ale. This is an Irish Red of medium strength. It's about $12 for a soft pretzel. These are massive so they're great for sharing. One of the dips looked like peanut butter. This was actually fudge if you can believe it, and you can get cheese as well as mustard. For sure it's one of this city's main attractions. It's got lots of beers, and because it's in the Pretzel City, get one of those to munch on. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

They have a variety of beers and one named after Freeport the Pretzel City! They have lagers, pilsners and ales. The environment is relaxing and the building stands out ! Since the main road is under construction , GPS did not help, but after we realized it kept rerouting us to the closed road. If in the area, stop in. Also their beer can be found in many locations in the Rockford area and some Binnys.

We ordered our wines and wanted a charcuterie plate. Unfortunately, they do not offer that. There is a cooler with some cheese and spread offerings. It would've been lovely to have a charcuterie board premade. The view is beautiful as is the vineyard. We chose to sit at a table facing the vineyard and just admire the view. We also walked around the vines and the old barn. Lovely place. Highly suggest if you're in the area. They also have a brick and mortar store on Main Street in the town of Galena as well .
