    a beer being poured into a glass

    If you're looking for a great spot to enjoy a cold craft beer this is it. No frills, great music, great staff and service. You need to get down here asap!

    Stopped by for 1st time. Overall a small spot with seating for about 15, and standing room for probably another 25. Overall generally nice & clean if a bit lacking in "character" When I went there were 8 on tap - and so tested out a flight. Details below. However I would say this place has a great diverse selection which reflects the brewmasters willingness to experiment and creat drinkable brews. You can go wrong to stop in and give the a shot! Dixie Chicken (pale ale) quite nice. Liked the smoke and chili pepper combination that stayed in my throat for a while. Revolution IPA. Ok pretty solid. Nothing unique or remarkable. Mysterious Ways. Belgian Strong. Not my cup of tea and not easy drinking. Needs work. Big Me. 2xIPA. Smells beautiful before you even taste a drop. Mosaic, Centennial and cascade hops. A tad bitter for IPA newbies but for hardcore IPA folks it's easy drinking. Brown Eyed- Girl. Very solid brown ale. Indicative of the brown ale style. You can't go wrong. Twist & Stout (cask version) so he cask style of this was super smooth, no carbonation, and allowed you to experience the flavor. I didn't have the regular version but this was promising. Little Darlin. Super citrus hops. Very light. Apparently one of their tops pours. Doesn't hang on the tongue much. Just ok, but easy drinking. Food/Snacks: Bags of chips, nuts, beef jerky. Suggestion: go to Costco get a big bucket of pub chips and put 'em out. Giving folks free salt might amp up drinks...and it just feels right! Otherwise there must be an aspiring chef (or the meat truck guy?) eager to partner with you on easy items that are microwaveable! (There's no kitchen to speak of)

We got two shareables and two handhelds - nachos, not-zarella, stratcity cheesesteak, sidewinder fries and sausage and peppers. The shareables were ok. The not-zarella and sidewinder fries had interesting sauces that were not to my taste. I had the cheesesteak but there was a lot of liquid in the sandwich which caused it to fall apart from what seemed to be from the premade and overcooked onions and peppers. I couldn't finish the sandwich because of the liquid and overcooked onions and peppers. While the food wasn't the greatest, the drinks and the service was good and timely. We have come here previously for takeout and the service was great so we planned and came back this time. Another benefit is that they have a nice outdoor space.

This place is everything you want in a brewery and nothing you don't. First off, the beer: it's stupidly good. Like, annoyingly good. The kind of good where you go in thinking, "I'll just try one" and then three flights later you're googling if it's socially acceptable to move into a brewery. Their IPAs actually taste different from one another (shocking, I know), the stouts don't drink like liquid bread, and even the lighter stuff has actual flavor. It's witchcraft, and I'm here for it. The vibe? Top tier. Inside feels like hanging out in your cool friend's garage--if your cool friend also had a professional brewing setup and knew what the hell they were doing. Outside, the beer garden is basically Milford's adult playground. Add in food trucks and you've got yourself the perfect Saturday. The staff? Friendly, quick, and actually seem like they enjoy being there. Do you know how rare that is? I've been to breweries where the bartender looked like I asked them to solve long division just by ordering a pint. Not here. At Tribus, they get it right. Bottom line: If you're looking for a place where the beer slaps, the vibe's relaxed, and you won't get ignored like a ghost at a bad Mexican restaurant (ask me how I know), Tribus is it. 11/10, would recommend, and will absolutely keep coming back until they name a beer after me.

The pizza with peppers, onions, and fried chicken was a standout. The fried cauliflower was surprisingly delicious (and that's coming from someone who normally isn't a fan). The cheese fries, made with beer cheese, were flavorful, and the fried mozzarella bites are a must if you're in the mood for something classic. The burger was okay. It came out a bit dry, and I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked. The bun also wasn't toasted, which would have made a big difference. One of the coolest parts about this place is the setup. There are multiple rooms, including a main dining area with a live band at night, an indoor patio with a big screen for games, and even a separate dance room with a DJ. They also offer $50 flash tattoos and have a tarot reader on certain weekends, which adds a really unique touch to the overall experience.

We sat at the bar, and I liked how spacious the place is. It has that industrial brewery vibe, a large dining room, and outdoor seating. It's also within walking distance of the arena, so this is a good spot to grab food and drinks and or meet with your group before a concert or event. The pizza is thin crust and has a similar style to New Haven pizza. The flavor was great, but I felt like the center wasn't crispy enough to hold the slice up. It made things a little messy because the middle would flop while eating it. We ordered three small pies so we could try a few different combinations. One was the Weekend Special, which was a red pie with garlic, fresh basil, buffalo mozzarella, pepperoni, meatball, shaved Parmesan, and oregano. The small was $27, which I thought was pretty pricey for the portion. The other two were build your own pie; one white pie with basil and ricotta, and one red pie with pepperoni, meatball, and green pepper. All three pizzas tasted great. My main issue was the texture of the center. I prefer my pizza crispy enough that I can actually pick up a slice without everything sliding or folding over. Service was friendly and attentive enough, although I thought it was a little odd that my bartender disappeared and someone else took over without any explanation. My man tried a few of the beers and enjoyed being able to sample different options, while I went with a margarita flight. Overall, I liked the atmosphere and the pizza was tasty, but I definitely felt the pizzas were overpriced for the size and what you get.

The location had previously been home to the King's Court restaurant. Kearney (a bartender) and Kardos (a chef) had previously worked there, while Rizzo and Hey were customers there. When the owners of King's Court were looking to sell the location, Kearney approached Rizzo with the idea of opening their own restaurant. Rizzo has a background in marketing while Hey manages accounting. The focus of the menu is primarily craft burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches, tacos, wings, and other various pub food staples. They also feature an impressive craft beer selection. I was recently at Liberty Rock Tavern for a fundraising event for the Closer To Free Ride. After scanning the menu, I decided to order the Bada Bing Bird: a crispy chicken sandwich with pesto, provolone, roasted red peppers, prosciutto and balsamic vinegar. It was delicious!!! It paired really well with a couple of cold craft brews. Liberty Rock also has a food truck which visits breweries and other various locations around the state. While visiting Tribus Beer Company a couple of years ago, Liberty Rock was the food truck that day. I ordered their Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich (with crispy bacon, ranch, B&B pickles, pickled Jalapeños, and American cheese) with a side of Waffle Fries. I think it may be the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten!!
