What a pleasant surprise to find this small brewery (literally) on the south side of Muncie! When…read moreI pulled up to this place, it looked like any other strip mall/industrial office space. Even when I stepped inside, the lobby looked like an office with some merchandise of the brewery on hand. I was greeted by the mom of the owner and she welcomed me back into the brewery (it looks like a big garage) where the vats sit out just behind the bar. I grabbed one of the seats and decided to go with a flight ($7) of five of the six beers. They weren't arranged in any particular order on the taps, so I didn't necessarily drink them in the optimal order, but I was pleased with the flavor on all of them! I started with a Hopscotch Scottish Ale with hops (4.4% ? IBU) that had a pleasant blended flavor where the hops were forward, but not overpowering. I moved on to the Moe's Cream Ale (5%, 10) which seemed especially sweet after the hopped scotch. Very smooth and tasty! The amber (5.3% ?) was probably my least favorite of the flight. It was okay, but didn't stand out from the others. The White River Stout (4.8%, 34) was a little different from most stouts I've tried. It had the deep rich coffee flavor, but there was a hint of some mystery flavor I still can't quite identify, but would say it was almost tart....but not in a bad way. Just a nice flavor with a little something extra. I finished off the flight with the Black IPA (8%, 81) which was another good beer. Plenty of hops, but not overly bitter. I did get to sample the Windy Kilt (Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy) and was surprised that for 9% (27 IBU) beer, the alcohol didn't overpower the other ingredients! It was delicious and balanced. Probably the most enjoyable high alcohol beer I've had! Right now, the space is a bit cluttered and isn't big enough to meet a bunch of friends. It also closes at 6 p.m. during the week. But good news is that the owner is trying to reopen a taproom nearer to downtown (Hoyt and Liberty) late in the summer. From what I was told, it should have plenty of parking and lots of space for customers AND equipment. Not sure if the operations will close on the south side, but even if they brew one place and serve at another, that would be a definite improvement to the visitor experience. I got to talk with a couple of the folks who work there and one of their customers while enjoying my visit. Seems like a friendly group that like to share good stories and listen to a few of mine. Good place! A definite place to bookmark, especially if they get their new expanded location. Review #2622

Not a single complaint from anyone! The food was incredible, with a tasty variety of appetizers like fried pickles, quesadillas, salad, chips, and jalapeño poppers--everything was a hit. I personally enjoyed a favorite of mine, a buffalo chicken wrap which was full of delicious flavors and ingredients. We were able to provide drink tickets, and the selection--from ciders to sour beers--was top-notch and well-loved by everyone. The space itself is warm, welcoming, and perfect for larger gatherings. The assortment of board games was a hit amongst our crew. I couldn't recommend Creatures of Habit more--whether it's for events, hangouts, or anything in between. Thank you again! We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Now, I could probably never eat another toasted ravioli for the rest of my life and I'd be perfectly fine, but I had to try them. Not bad! I've had toasted ravioli in St. Louis, which is the supposed birthplace of the food, and these would rival any in the Gateway City. I didn't just want to sit at the bar and stuff my face full of cheese and pasta. So I ordered a pizza, so that I could also stuff my face full of cheese and bread. The pizzas here are sized for an individual to enjoy, but they could also be a nice little sharable snack between two people. I got the Bill the Butcher, which is a meat-forward pie with beer-infused pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, bacon, chicken, sausage, ham and steak. It's a lotta meat! But it was delicious. All of the pizzas have interesting names and even more interesting ingredients, and now I'm kind of wishing I had ordered the Crust Punk Deluxe. Maybe next time! I feel like I missed an opportunity by not getting any of the beer here. But I did buy a pub glass to take home with me. I just wasn't feeling like beer when I visited, but the next time I'm in Muncie, I will definitely stop by for some beer. The service here is very accommodating and friendly. I wanted for nothing, but also, the guy manning the bar was very chill and knew when to hang back.

And the fries! The fries were amazing, too. Rough cut and perfectly salted and piled high. They serve a lot of beers on tap, and I chose one called Anti-Hero. It was great, and I loved it so much that I came back later that evening to get another one. As I was sitting at my table enjoying my spectacular lunch, I noticed that they were playing some great tunes. Isn't it nice when you find a place with food that tastes great, and people who work there with great taste in music? One thing to note is that there's a 21+ adults section, and a general section for families. The family area has some games and things to play with while you wait for your food.

That right there told me they don't mind being different in the style of food they serve! After checking over the menu full of wraps and burgers amongst a plethora of other bar food I ended up getting some wings to try and the house made chips. I got half my wings in the BBQ flavor and the other Buffalo. Being honest the wings weren't anything special but they did hit the spot and the BBQ sauce wasn't anything special to me on the wings but if it was used in some pulled pork or ribs I believe I would enjoy it more. The buffalo sauce was really good and had just enough heat to need the ranch here and there. The house made chips were good, not overly seasoned and not over cooked either. The place is small but has a handful of high top round tables and a few bigger square tables in the front with a decent bar strip with plenty of bottles and beers on tap. The pool table in the side room looked like a great area to hang around and play some pool while enjoying some beers with the company of friends. Next time I'm in town I will try one of their countless burger options!
