Obsessed! We stopped on the way to Belfast, and the place did not disappoint. This brewery had…read moreeverything that we look for in a brewery: great pours, plenty of space, lots of seating options, and great service. Seating and Ambiance: They have outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating as well. The couches inside are so comfortable. They also allow pups inside which I appreciated it! On a hot summer day, it was difficult for our pup to be out so this really came in handy and allowed us to have a good time. The inside area is SO spacious. Half of it is an arcade/game room with plenty of arcade games so make sure you bring some quarters. Pours: We had 4 pints and took a 4-pack to go, all for $48. The beers were really good. I really enjoyed their IPA "Cease and Desist" which they said was their most popular one. Service: We had the best service. The woman at the front gave us great beer recommendations and was so nice and welcoming from the moment we stepped inside. All in all, a solid 5 out of 5!

We were not sure about the ordering process, and after a few minutes started trying to find the pub website and look for a menu. Eventually a menu was brought to our table, and we put in an order for beer. Turns out, half of the items on the menu were not available. When we did figure out an order, more items were made not available. We settled on a NY style pizza. We did not get the toppings we ordered. Good news: the crust was very good, and worth another try! Even the leftovers were delicious the next day - not all pizza can do that. They do not know how to pour a Guinness - which is too bad, because that is a favorite beer of ours. We switched to another tap and had a local red. The tap selection is decent. The place has a very casual atmosphere, and many locals come and go and seem to have great conversation and know each other's business. Overall, a place with great potential, especially for regulars. Hopefully, another visit will be more successful for exploring the menu which sounds good.

We figured we would stop by, especially since we didn't realize there was a brewery here. When we entered the "bar cabin," we were greeted by the bartender. I ordered a small pour of their sour drink. I almost paid cash, but I realized they did have internet out here for their POS terminal. There's a large pinboard map where all the visitors have come from. That was pretty cool to see. The bartender was friendly, and the building was clean. We were one and done as we were passing through. However, this place gives off total scary movie-type vibes (come check it out it for yourself if you dont believe me). It's not rundown by any means.

If you aren't sure what to get try their refreshing Kölsch or famous ThaI.P.A. with lemongrass flavor. Indoor and outdoor is dog friendly. Upstairs has event space for rent.

Today marked the first time I have revisited since way back in February of 2019. At that point they had only been open since October 2018. Hard to remember just how much the space had changed but it is still small but not meant in a negative way at all. It's a small but inviting and well decorated space. Plenty of as you would expect Pug pictures and decor, so very cute! I appreciate that they take risks with more unique beer offerings. Including their flagship THAI.P.A that uses ginger and lemongrass and they rotate different flavors into it. Jasmine and hibiscus beers and more. More traditionally they offer a kolsch as well. They also have bottles to go and offer growler (aptly named pug jugs) to go as well. If you can't decide their smaller pours are perfect to sample multiple brews. This visit my wife enjoyed their fruited sour Druidcraft and I got their smoked lager Camp Wood 4 Sale. Both tasty and well made. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders will help find the perfect beer for you and make you feel welcome in their space. Also although we did not partake this particular weekend they were offering Christmas ornament painting, a great little craft activity! A smaller sized brewery that deserves support and is worth checking out!

Our main waitress (Angie) seemed like she wanted to be nice but was bothered by something that was fighting through. She was a semi rude interaction with the table next to us that caught my attention but it wasn't me so I left it alone. Another staff had a rude interaction eye roll hand thing to a different customer during the time we were there but again it wasn't me. My son had two bites of the grilled cheese and said it was too burnt didn't want it. She came over to ask how it was we told her she offered to make another and that was it. Most places offer to takeoff menu but no big deal. When ordering the pretzel we said we didn't like beer sauce would only like the mustard. Well beer sauce came out was untouched and charged for. Ok not arguing for $3. Lastly still had our plates in front of us and instead of asking if we wanted any more drinks or dessert she starts ringing us up asking for card with total. I had to tell her I would like dessert which she typed in and then still asked for card. There were no drink refills offered throughout the entire meal as well. Maybe they focus on beers more than food but either way it ruined the experience for me. Service goes a long way and there definitely needs to be some additional training...The food was hit or miss. The pretzel was good depending on your taste for the sauces. The burnt ends flavor was really good but really fatty and not really burnt. The grilled cheese had potential but needed more butter and less time getting dark (or burnt). The steak sandwich was the winner of the day easily. The bbq pizza depending on the bite was either great or inedible. There was some type of rancid I'm assuming cheese sprinkled on top that was not listed that ruined it for me. It was almost like a garlic tart mixture of something. Again, the food hit or miss. The service was the same as well. Those combined made this review sadly this low.
