It was the best decision we have made yet this spooky season. Good beers, games, and fantastically creepy vibes. The outside was kept warm with fires and food trucks.

They also have a really diverse tap list with a variety of beer styles and NA options. This visit we came for their Fossil brew day event. They always have fun events and popup vendors. I've loved their German village as well which they open for special occasions. There are a few spots to park out front, but lots of street parking around the area. They're walking distance to other breweries and restaurants in Lawrenceville. The staff is always really nice and knowledgeable.

Another trope of mine is being an old yinzer and I have been around long enough to remember when this location was Hough's and also supposed to be Necromancer. But I digress. On Sundays, we try a brewery we haven't yet been to. Mondays is a clean spot with nice woodwork, food, and great service. For a bit of time it was just us in there and they offered to let us pick the music. TVs had on local hockey and march madness. A continuous stream of customers came in for food and crowler takeout. Bartender Josh was friendly and kind. All in all, had a great time. Beer was fresh. Recommend for a Monday or any day.

I tend towards lighter beers, and they had several great options for me (don't worry, there are plenty of darker beers and higher-alcohol-percentage brews; I just didn't order them). There are three or four bars, along with a stage and places for food trucks. The bars are all linked, so you can open a tab at one and it'll be available at the others as well. Super friendly service. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and the place was well-staffed with very cool employees. The atmosphere is nice, too, and I appreciated the poster on one wall explaining the meaning of "Grist House". You can bring dogs too! Some very nice dogs were present on this particular Saturday. Next time I'm coming through this way, I will definitely be stopping by again. * Note: it's a brewery, of course, but they do offer some wines and their own cocktail concoctions.

I need the kale salad back because it was better than the Chick-fil-A kale salad. They did however add the chicken Caesar wrap to the dinner menu which I have wanted on there for awhile. It was good but I don't think they should be charging $2 extra to have fried chicken instead of grilled. Also I think the wrap could have used more filling and chicken since I paid $2 extra for it! Did it taste good? Yes! But fill it up more please! I have a lot of empty tortilla at the end of each wrap.

So have you seen that meme out on the InterT00bZ that's like "Hey let's go to that new beer place…read morethey have $27 warm hazy IPAs in the middle of a parking lot?" Yeah, that's the vibe I was getting at Velum. There was a lot to like and a lot to not like about this place, so I'll start with the bad and end on a positive note. First off, it's in an old brewery and it looks like a warehouse. I'm not sure if they still brew their own beers but it straight up looks like an old warehouse. I've seen abandoned warehouses that look less like a warehouse than Velum. Maybe some people like that vibe but I felt like the cops were going to bust in and shut the party down like a teen coming-of-age movie. The taproom is all the way in the back, and so are the bathrooms, so if you break the magic circle, prepare to get your steps in. There's no kitchen. They DO partner with a food truck but they're getting their own review. I paid $10 for an average cocktail and $8 for a 12 oz cider that frankly wasn't that great. Either better drinks or bigger drinks, please. And everything is community seating. I don't hate the idea but I didn't care for the vibe so when I found a smaller table my friend and I grabbed it and boarded it. With that being said, there was a lot to like too. First off, we were there for a pinball night, and they have a great selection of pinball tables there, both classic and modern. I really would have liked information on joining a pinball league, but that wasn't offered anywhere that I could find. Plus on that particular night it was $10 for all-you-can-play, so we definitely got our money's worth there. The staff that I did interact with were super nice. That goes a long way and saved this from being a worse review. And the place is dog friendly, which is always a huge plus for me. All in all, I had a decent night. But the question as always is if I'll go back. Unfortunately, probably not of my own accord. If there's another pinball event, I'll definitely go, but it's not going into my rotation of cool spots. Not every place is meant for me, and that's fine.
