Ebb & Flow Fermentations in Cape Girardeau was a great stop. I had the Chicken Bowl (Little River…read moreBowl), and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and filling without being too heavy. They brew their own beer, with a focus on sours and saisons. Those aren't really my style, so I stuck with water, but if you're into those varieties, you'll probably enjoy the selection. The atmosphere was one of the highlights. I sat inside, but they also have a large, spacious outdoor patio that looked like a fantastic place to relax and hang out. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely go back for the food and the vibe.

We grabbed our beers and went into the larger adjacent room and sat on the sofa. We didn't order any food. I had a tart, sour beer. Parking is convenient as it's right on the street.

TL;DR: Beer is occasionally unacceptable but usually good. Pizza is good. Service is hit or miss. I…read morelike other brewpubs nearby better. I've been here multiple times. I love beer and make my own, so I may be a bit more critical than others. The beer: Many of the beers are fine or downright good! However, on specifically the Altbier and Helles beers (two styles I personally have made and adore), there was a distinct scorched taste. This is a brewing flaw that would and has caused me to toss a batch down the drain. I wouldn't serve that to friends for free. The food: The pizza is pretty good but is served on cheap paper plates. Hopefully they improve this soon. Other non-beer drinks are served in plastic cups as well. I haven't had other food to comment on it. The service: Service has been slow for the most part, but the last couple times I went in I had a wonderfully attentive waitress whose name I have since forgotten. Discussion: My main hope would be that the brewers would figure out how to avoid scorching, and that they would critically examine their beer to customers. Scorching is unacceptable from a commercial brewery. Aside from that, basic improvements like real glasses and platters for pizza along with sorting out growing pains with the service. I'll likely go back in the future at some point. There's better much brewpubs in the area at this point, but I'd love to come back in the future to an improved product.

First time in and have been looking forward to it. I had been given feedback from a few friends…read morethat were not very good... (in-attentive, slow service and very long "hour or more" wait time for food/pizza). I get it that they've just opened up and it takes some time to get your feet under you. Our area is blessed with many options for craft beer, and food along with it is just as important. My experience was as follows: Walked in looking to choose a table (self-seating) hoping that we'd be noticed. After 5=10 minutes or so, wait staff approaches to get drink/appetizer order... we got a couple of beers (American IPA and dirty laundry brown ale... I think?) Very good. We got the garlic bread and it was very tasty. We ordered a couple of pizzas and they were also very good and came out in a timely manner. I've seen where some folks dislike the crispy/burnt crust from wood-fired pizza oven, and I know it can be over cooked, but not the case on ours. Overall I was not disappointed. (Maybe due to low expectations?) I will go back! Here are a few things that I would prefer as a customer... 1) More timely greeting, acknowledging that we are there... 2) They sell pizza! ... maybe instead of pre-packaged envelopes of Parmesan and red cracked pepper... get some shakers? 3) Everything is served on paper plates... not the nice paper plates, but the cheap, flimsy stuff that you wouldn't buy for a Jackson Park picnic with bologna sammiches? (Hopefully this is a start up issue) 4) Not a big deal, as I know it's a brewery/restaurant... but, when we initially ordered drinks and appetizer, a card was asked for to swipe to open a tab... insinuation is that I'm a dine and dash risk? ‍ I get it... some folks would possibly do that... but, just mildly off-putting. Overall, I love having another craft brew option nearby that serves food... but, there are certainly improvements that need to be made for it to be a go-to place for me... it's on the radar, but, not... let's go to Good News Brewery status.

Also had a sunburned and salty marg, a boogie board, and a lemon drop martini. The bar staff really knows what they are doing. Rob and Laurie have put together a winner here in Cape Girardeau.
