The owner was motivated, polite, helpful, and super energetic.. You need to keep an eye out for it because at 70 mph it's easy to drive by.. That said, in the amount of time for it to register that you just drove by and ask yourself the question, "Was that a beer barn?" You will arrive at a side street for which to use for turning around.. According to the owner there will soon be taco trucks and hot off the smoker barbecue available.. Drive up beer AND barbecue!! So, if you plan on driving North on 35 and don't feel like sitting in the endless construction traffic, then exit I35 just South of Temple and pick up 317 North. Leads you North of Waco (and you can still get Kolaches off exit 353 at Czech House or Slovaceks)... Will add 15-20 minutes onto your drive if there were no delays but lately with the construction it is apt to save you an hour!! Check it out..

You'll see a buncha wooden tables that gives this place an "off pub" look but still very nice and warm. Friendly staff recommended a few brews for me to try and the pricing was great. I got 2 beers, an IPA and a blonde to taste. Both were refreshing and delicious and I ordered a side of dill dip and pretzels (which i didn't really care for). Beers tasty, snacks are good, stuff for my toddler to do. I had a good time there. Thanks Nolan Creek Brewery!

Small towns make walking around easy. My family went antiquing, and I waltzed on over to the local brewery. Walking in, it was still early afternoon. There is a massive parking lot for retail outside. The brewery has a patio out front, and ample seating inside. I chatted up a local fella at the bar for a bit. He put me onto the Pioneer Porter, which was very tasty. My favorite was the Creekside Warmer, an 8.3% Winter brew. Very tasty. The ramblers Amber and the Coyotes Call were very good too. The place is very clean, the staff is friendly and chatty. They have events throughout the week, and Mimosas for those so inclined! There is a food menu, but I did not partake in the chewables. Pricing was good too, can't complain. If I find myself out in those parts again, I'd be back!

It has been open longer than I have been alive. This is a very local hang out with many very close regulars. But they don't bite. As I am moderately amused by most things in life, I like the chill ambiance. Rustic with operational doors, soap dispenser and hand towel machine for the ladies restroom. Yes, that's a big deal. Things to know: 1) Beer only but.... 2) BYOLiquor and get charged a fee for it? Or there's soft drinks you can purchase? I have not really ever figured that out. 3) There is nothing over $4 and there is a Thirsty Thursdays discount. 4) The jukebox plays everything but be careful what you pick! Some songs just shouldn't be played here. 5) There is one pool table and it does get used. 6) They do gladly accept cash but you can pay by credit card. 7) If you're looking for barbecue, it's a tan building to the right of Honeycutt's as you're looking in from Airport. 8) You can eat your barbecue here. But you still have to go get it yourself, lazy. 9) Don't piss off the owner or the bartender. If you don't know. You better ask somebody! Or just try it out!

I was looking forward to trying their burgers here as I heard this was their main food. Unfortunately, the burger I had was far below my expectations. It did not compare to some of the fast food burgers I have had. I opted for the bulgogi burger because it sounded interesting, and I tend to like fusion burgers. I could not tell the burger had bulgogi flavor at all. There was just some kimchi on top, which probably made the burger more expensive than the others even though it was just a little kimchi. There was nothing else special about the taste of the burger, and it did not seem worth the $20+. The fries were extremely seasoned, and I was probably the most dehydrated I had ever been from eating fries, but they did taste good. We got a large soft pretzel to share, and it was really fragrant. It didn't have an overly salty taste like many pretzels do.
