Not sure I would like it but surprisingly the taste grew on me. This brewery has a good selection of seltzers, IPA's and stouts among others to choose from. No food here but they do have popcorn which is free and popped in a movie style popper. There are food trucks here on a regular basis it appears so you can pop out for a burger or whatever, a Lebanese truck was here during our visit. Quiet atmosphere so I would recommend if you like an atmosphere conducive to talking. Interesting place that may appeal to your inner spirit in many ways.

It's a single sided service approach causes an interaction disconnect that, meanwhile believes in supporting so many things, lacks on customer experience, service and engagement. I'll start with the pros: they have a quick food, quality, menu that supplements their large selection of brews. The only place that has pretty good Meades. The girls here work diligently, they're very approachable, (some) don't know much about the details of the items however they're quick to find them. They're always smiling and even when it's busy, they are very task oriented. That being said, I appreciate the establishment, its aura, and its local support for community and small business. Rosie, and the former police officer, as well as the day shift, and kitchen staff are all great people and seem to enjoy giving service with a smile and are so nice, when you can get to engage with them. Now, the quirks. The menu is on the wall, if you're sitting at the bar, or outside, and your phone is dead, you have to walk up to the bar and then walk the 15 feet wall, around customers to be able to see what's available. It's very cluttered, random and hard to navigate, especially the non-beer options on random sized/font posters. You have to advocate yourself for service, walk up to the bar, because otherwise you might not get attentive service. I waited 15mins between them conversing with other patrons to get a drink. It's very hands-off which, a lot of places are inline with this digital/QR table ordering and walk up service since Covid. However, the feel this place gives: mostly engaging, service with a smile but is inconsistent, giving mixed results on exactly how to take to this place with each person giving a different customer service experience. So, you can see from the photos it's very much walk up service. Which can be difficult for some who have disabilities, sit outside, and other factors and isn't really clear with the layout and expectations it sets with its environment. I've came in several times and have had prompt service at the bar, but on this night, even not busy, was like pulling teeth just to get any follow up/help, silverware and drink refills. I sit at the bar to be able to discuss special needs of food restrictions, etc. but, if it's too busy I probably wouldn't stop in due to having to walk up to the bar to address each need/order and I'm not a fan of table/digital ordering due to food restrictions and menu ordering on digital platforms that are clumsy at times leading to confusion or wrong orders/bill splitting etc. Sometimes food is made well, well portioned, sometimes it seems like they ran out of food and found bits at the bottom of a portion to affix to an order. I've had to ask for plates, napkins and silverware each time I've came here. Should be consistent when bringing food. All and all, I WANT to like this place. It has potential, it supports women forward, small business, local, and service animals. All the things I appreciate and love. They are clean, from the sound of overhearing they have a great membership club (still don't no anything about it), I'll have to wonder away from the bar to read the posters posted around to see if I can get more info. Rosie, who was explaining to to a customer next to me, was very diligent, helpful and engaged with customers very well but, was also stuck to the bar area waiting for people to approach so, its very one sided experience. Being short staffed sucks, it is a today issue. This place really tries, they're strong, female forward and driven. I will continue to try and come back, hopefully this review isn't to harsh, not meant to be, we only know what we know and hopefully this helps shed light in a space others can understand and maybe help. Keep up the hard work and I will keep returning. A similar place is Batch Brewing with the same format that executes this method perfectly. So, it's doable.

The weather was quite nice Sunday afternoon, so we decided to go and check things out. We ordered a flight of crafted brews: Blimey; Big Fat Boss Baby Mocha; and two Student Body Right and our food choices (limited menu for the soft opening). Because it was so nice out, we decided to occupy one of the tables in the "courtyard" area near the IT5 Food Truck. It did take long and I received a text message indicating our food was ready. We had a Mushroom Swiss Smash Burger w Fries and Chicken Tenders w Cole Slaw. Both food items were very good. The chicken tenders were tender and juicy. The smash burger was done to our liking. Fries were made while we waited. We had been to the Fieldhouse a couple times, but we did not know there was a fire ring set up "in the back 40". Nice touch. Maybe IT5 will utilize some of the additional space out back for more than one food truck? Time will tell...

Food trucks good selection of beers galore. Along with quick friendly service. I get a wave from most of the bartenders because I been here a time or two. ;).

Why would you open a location with an even smaller patio?? Anyhow, I went to the original location Tuesday, came here on Thursday. Same beer list. Only reason I came was because Island Soul food truck was here. I believe in patronizing businesses so came n got a beer. They were playing bingo. I would have played but when I asked the not attentive bartender about it she said yeah. No info or anything. Whatever So I went out to patio to drink and wait on my food. Now the original Earnest folks would offer a seat. Hey you can share my table. This aint that type of spot. Very dog friendly place. My food beeper goes off and I leave my beer and go out the gate to get my food I come back less than a minute later and can't get back thru the gate. Now all these kind folks on the patio just look at me like they never seen me before. Don't open the gate or give me a clue lol. I go around to the front entrance and walk around.

I haven't been to any other EBW locations, but this one was a pleasant place to enjoy a pint late on a Friday afternoon. Not too many people there, or too much noise. Lots of tap selections, friendly service, friendly patrons who slid down so I could get an open barstool (and I dont even require that much room!). An open, simply furnished space, like a number of breweries I've seen in strip mall spaces. If the beer is good, the rest doesn't matter that much. And the beer I had was good. Got a taste of their bock and then ordered a pint. Full bodied and carmelly without going overboard on sweetness. Tried a sample of an imperial hazy IPA called The Object and that was truly splendid. Had a bit of a drive ahead of me so I got a 4-pack to go. They have quite a few canned brews in their cooler. You can get crowlers to go as well. Which I expect I'll do pretty soon.

We each got a flight of wine, white for me and red for him. Some of the wine we tried was "drinkable" but I would not go so far as to say it was good. Unfortunately the rose' was not drinkable and actually tasted off, as if it had turned or spoiled. I brought this to the attention of the woman working there, and instead of offering to open a new bottle for us to try, she insisted that that's "how it tastes" and said that the color was supposed to be brown. Poor customer service in my opinion. On a positive note, the interior was nice, with plenty of seating. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

The picnic tables weren't covered, the area was mushy and it smelled like a farm. Inside was pretty cute though. We decided to share a flight of wine instead of beer as this was a vineyard as well as a brewery. We weren't fans. The wine tasted like cough medicine and I feel terrible saying that. We may come back to try the beer but we will see...
