    On a recent visit to Madison we stopped in a gluten free brewery. It is located in an industrial park. They had a variety of beers to chose from and even though I did not have any beer, everyone who did seemed to enjoy their selections. They had a variety of IPAs and lagers. They have a limited food menu, all gluten free. They seem to be active in the gluten free community. It was nice to visit a dedicated gluten free brewery.

    One of my all time favorite breweries! We live in Milwaukee and make special trips just to go to Alt! The amazing variety of gluten free beer is top notch. Ripped Jeans and Wolf Shirts is one of my favorite! Whenever my friends visit Madison, they know to ask if I need any requests to stock up. All of the bartenders are always friendly and helpful. I just wish they had a Milwaukee taproom!

    This place was fantastic. It's one of the few completely gluten-free breweries in the country, and their juice is very tasty. Super friendly staff. They also allow you to bring inoutside food as long as it is gluten-free, and fortunately there are a few places in very close proximity with great gluten-free food options. We took a bunch of bottles home with us, and we will be making more trips up to Madison to vist again in the very near future.

    "I'm home. -Every celiac ever Came here with my fiancé and in-laws on their recommendation. All beers were gluten free and it was the first time I had a full beer flight of all their options. My recommendations were the 1808 and Hollywood Nights. Great place. Nearly brought a tear to my eye since I wasn't limited to the back page of a menu when it came to drinks for a change. Price was well worth the experience. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Great experience.

    Flight of the three they have on tap today. Some good ones on deck for later this month, too!

    I'm impressed with their beers, which are all gluten free and manage to taste really good! The tap room space is beautifully designed and we enjoyed a great conversation with the owner to learn more about it and about how he started the business. I think the business is growing at a pace the owner and his wife can manage. It will be great to watch it continue to grow. While I don't have celiac disease, I certainly feel much better with a reduced gluten diet, and this is a great alternative to traditional beer that doesn't taste watered down. More and more places around town are serving their beers. Right now, check out their beers at the Parched Eagle in Westport and at Charlie's on Main in Oregon (among others) plus your favorite liquor store. The tap room serves samplers, a great way to taste everything at once. You can also fill a growler.

    Testing out the Copperhead Ale :)

    Great gluten free beer, I can't taste the difference between this and regular beer to be honest.

    Few people know what a bierock is. I saw the sign as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and…read moreknew we had to investigate. I left hubby with no option other than stopping for lunch or at least ordering some food to go. I lived in Kansas as a teenager and fondly remember discovering bierocks and later making them for my own family. I wish we were locals because not only are the bierocks good, but this place has a fun vibe that would definitely bring us back. It was a game day when we stopped, and there was a fair crowd cheering on their favorite Wisconsin team. We ordered a Classic with Bavarian seasoning and a Rosemary Lamb Bierock to go along with some jalapeño poppers. I really enjoyed the Classic with the additional seasoning. It gave it an added boost of flavor. My husband was pleased with the Rosemary Lamb. Each came with chips and a pickle. Next time, I hope we can stop in and stay for a cocktail or craft beer as well.

Place was not busy and our order was messed up -- ingredients and sides weren't correct or were missing -- which is the reason for 3 stars. We did get comped one meal due to the fact that an entire meal for our son wasn't made and we had to wait another 15 minutes for it to be cooked. Overall, I'd like to try this place again to see if it can regain some stars and my confidence in the service.

    The most unbelievable email ive ever read. I said I was uncomfortable about something at the…read moreforward coffee shop and posting a review of my experience on yelp or google of a business and sharing what I experienced is freedom of speech and that's what yelp and google is. They threatened legal action if I shared what I experienced. The email that I'm still speechless about they directly insinuated i have mental health issues - all bc I asked to speak to a manager about something that was making me uncomfortable and would make anyone uncomfortable. This entire email is the clearest example of destructive gaslighting i have ever see. I have never spoken a word to them about my personal life, I have never said a word about 'metal health issues. I was not given any opportunity to speak or defend myself.They made sure i wasnt called only emailed to control their narrative of me. I made the decision to never come back days ago. I go almost every day. I am unbelievably nice. I dont say anything besides my order and small friendly talk. I say thank you every time i get my drink and smile. I am not someone that would randomly make things up. I explained a situation that happened 5 months ago but as you can see in the email they've apparently 'looked at all the footage' and have made their conclusion in less than a day. There's no way you can go over 8 months of footage in less than a day. There's no way to make an accurate fair conclusion in less than a day. As you can see in their response they accused me of trying to make employees look bad. Here was the incident: I came out of the exit door to the bathroom and two employees had been so close to the door that I hit them by accident. I asked 'can I help you?' And they ran away. Even then I didn't say anything. It was invasive, inappropriate, and incredibly rude. I should have said something as anyone would but I didn't. Somehow I knew this would happen if I said a word. They usually have one or two at the front and are very often alone but bc the employees didn't see anything that means I'm lying. Make that make sense Their false accusations and threats of taking legal action is laughable. They even had the balls to give me the number of a mental health line. It is absolutely despicable and condescending. It's hilarious to me that they set these rules and conclusions that I must follow as if not following it is doing something illegal. I'm not an idiot. I feel so sad for people that are actually like this bc it only shows how many issues they have and how unhappy they are. It shows the type of people they are and their morals and values and indifference. To know a collective group of people, a well known and popular coffee shop, handles a customer telling them something is making them uncomfortable is in reality the direct opposite of how establishments are as a norm. It makes me very concerned for customers. Lastly The email written to me said how'd they they don't have cameras in the bathroom or stalls so they don't know if anything happened. The incident was not inside the bathroom and stalls. I said that many times and made clear. They lied to make me look even worse.The moral of the story is don't speak up when you feel uncomfortable bc it's your fault you feel that way. Keep spreading that message my friends. I was told it was inappropriate to contact any employees or go into the store as if I had already done something or was going to. I do not behave in that way nor have I ever.. I dont have any contact info for any of them. Ive never seen any of them outside the coffee shop or spoken to them. I don't even know their names.. The emails are not in order - yelp has been mixing them up when I put them in order. Sorry about that

There was music playing and…read morepeople at every table, but it was a nice balance as we were working and talking, and both were fine. The mocha was great.
