    Cheese sticks $7 - great value
    Abby S.

    Awesome spot! Tons of seating and parking. Great selection of beer and cocktails. I loved the Hazy Daisy and can't wait to head back to try a few more. The interior is awesome, with arcade games and some other bar games for folks to play. Perfect for a big group or to spend a fun afternoon. Outside is nice too, shaded and blocked off from parking. Dog friendly! Food is decent and not a bad deal, though not the draw of the place. Hope to head back for many more days!

    Beer was ok, food was also ok. The view was really nice though! It's a fun concept but I feel like the main components (food and beer) need some improvement.

    Margarita pizza unfortunately disappointing.

    Amazing space, great beer selection and excellent music let down by poor food. Drunken pig specialty pizza was ok. Crust chewy, flat, kinda tasteless, not great. Sauce too sweet. Margarita pizza couldn't be finished by any of our party. I wasn't convinced until I tried it (is this for real, are we on camera?!?). We threw the pie away after a couple bites each. Just get a cheap grocery store frozen pizza and save some bucks. Seriously, the pizzas need some help. Too bad, was really expecting more. Dry rubbed wings with ranch were ok. Cheese steak below average taste-wise and pretty small.

    Axemann Brewery is a very cool spot! The atmosphere is perfect for indoor / outdoor weather and for families with children. Not only do the offer a wide range of beers, wines and cocktails, they have a ton of family friend / kid friendly games available to keep everyone entertained. They used to have food trucks which now turned into permanent spots at the brewery. We tried Marin Eats and it exceeded our expectations! We had the Mac and cheese bites w/chipotle ranch; the jumbo chili cheese dog and the cheese steak! The Blue stripe is the flagship Kolar beer of axeman brewery and was really smooth with a great taste. They are also dog friendly! The service was quick and the staff was very friendly from the minute we walked in the door!

    What an amazing find while visiting my daughter at State College Gorgeous reclaimed industrial space with great space for groups. Tried 5 beers and each one was great! Girls sipped some sangria from a local winery that was also a huge hit Service was friendly and fast Large parking lot Will definitely be back!

    Great spot for good beers and food. They were hosting a cornhole night and the group was a lot of fun and welcoming. Will definitely visit again.

    I met friends at Axemann at 7pm on 8/20/22. I read some great reviews and they didn't disappoint. Lots of games from corn hole to connect four. There's indoor/outdoor tables so lots of options. Great rock n roll music playing and some large tvs had various games on. There's a Mexican food truck in the parking lot and a snack bar/quick service inside. My friends had a cheesesteak and one other dish and said the food was good. Good beer/sangria, fun games, great music... you can't go wrong with Axemann!

    Beer Flight ($10, 5 choices)

    Pretty impressed with this new venue in the Bellefonte area! Only about a 20 minute drive from downtown State College, this fairly secluded new venue is perfect for relaxing with a beer or mixed drink (and hopefully avoiding the college students). As a central PA native, this place knocked it out of the park with the industrial vibe and open air seating (thanks to large garage doors) that overlook a running creek. They also have second story indoor seating area in addition to second story patio seating. As far as food goes, they are currently offering an in-house Blonde Bistro menu, in addition to some outdoor food trucks (Clem's...Rosie's Pierogis...etc.). All of the beer is in house, and they are also offering a cocktail from Big Spring Spirits and a cider from 814 Cider Works.

    This was our first visit to Axemann. I absolutely love the building and setting. There are so many areas to sit inside and outside. We sat inside by the open window next to the creek. Beautiful. The brewery has a great vibe. Decent variety and number of beers. I got a flight. All were good. Service was helpful and attentive. We got a pizza and piece of cake from the eatery. They were good enough. Worth checking out.

    Banana Split Parfait

    This space doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is seriously gorgeous. I forgot to take a photo of it bc I was too busy staring. They did a phenomenal job of renovating this space. This is a great spot to grab brunch, play games while grabbing a few beers, host friends for a celebration. Supposedly during non-covid times they plan to host cornhole tournaments and live music. I ordered brunch items from the Blonde Bistro. The mimosas were very tasty; I loved the banana split; and the 2 egg breakfast was okay. The eggs were either not done, or cooked in a heck of a lot of oil. I couldn't eat them. Unfortunately, because of their order online system with no wait staff, no one comes to check on you. I would have mentioned it if someone asked, but it wasn't worth it to me to seek out someone to give feedback. Hopefully they consider adding staff to check on tables soon. Otherwise, I will definitely be returning.

    Came for lunch and a beer. They had a reduced menu due to graduation weekend, so mostly IPAs and pale ales were on tap, along with a pilsner and a Berliner Weisse. They have beer to-go in cans, as well, from the little merchandise stand at the front. All the beer I tried was good, and the staff was super friendly and quick. Inside is a huge seating area, along with garage doors that open up for views of the creek (Logan Branch) and train tracks. There's also an upstairs that was closed off on my visit, and a patio. The whole building was an old iron works, and it's amazing what they've done to renovate the place. Food comes courtesy of The Blonde Bistro, which is mostly pub fare along with some Italian dishes. I had the All-American Burger, which was great, along with fries. My partner had a souped-up BLT, although she did mention that it may be better with sliced tomato rather than tomato aioli. There was also a food truck outside during my visit, so that's an option as well.

    Small brewery's are common in Appalachia. Some have even turned into larger operations, over the…read moreyears. Names like Appalachian Beer Company and Lancaster Brewery come to mind. These places some excellent beer. But they also are restaurants. So, maybe beer is a draw in or the food at times. So with that, Drunk Monkey is a pure brewery. They make, sell, distribute, and promote their own product. As far as promoting, I am not sure they need to do much work as the product has really gotten some attention at the street level. I have seen the main beer showing up at local restaurants the last year. There has also been solid word of mouth. Some of their beers are even winning awards. So it didn't take much convincing from a coworker to get me there before our Nittany Lions came on. The brewery, itself, is a tiny place tucked into an old industrial park that use to be home to one of the largest textile mills in the country. Long abandoned, different smaller businesses now call the park home. One of the more sustained businesses is Fisher's bee farm. That brings us to the brewery. The owner of the bee farm decided to start a brewery near his business. Once finding the brewery, you notice that it is a whole in the wall kinda place. But once entering, the place is organized, clean, and the folks are extremely warm and friendly. Everything is clearly marked. Beer prices are payed out in a sheet on the wall. There is a merchandise rack clearly marked. There are cases clearly marked for type. You can tell this is a place where the people love and care about their beer. The lady manning the shop was knowledgable and friendly. She gave us a preview of the beers and described each one as we taste tested the taps. She then offered us a tour of the small brewery which we jumped on. This definitely plussed the experience and ultimately earned that fifth star. We learned that this particular young lady also hand labels, preps, and fills the bottles. So she does more than just look pretty selling the beer. Now for the beer. I really can't remember all the particular names of the beer. But I had a few favorites. In particular, the German wheat beer was fantastic. That is what I got my growler filled with. Some of the other beers that tasted great, Kraken and one named Mistress or something to that effect. Fittingly, the mistress had a tap handle in the shape of a ship figure head. Speaking of which, all the beers have nautical names based on the folklore of Captain Jack which many local landmarks are named. I have nothing negative to say about Drunk Monkey. They are in an obscure location. The place is small and doesn't look like much from the outside. But like most really great businesses, it is about the knowledge of the people behind the business. Drunk Monkey has plenty of that! If you are in the area on a Wednesday or Saturday, stop in for a taste.

Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more The three things I look for in a brewery are a dog-friendly outdoor space, accessibility to some good grub, and (of course) some quality beers. The brewery does have smallish patio outside, but when we checked in to make sure it was pet friendly we found out that they are definitely NOT. "Sorry, no dogs are allowed on the premises. I mean, it can stay in your car, but don't let it out." Bummer for sure, although that patio wasn't terribly inviting on a chilly November night anyway. Besides not allowing our creature on the patio, the staff's demeanor didn't compensate. Most of the ones we talked to seemed pretty uninterested in being there...or maybe just not interested in paying attention to someone who isn't in college. We didn't take advantage of the food opportunities, but they do have a nice menu available. So maybe the food's good, maybe it's not, but it's certainly available. And to be fair, the place was crowded on a Saturday evening, so I think it's safe to assume that it's decent. Which brings us to the beer. Enough of the beers in our flights were good enough to save the rating above a 2 on my scale. They have some variety which is always a plus...sours, hefs, stouts, and multiple IPAs. If you're into craft beer like we are, you'll likely find something you'll like. It's unlikely that we'll return because there are a couple of other breweries close by that are significantly friendlier. But if you're in the area and in the mood for a pretty good craft beer, Robin Hood is a safe choice. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

After living elsewhere for several years, I was really excited to see a brewery scene popping up in the area and the food trucks sounded like a cool idea. We arrived at 6:30 and put our food order in by 6:45. By a little after 8, our food had still not arrived and the food truck had told our husbands that they weren't equipped for the food demand, but a staff member came and told our girls that they would need to leave at 8:30 when their 21+ policy kicked in. I can understand not wanting small children running around in the evening, but our girls were sitting and quietly talking. I explained that we had been traveling all day and that the food truck was behind, and they seemed understanding, but everyone still felt rushed to eat quickly and leave. I think the adults were getting more cranky about being hungry than the teens, but takeaways from this visit is that the food service may be understaffed to deliver even a simple order and they will start enforcing their 21+ policy at 8:30 even if you're still waiting on an order. Probably a very cool spot for 21+, but I would not bring my teens here again, even before 8:30 for the food trucks.
