We came to here because we'd tried their beer before and really enjoyed it, and we also read that…read morethe brewery was dog-friendly. So naturally, we brought our two little dogs and grabbed a spot on the patio. My wife and I both got beer flights, and we were really impressed with quite a few of the beers. We're pretty picky when it comes to sours, but the Cherry Cheesecake Sour and Guava Sour were standouts for us. Both were fantastic and easily some of our favourites of the flight. For food, I went with the Smoked Mac & Cheese. It was a little soupy underneath the top layer of cheese, but it still had an awesome smoky flavour, especially with the brisket mixed in. The BBQ drizzle was awesome and sweet too. Overall, I really enjoyed it. My wife got the Fish Tacos. She enjoyed the flavour, although she's had better fish tacos elsewhere. They became soggy pretty quickly, but she still liked them overall. Unfortunately, what really put a damper on our visit was an interaction involving our dogs. At one point, a couple with dogs came onto the patio. Our dogs barked as they walked by, and one of their dogs was also pretty reactive, which actually made us feel a little better because we knew we weren't the only ones dealing with that. However, we were later told by staff that we'd have to leave if our dogs continued barking. We've visited a lot of dog-friendly breweries and patios, and we've honestly never had this issue before. We completely understand that excessive barking can disturb other customers, and we're always responsible for our dogs, but being told we'd have to leave really rubbed us the wrong way, especially in a place that advertises itself as dog-friendly. What made it worse was that we immediately felt anxious and uncomfortable for the rest of our visit. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy our food, we felt like we had to rush through the rest of our meal because we were worried our dogs might bark again and we'd be asked to leave. It really wasn't a good feeling at all, and unfortunately it took away a lot of the enjoyment from what had otherwise been a nice visit. What's frustrating is that the staff themselves were actually very, very nice. I had a great conversation with one of the employees and have nothing bad to say about the people working there. It was specifically the handling of the dog situation that really disappointed us. If you're going to advertise yourself as dog-friendly, we feel there should be a reasonable expectation that dogs are going to...well, act like dogs sometimes. The beer was excellent, the food was good, and the staff were friendly, but unfortunately that interaction and the anxiety it caused for the remainder of our meal...brought our overall rating way down.

We arrived around noon and were served by a polite young man that admitted he had not yet tried everything on offer. There was a good selection on tap but none of the IPAs I was hoping for. We did a flight of 6 anyway, which are rather generous pours for $12 total. Nice seating outside. Some of the choices were not really appropriate for the hot summer day but surprisingly their darkest beer turned out to be the best (Holy Smoke peated scotch ale). Was not very keen on the regular ales or sours, but the honey mead was interesting so we bought a large bottle to go. There were 3 other small parties that arrived and it became rather cramped in the tiny shack and service got bogged down. I was disappointed that other employees did not emerge from the brewery to help out.

Everything was in its place and there were no complaints or screw face from anyone, just pure joy and lots of smiles. There was plenty of choice of your hoppy brew, fresh from the never ending tap, well, when it did end there was always another keg handy to keep the refreshments going. See my pics for selections of the liquid nectar on tap. Most people asked for pints of their fave selections, but others grabbed large jugs of brew which cost a deposit. Returning with said jug got you a refill. The staff was pleasant, friendly and accommodating. Normally they close at sundown, when the street lights come on, but since we looked thirsty and were not going anywhere, they stayed up with us, drinking and cavorting into the wee hours. When the demand waned and the beer booth got empty, there was a bell to ring to summon someone from the building who would come and run the taps. A big treat for me, and others too, was the hops growing on the porch which is a first for me to see and went well as a visual while downing a pint. They also provided food in the form of delicious fresh pizza from a local restaurant and had piles of slag sitting there alongside the beer counter. It was sold by the slice and really hit the spot on that warm evening. The church building itself was closed for tours with the pandemic, but the outside looked very interesting. There was also a small cemetery alongside it, as well as a larger cemetery across the road right beside where we were camped out, adding an interesting vibe to be sure! The party aspect was well thought out with outdoor facilities in place, as well as a bonfire with plenty of seating for us, and cool tables made from wooden pallets on top of beer kegs which were solid and functional. They even had a movie for us projected on an outdoor screen visible even for some on lawn chairs across the road. Well worth seeking out, just go to the top of the hill just east of the creek, easy to find!

My husband really enjoyed his rainbow trout tacos, and I thought my tofu burger hit the spot. The restaurant had a great selection of beers and my husband liked his. My Sauvignon blanc was decent. However my parents didn't have a great meal. They ordered the dry ribs, which turned out not to be dry rubbed ribs but battered rib nuggets. Super disappointing. Their onion rings were also mediocre - big portion but small rings and lots of batter. The kids menu had your typical fried stuff but also a roasted chicken and rice dish, with peas and onions. Dessert included a cookie or ice cream. They had an outside patio and plenty of tables inside where there are TVs and a view of the fermentation tanks which my kids enjoyed taking a closer look at. They also had coloring crayons. Fun spot and good random drop by, but I guess you just have to be careful what you order!
