While visiting New Prague, we had to stop by the brewery…read more They don't offer flights, but they do have 6oz pours. I would have preferred 4oz options for sampling, but it still worked out. I tried the Space Balls (Milk Stout), Bowcaster (Smoked Märzen), and Lemmiwinks (Berliner Weisse with Black Raspberry - Sour Ale). I also sampled my brother's Giesen Weisse (Hefeweizen). I'm not a big fan of sour ales and didn't realize a Berliner Weisse was a sour until after ordering. That said, it was milder than most sours I've had, and I managed to finish the full pour. Space Balls - Fantastic milk stout. Strong coffee notes up front, followed by chocolate on the finish. Smooth and rich mouthfeel. A+ Bowcaster - Smoked beers can easily go overboard and end up tasting like a campfire, but this one was well balanced. The smokiness enhanced the flavor rather than overwhelming it. Would pair perfectly with a burger or steak. A+ Giesen Weisse - Excellent Hefeweizen with classic banana notes. Super refreshing. I often recommend Hefeweizens to friends who think they don't like beer--this one would definitely win them over. Great brewery overall. I'd recommend it and would definitely return.

A couple of friends and I swung in to here while stopping through New Prague. It seemed to be a…read moregood place for a beer. It was a Saturday night, so the place was a little packed, but plenty of room for everyone to move around. From the outside (in the photos), the decor and signage was pretty cool! Their outdoor patio looked like it would be a fun place to enjoy a beer on in the summer (not so much in this cold winter night). Once inside, the atmosphere was fun. People were enjoying their company and the beer, and there was a small food stand inside with a few options for Mexican food this night. We all grabbed a beer and I tried some Mexican street corn. It definitely complemented the dark Czech lager I drank! My friends had a hazy IPA they ordered twice, it was tasty! An all-around pleasant experience and good beer. I'd go back, but probably make it a warm weather stop next time to enjoy all of it fully, including having the garage doors open for that "ope -air" feel when it's nice.

I had their Lemon Shandy, which was absolutely wonderful and perfect for a warm day. For food, I tried the Feisty Goat pizza (goat cheese cream sauce, pepperoni, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a hot honey drizzle) and it was amazing. The sweet heat from the hot honey mixed with the creamy goat cheese is a killer combo. Inside has a great neighborhood garage/hangout vibe with plenty to do--dart boards, pull tabs, and games to play. Definitely a stellar addition to the local taproom scene, and I'll absolutely be back.

We came in on a Saturday early afternoon after running some errands. We found parking to be easy and it was a pretty large space! Though by the time we left around 1:00 it was filling up in terms of tables. I saw multiple people working on laptops at the bar. We had the pizza which was quite good - although messy because of the way they do their crust. We also enjoyed the pretzel bites with a split table on mustard vs beer cheese but for $0.75 you can have both.

The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. We tried 10 different beers and I was definitely underwhelmed. I think I really enjoy two of the ten beers. Grass Skirt Hawaiian style Ale. When we got this the tender shared to take two sips Back to back. She said the first one you will get notes of coconut and the second notes of pineapple. I do agree with the first sip but we did not get any pineapple on any sip. This was a nice coconut pale ale. U4rian Hefeweizen: I was pretty excited that they had a hefe as it's my favorite beer style! Welp this one fell short. No clove, no banana, no bubblegum, Just a simple drinking beer with not much going on. Summer Smoke Hefeweizen: okay! How did smoking the hefe make all the notes I was looking for come it! This is what I wanted in the prior beer. It was a very light smoked beer but, was glad to get those banana and clove flavors in this hefe. Henderson Cream Ale: they some how made a cream ale taste like a Miller Lite. Good mouthfeel for a cream ale though. u4ic Octoberfest: not a marzen...not sure what it was. Black Goat: finally! This bock was nice and toasty, malty, and full bodied! Dave's crazy ass chocolate Milk porter: this was strange. It was thin for a porter, not roasty, or chocolate and not creamy like a milk porter like it should be. Dave's crazy ass chocolate holiday mint porter: Take a peppermint patty and drop it into a glass of water. That's this beer. Thin and minty! Summerine Berlinerwiesse: They suggest you add syrup with this. They have options of raspberry or something that was supposed to make it almond. I didn't do that. If you need to add syrup to a beer you should have that on your menu. This Berliner was not tart and had a strange plastic aroma. Hoof and Horn Barrel aged sour Bock: Wow! This was fantastic! What a nice barrel aged bock with a very tart awesome finish! We loved it so much we bought a Crowler. They have Wing King attached with a full menu of wings, burgers, and apps to much on.

There were two guys playing music which was enjoyable but they had to be dripping sweat. We got a flight and took it outside. The gal who poured our drinks spilled when she put it down.

We each got a different pizza (fig, pesto, hot honey) and a salad. 2 were ordered gluten free but they made all 3 gluten free - so I cannot speak to how the regular crust is unfortunately which I was looking forward too. The flavors were all great and would order all again.
