Great Atmosphere!…read more Walked in and were greeted by the bartender and one of the guys at the bar. They made us feel at home instantly! Still a relatively new brewery, so still getting going with regard to their own specialty drafts, but they feature other local flavors, so there are good options. The brewery itself is pretty spacious. Love the area that has a couple love seats next to a fire place and a bunch of board games that are there to help pass the time. Pool table in the back of the brewery and three tv's all playing college football games. Prices are good, and they had a couple things we liked. The person at the bar had cooked game day treats and shared his smoked pork belly with us (so good!). These guys look to have a long successful run in this business with the quality customer service they provide. Really impressed and look forward to coming back and sampling new brews when they have them.

This was kinda disappointing even though I really love mushrooms. I also wish they had put more pizza sauce on the crust. Sooooo , this pizza was just okay.

Overall consistently have been happy with everything I have eaten, but I will say that while still pretty good the burgers are not as good as they were early on. One of the big draws for me has always been the outdoor patio area that is shared with the other businesses that are part of the Trussville Entertainment District (TED). The covering over the area keeps you out of the direct sun but still has a very open air feel. On my most recent visit I got the Feral Smash Burger with Cheddar instead of American Cheese. I ordered the tots for my side because I swore that I had gotten them many times in the past. Looking back at all my photos, clearly I was mistaken. Since I am not a big fan of sweet potato the bartender brought me fries instead to go with my side of Beer Cheese which is well worth the added cost. Depending on when you go, you may have to go inside to order at the bar for the outdoor seating (such as I did today). Other days when the TED is busier and peak times you can order at the outdoor bar. For solo lunch dining I prefer other options in the TED but Ferus is great for groups and outdoor dining. I am sure I will be back especially when my daughter comes to town since she likes to refill her growler with the seasonal sours.

Since I knew absolutely nothing about meads, I tried a flight (4) and totally trusted the recommendations made for me by Matt. Of the four , I loved the immortal best. I had a bourbon kind taste. All the other flavors were tasty to my palate as well. Very smooth. I really hate that this unique establishment is closing . It's really nice space ; located in an old post office in Alabaster ( I think). There's a pool table and games in a separate room. Seating also. The main room has ample seating , restrooms, tons of natural sunlight! I really enjoyed my one and only visit to Ivy League brew!

The first time there were less than eight people, but the second time we went, they were having a wedding event, and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

I am sorry they are closed, but perhaps, as I said above, they would have gotten more customers if they had more variety.

Their own beer selections are a bit limited, but they make up for it with some other local "guest taps" to round out their offerings. The beers that I tried were great, and the food menu is impressive for a small brewery. I had the Beacon Bacon Burger, which was excellent. The venue itself is pretty cool, with a fenced in outdoor area, and a back room that has a speakeasy feel to it. All in all, a nice stop for a cold beer and some good food! My only criticism - the brewery is family friendly, but I didn't see a changing table in the restrooms. I may have missed it, but if there isn't one please consider installing one.

The food here is certainly impressive food for a bar to me. I love the wood fired pizzas. I will say, I think the size is a bit awkward. They're a little too big to be a single serving, and a little too small to be for two people. The beer is all good. Service at the bar always friendly. The fries here are some of my favorite in town. Shoestring.

They've got a huge selection of beers and a full dinner menu, so there's something for just about everyone. Whether you're coming for drinks or planning to eat, you won't feel limited. Parking is plentiful, which is always a win in Birmingham, and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It works well for small groups or larger parties. One thing to know going in: this isn't really a full-service setup. You order and pick up your own food, and aside from someone occasionally clearing empty pint glasses, there's not much table service. We actually didn't receive utensils with our food and had to go back up to the counter to grab some. Not a huge deal, just something to be aware of. I ordered the catfish sandwich with fries. The sandwich itself was delicious -- crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. My only small gripe was that it came in a to-go box. I understand it probably makes cleanup easier for them, but it does take away a bit from the dine-in experience. The fries were shoestring style, which just aren't my personal favorite. They're fine, but I always feel like I need about three handfuls to feel satisfied. We went on a Saturday night and the brewery was packed -- and I mean packed. It was very loud and definitely more of a party atmosphere than a relaxing dinner vibe. If you're looking for a quiet night out, this probably isn't it. But if you want energy, beer, sports on TV, and a fun crowd, this place delivers. Overall, it's a great hangout spot to catch a game, grab a drink, and enjoy good food -- just expect a lively, high-energy scene.

We have loved their Blood Orange Berliner Weisse for years and have always said we needed to make it to the brewery. Today was the perfect chance. It was a Sunday afternoon, and luckily, they were open. There were just a few people, but as they day progressed, more trickled in. Michelle, the beertender, at the time was great. She suggested all sorts of beers based on my taste and let me sample them all. One suggestion she had was to mix the Mango with the Blood Orange. It was really good. The two that I ended up drinking were the Duck River Dunkel and the ISB English Ale. I also liked that they had pretzels and popcorn as bar snacks. We met some really nice people and talked for a while. It reminded me of the old summer days when everyone would just sit and talk and enjoy life. It sure beat the fast-paced and scheduled life that goes on today.
