The pricing on many of their beers and bourbon are lower than most places in the area. The employees are always friendly and personable.

I rarely give someone five stars, and when I do, I have already asked myself if they could have…read moredone anything differently or better. Really, the answer is no. They couldn't have done it any better. I'm a long-time Listermann fan, and they hold the bar as far as I'm concerned. Until I stumbled across HBYOB. Literally. A guy my wife works with told her about it, and I put it on the bucket list, but we were walking past a strip mall and I glanced in to see a row of neatly stacked carboys. Best unintentional find ever! Walked in, the fella at the counter acknowledged us, and asked if we needed anything. When we politely declined, he went back to his reading and left us alone - something I truly appreciate. I looked up a few of my favorite recipes and he had everything I ever needed to make any of my ales - even a few tough to get ahold of NZ hops. The process is a little different than Listermann - you tell them how much of what grains you want and they pull and grind for you. Right in front of you, but the grinder faces away from the customer, so no more getting your hands dirty. HBYOB also has fresh kits with some of the more popular recipes, priced around $20, which is about right. They have bottles, tubing, grains, hops, pretty much everything I ever needed/wanted to make beer. I'm definitely a fan, and I'm recommending it to all my friends. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Listermann's, but HBYOB is much closer, and a little easier on the wallet. No restaurant or taproom at HBYOB, but I was only looking for the stuff to make my own.

If you haven't been to MPH Brewing in Montgomery, you're either stuck in traffic... or parked…read moresomewhere three blocks away wondering if this place is really worth the walk. Spoiler: it is. The only real complaint here is that the parking situation occasionally resembles a Black Friday doorbuster...,,except instead of discounted TVs, you're fighting for proximity to exceptional beer and people who actually seem glad you showed up. From the moment you walk in, you get hit with something rare these days: genuine, unscripted hospitality. Sierra, the general manager, runs the place with the kind of quiet authority that says, "Yes, we're in control....and yes, you're going to enjoy yourself." She's sharp, composed, and clearly the reason everything hums instead of hiccups. Then there's Maddie...her sister....who is essentially a human champagne cork. Every interaction pops, sparkles, and somehow gets more entertaining the longer you're around her. Watching Sierra and Maddie interact is like seeing discipline and delightful chaos shake hands and decide to run a brewery together. The result? A place that feels both dialed-in and alive. Caroline deserves her own headline. Not just pleasant...precision-level accommodating. The kind of service where you don't have to ask twice, and usually don't even have to ask once. She and Maddie made sure we were completely taken care of out on the porch, including getting a fire going when the temperature dipped into that sneaky "do I need a jacket or not?" zone. That's not service..,.that's anticipation. The food? Legitimately strong. The prosciutto and fig jam pizza hits that perfect balance of sweet, salty, and "why did we not order two of these?" Their salads don't feel like a punishment, and the sandwiches,,..let's just say people aren't exaggerating. You'll see tables guarding them like trade secrets. Now the beer....this is where MPH separates itself from the "nice patio, average product" crowd you find scattered along certain nearby river-adjacent zones. These beers don't just show up,,.they perform. Clean, well-crafted, and across a lineup that feels like a brewmaster who knows exactly what he's doing and isn't guessing. You could drop several of these into a national competition and they wouldn't just participate--they'd make noise. What stands out most is the environment. Relaxed without being lazy, energetic without being chaotic. If the weather cooperates, sitting outside is one of the most enjoyable, almost unfairly pleasant experiences you'll find in Montgomery. There's really nothing else like it in the immediate area, it's not trying to copy anything, and that's exactly why it works. Bottom line: MPH Brewing is what happens when ownership hires well, trains well, and then gets out of the way of good people doing good work. Just plan your parking strategy like you're invading Normandy--or bring comfortable shoes. Either way, you'll leave glad you made the effort.

The bartender quickly spotted up as we sat down at the bar and asked for our order. I appreciate the range of available beers. Not a hefty number of hazy IPAs.

The brewery itself is inviting, set up so that it is welcoming to families, couples, singles, and groups. The staff we interacted with were all incredibly friendly and attentive. If I lived in the nearby or even in Ohio, I would certainly make this brewery a regular spot. Enjoy your visit!
