Beers from Bert's in Garden Valley didn't disappoint. We will be back very soon. Keith the owner, Nicky our Server, and Ryan the Chef were a pleasure to talk to. They offered games so we played Golf. I won. But who's keeping track? Tons of tables, bar seats, and a clean bathroom. A must visit. Side note: First Responders and Military get a discount. They ask everyone when cashing out.

We bellied up to the bar, as we weren't doing food & waited, & waited & waited. They weren't all that busy, tho there were several occupied tables. We let them know we had a Hop Passport & they weren't quite sure what to do. The hubs spotted the stamp & explained the process. (Possibly new staff & definitely 1st Passport of the year) We closed out and, again, there was uncertainty on how to process our tab with the BOGO beer. We ended up just giving them cash to allow them time to sort it out on their own & get us to stop #7, which is quite the drive. I had walk the dog, which was something different for me & the hubs did the precious- mine was ok, had an alkaline aftertaste with a grassy tongue & his was decent as well. Neither were beers I'd drive from Boise proper to get & we didn't try the food. Patrons were friendly.

I love to check out the local beer scene when I travel so I made my way to Crescent Brewery. And…read moreI'm glad I did. On the surface, I feel like this place might be a little off putting. It has a VERY locals only vibe. But once you get past that, the beer and service are great. I got to meet the owner and he was incredibly cool. He gave me samples of several of the beers and comped me a few stickers. They also have an awesome brewery dog who loves some attention. There was a food truck in case you need to eat. My only real complaint is that I had to drive so I could only have a few pints. If I make it back this way, I'll totally stop in to try some more beer.

As newcomers to the area, we were looking forward to sampling a local brew. The building itself is…read morecharming, a pleasant surprise given the slightly hidden location also the inside has a dive bar feel. Our excitement quickly evaporated upon entering. First, it was empty with only one other guy there. The older woman running the bar area gave us an immediate scowl, as if we had interrupted her. I stood at the door and asked if they were open, her reply was instantly off-putting: "I'm outta there in 30 minutes," even though their stated hours online showed they were open for another two hours. The entire interaction was awkward and made us hesitant to stay. An older gentleman did come out and try to be friendly, assuring us that was enough time for one drink. However, the bartender's sour attitude persisted. When we asked to see the menu, she replied with a highly disgruntled tone and an irritated look, saying, "We're low on a lot." That was our cue. My husband and I exchanged a look and decided to leave. We were made to feel so unwelcome and unwanted that it actually hurt our feelings. For a place that seems to rely on local support, the lack of hospitality was shocking. We left disappointed and will not be coming back. We also noticed, as another reviewer mentioned, the menu seems basic and generic.I didn't want to spend my money on a beer and chug it fast to get out of there when I could buy the same at a gas station and drink comfortable at home. Sad

Yes they don't sell food and they let you know you can bring your own food or order from local food establishments!!! It is very simple!

Great place, as it is open to the outside and great for kids and family as they have a lot of games and open space! Great people! Great Beer! What more do you need!

There's really no other way to put it - if you like beer, you need to come here! Chris (the owner)…read morehas such an insane way with flavors, I don't know of any other brewery that leaves you saying every single time, "wow! That really does taste like key lime pie, an orange mocha, etc!" I'm not even really a beer drinker, but I would be doing myself a dis-justice if I didn't get a flight every time I came here. My husband always gets an IPA (hazy if it's available). He has said that some are better than others, but the menu here is always rotating so we make sure to stop by every couple weeks to see what's new. This is seriously just the business that downtown Eagle needed and we are SO thankful to have them right down the street! Seriously, you cannot beat Chris and Krsytl's hospitality.

The service was wonderful- it is seat yourself, but the server came by quickly, gave great recommendations and was super attentive.

They do have a huge drink menu (though we didn't drink), but they had a ton of options. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.

The Mother Earth beer I had the first time I believe was an IPA and it was okay but nothing that blew my socks off. But my latest outing I had with this brewery was a milk stout and Steve and I definitely had more fondness there. The Milk Truck is what we had and we really enjoyed this stout a lot simply because the flavor profile tasted so good. With chocolate, coffee and malty flavors this beer isn't necessarily highly unique with what they put it in it but the standard ingredients involved seems notches better than other milk stouts I have had. Maybe it's something where you have to explore on your own with this brewery in regards if a IPA is more enjoyable than a stout but for us the Milk Truck definitely won out.

First off, Matt is an excellent beertender. He immediately let me sample beers in the style that I liked with which is a great touch since I was able to discover what I liked best.

They have their own beer, but they also have a number of guest taps canned cocktails. This time when we went in we split the nachos and added chicken, and also got the chicky chicky bang bang sandwich (both pictured). There nachos are definitely a standout as they put bbq sauce and beer battered cheese that adds a great flavor profile. They cut the sandwich in half for us which I thought was great and not at all expected for them to do that! I know a lot of people also complain about places now a day will skimp out and not have a side so very happy that the order comes with fries. My husband said they were a little too salty and seasoned for his liking but I enjoyed them! They have an outdoor patio which is also great for this amazing weather we're having. Service is 10/10, food is 10/10, vibes are 10/10! A great place in downtown Meridian!

The bar seating was great and they have a great logo. I would love for them to sell metal tackers! Overall, the experience was great and I would be willing to come back and give it another shot.
