    Sierra Nevada Seasonal Brew
    Alex A.

    A very welcoming and warm place! This was absolutely comforting during a winter weather night. You walk in, get your beer to the left and then take a seat. They seemed to have a good spread and food options. Also digging the holiday spirit with the decorations. I'll have to come back to try their Cuban sandwich.

    Hammer & Ale is a consistent crowd pleaser. I've visited many times with groups and they're always able to manage the crowds. I most recently ordered and enjoyed the Turkey Brie Sweet Heat, which is a perfectly grilled panini with a great balance of sweet with the jalapeño jelly and cheesiness of the Brie. It's just so good! I've ordered the pimento cheese stuffed soft pretzels in the past and it was so good too. They of course have a wonderful craft beer selection and their food is anything but an afterthought. It's magnificent!

    Great little unassuming place in Cooper Young. Be prepared, ye capitalists. This is the new modern. Let the food and beer make the statement instead of meaningless décor. Crowd is mixed, but mostly 20-somethings. Helpful and friendly staff.

    Such a wonderful patio

    This tiny little brewery is bigger on the outside. They've got an amazing from patio area that drew us in on our walk around the Cooper Young neighborhood. You can choose from wrought iron tables and chairs or molded plastic lounge chairs all set up in different areas and configurations around the patio. The sun sets on the back side of the building, so evenings are shaded. Plus there is all sorts of different plants and trees in the patio, making it feel like a garden area. Very nice vibe. It's such a pleasant spot to hang out, chat, and watch the cars drive by as you enjoy their beer and snacks. We sat out side the entire time, so I really can't speak too much to the interior of the place other than noting that the restrooms were clean and the staff was friendly. If we lived in Memphis, we would definitely hang out here to unwind.

    It is good place to hang out with friends! I got some bubble wine! It was good, I like that!good time

    I wish I had better things to say about this place. It feels like a quick lunch cafe, because while the decor is industrial/rustic, it feels sterile. Order at a counter, get your own water (from a FOUNTAIN?), a good beer selection, but pretty basic. I don't see a lot of regulars just hanging out here, because it isn't cozy or welcoming. When weather is nice, the patio would be a solid place to have a beer and watch Cooper Ave traffic. Try the cuban sandwich- it is excellent.

    Variety of beers! Helpful staff. We love their cheese and pickle tray! The food is really good here.

    If you love a great sandwich, oh and a large selection of delicious beer, this is the place! I am not a huge beer drinker, but with the many selections offered, it was easy for me to make up my mind with just minimal help from the staff. I got a flight of 4 beers and a delicious Cuban sandwich served with Dirty Chips. The staff is great, the beer selection is great and the food is great. I do wish they offered fries or cooked their own chips, but I am not complaining (just suggesting). This is a great place for a drinks or lunch.

Their beers are exceptional. I tried 3 tasters: the DH tongue and groove, the Bench Vise and the vanilla latte within tolerances. All were delicious but I especially liked the DH tongue and groove.
