They always have a crowd and that's expected because there's not many other great places besides this. A lot of beers to choose from. There's a pretty great variety and they always rotate. Beers are the main thing of course. It's got a pretty surprising amount to choose from. There's a lot of these on tap. More in cans. Pretty great variety. A lot are IPAs but there's a few others. It's about $8 a pint. Kind of a lot but they make smaller batches of these. Best one we had of these was the Hazy In The Name Of. This is a New England Hazy IPA, a classic style. Made with citrone and nectaron hops. There's notes of citrus, lime, passionfruit, and peach. Has a few things to munch on. It's about $7 for the Knotty Pretzels. Comes in a big bag. These are a great combination and big enough for sharing. For sure there's lots of great beers. It's actually open daily which is especially rare for a brewery to be honest. They sometimes have food trucks.

KID-SIZED BEERS! Not…read morefor kids! I've never been to a place that offers 5 oz pours, and as someone who rarely finishes an entire 12 oz beer, I've always said I needed a place that has "kid size." Hop District is that place. Super cute, laid back, music is good but not SO LOUD, people are great, and my 5-oz beer was the perfect size.. plus delicious! You can order food from Mattone's next door, and we did. Burger was good! Plus there are a bunch of activities like book clubs and trivia nights I want to try, so I guess this is my regular spot now. Depending on the night, maybe I'll get TWO 5 oz beers!

Subpar experience tonight at Milk Money. Came here after a movie across the street and had been on…read moremy list to try. Disappointed. We sat outside and the menu looks like it has a lot of options. We ordered a couple drinks - a beer that wasn't anything special and a martini that had shimmer in it. I took a sip and instantly regretted it - tasted like a mixed drink I made at a highschool basement party. The alcohol burned my throat and it was like the cocktail components didn't make sense. I took one sip and never sipped it again. We ordered cheese curds and a burger which came out in 5 minutes after we ordered which was odd. Felt more like a fast food joint. The cheese curds were heavy and greasy and the burger was pretty good. 1 appetizer, a burger, 2 drinks cost us $67, kind of wild in my opinion. Our server seemed like she wanted us gone too as it was the end of the night. Disappointing experience, don't plan on returning.

The taproom is clean, the service is quick, and even though it's on the smaller side, it has a great atmosphere with fun games and a friendly crowd. It's definitely a family-friendly brewery, you'll sometimes see kids there, and it still manages to feel relaxed and welcoming for everyone. A great local spot to grab a beer, hang out, and enjoy good vibes.

I had the coconut lime lager and it was interesting. Brought a pack home for my partner and ended up not enjoying them and passed them along at a party. I would be willing to try more options because it's close to home and I dont find many breweries near us. The bartender was very sweet and gave recommendations nearby too.

Great beers. Came here after visiting a nearby botanical garden, I grabbed a flight and it was…read morepretty easy. The flight was around $9 if I recall, which is probably one of the cheapest you can get anywhere. My favorite was the hazy ipa. The nitro pour was good but too smooth, felt like no carbonation whatsoever. The server was super friendly, allowed us to grab a pizza nearby. Great ambiance. Perhaps seating up to 30-35.

Kind of hard to find but that adds charm to it. They also have fun events and parties. Best things are the beers of course. It's for sure not the biggest but they still manage to produce a lot. There's quite a variety of styles. A lot of the classics as well as more exotic. It's about $8 a pint. Kind of a lot but again they make smaller batches of these. Best one we had of these was the Guapo Gaucho. This is a dark Mexican lager. Made with chili arbol and cinnamon. The food is pretty limited. Has breadsticks. These come pre bagged from a local company. Check the calendar. They have some food trucks come a few times a month. For sure it's worth looking for. It's actually open daily which is especially rare for a brewery to be honest. This is located by the Target on Quincy Street.

Tasty beer and delicious food! We ordered the shrimp tacos and Reuben sandwich. Both were very…read moretasty, but personally, the Reuben was my favorite of the two. We also tried a few of their beers, and they were all enjoyable. The atmosphere was very trendy and inviting, and we had amazing service. It's also a great, spacious place to host an event, such as a birthday party or office gathering. They have a HUGE TV in the middle of the bar, which was perfect for watching the Bears game! Definitely will be back to try more of their beers!

Recently stopped in for the first time to have dinner with a friend and had a good experience…read more We ordered the cheesesteak eggrolls and bang bang cauliflower for apps and they both were amazing! The cauliflower tasted just like orange chicken lol highly recommend them! We also split the alter prime burger and thought it was so nice they separated the meal into two plates for us so we didn't have to do that ourselves (which we wouldn't have minded either). Burger was 10/10 - cooked perfectly! We both ordered beer flights and opted to have lighter options. Overall, we loved the beer but the orange hwip was prob my favorite! Tasted like a pineapple orange juice lol very delicious! Our server was very nice and attentive too! The only "issue" (wasn't really a big issue!) was that I wanted a booth and they said the booths were all reserved, but there was a whole other side that wasn't in use during the entire night we were there (several booths) and they didn't offer those. Not a huge deal but there wasn't an option to reserve a booth or else I would've made sure to do it. We had a great time overall! Food was delicious and service was great. Will def be back (hopefully in a booth lol).

Our waitress (I'm kicking myself for not noting her name) recommended 2 fantastic IPAs in a sea of IPAs for myself and an amazing sour for my wife.

The service could be improved a bit. When we walked in, there was nobody to greet us within the first couple mins. After we got seated it was fine. They have pinball machines that you can play. I believe they're $1. They also have a room for parties and poker night. We ordered the hipsters vs lumberjacks beer, huckleberry wheat beer, a dozen chicken wings with sweet heat bbq, holy grail pizza. This would be a perfect 5 out of 5, however improve the service when customers walk in. 4.5 out of 5. -hipsters vs lumberjacks 5 - easy drinking red ale with vanilla. It's smooth and light. -huckleberry wheat 5 - this is an easy beer to sip during the summer. You can taste the berries but it's not overpowering. Mildly sweet beer. -chicken wings 5 - the chicken wings has flavor even without the bbq sauce. They are nicely grilled then lightly fried. The meat is very tender and juicy. -holy grail pizza 5 - the crust is cracker thin and crispy when it's hot. The pizza has a lot of flavor. You get some mild heat from the jalapeños and hot honey. Then, the mozzarella and ricotta cheese help cool your tongue. Everything is well balanced.

Whiskey Hill is a funny name, as this place has beer, not whiskey. Oh well, what they have is still good. There's a pretty good selection including some hoppy and sours. A lot of breweries are in kind of strange areas. It's the case with this one. This is located on Vandustrial in a building it share with some offices and whatever. Lots of trucking companies around here. There's semis parked along the street. Anyway, the beers. It's about $6 a pour. It's not quite a pint but whatever. Even so, a pretty good price for a small brewery. Has many to choose from. Best was the 7 Mile Bridge. It's a Belgian Weisse with key lime, toasted coconut, and vanilla. A lot of lime flavor. This is almost like a sour to be honest. A pretty strong one at 7% ABV. There's not a whole lot on tap, but they manage to have quite a bit for a microbrewery to be honest. Get some beers on tap or take some of the cans to go. It's a small place but when it's warmer they have a patio. There's no food but sometimes there's food trucks.

We chose to sit in their outdoor area because the weather was beautiful. For this visit, I've tried: Armadillo eggs- I like the crunch of the crumbs, the flavors were good, but the filling was too heavy Kalbi Short Rib bowl- this was my daughter's dish. it was just ok The Nuremburger- this was the burger of the month (September). It was delicious; the fries were great as well The Smoky Ghost- if you like spice, this is the burger for you. I tried one of the Seltzer; it was okay. My daughter ordered the Raspberry Lime Cola; it was good, although it was a little too sweet for me. Service was friendly and prompt. Our server was very attentive and efficient. The indoor dining area was super loud, so we made a great choice by sitting outside. I wish they had more options for Filipino dishes. I only saw the lumpia appetizer and the beef sisig entree. Maybe next time?
