Ok, last brewery for me today. This makes my 282nd!! No, not today of course, that is my total…read more Under Pressure was pretty close to my hotel as I was headed back so I had to stop. It's quite the different vibe from the previous brewery I was at today. UP had a taco truck out front and since I hadn't eaten in over 12 hours, and I love tacos, I picked up a couple. Fabulous tacos but I can't recall the name of the truck. Actually in posting my photos I see I got the name of the truck in a photo, Tacopolis! UP is kind of dark and quiet. I felt like I was in the library in Dracula's castle or something. It's cool but has a very different vibe than most breweries. I like it! I got a flight of four and then added a fifth because, well, me. And because UP has 27 beers on tap! I started with Lick It Up peaches and cream ale which had a nice peach flavor. Next was, well, I kinda forgot. I was sitting at the bar tasting beers and working on this review when a friendly gent started talking to me. So instead of doing the review we talked beers with the bartender. I'll just say EVERYTHING I tried here was really good. A few highlights were the Irish red (SWPFTD would approve), the blueberry cream stout, the chocolate cream stout, and the rauchbier. Under Pressure is brewing up some excellent beers. If you don't stop in and try them, well, you're wrong. Enough said... If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

I came here with a group of friends for an evening hang out. We didn't know what to expect coming…read morein here and probably left a bit more confused. Walking into the brew hall, we were immersed in medieval scenery with knight armor and weaponry positioned throughout brew hall. There was a really cool library with a wide assortment of books and some board games people could interact with. The vibes inside were very chill which was a huge plus. In terms of drinks, we were overwhelmed with how many options we could choose from and with how unique all of the flavors were. I decided to go with an 8 flight of beers as I couldn't narrow down a particular drink that caught my attention and thank goodness I went with that route. Out of the 8 beers I selected, I only truly liked 3 of the drinks. Some of the flavors I felt from the drinks that I didn't like reminded me of dish soap, sardines, and burnt wood (just to name a few). In terms of food, they had a food truck on site which had pretty good food and the overall staff were very nice. It's one of those places where I'm happy I came to experience the place, but isn't a top priority for me to make another visit.

As we walked in there was a community of people playing games and having a great time. We stopped…read moreby to check out the comics and were able to find a few books to add to the collection. They have a large selection of back issues and new releases. If you are looking for graphic novels instead don't worry they've probably got what you are looking for. I do wish they had more $1 books and more expensive wall books, but overall a good amount of inventory to browse through. They also have Funko Pops, Board Games, Magic the Gathering, and other TCGs. This was a very welcoming space and the guy at the counter helped me out with a few questions I had. We will be back!

Y'all KNOW if there's a new game store in town I have to show up to scout out the situation…read more Spoiler alert: this one is a WIN. R - Really cool owner. I choose my game shops largely based on interactions with the staff. They can make or break your experience. Mikey was incredibly inviting and upbeat - definitely made us want to come back! O - Opportunity to meet other people that love to game. Rockhopper drew a pretty decent crowd for being open such a short time. Can't wait to see it on a busy day. C - Commander nights on Saturdays and Tuesdays starting at 4pm. Most places start later and make it tough to work into your schedule. This is a huge win for me. K - Knowledge. There is nothing worse than a game store owner that knows nothing about games. Mikey had all the information pertaining to games, sets, scheduling, and his clientele. He's a real one. H - Hangover commander. Yes. Sundays are the day for hangover commander, D&D, and whatever else people are feeling like after a rough Saturday night. We love to see it. O - Open to everyone. As they should be. Happy Pride Month! P - Penguin theme. Self explanatory. P - Pretty good selection of comics, singles, board games, and other various game related items. E - Environment. The location and the vibe were very cool to us. It's nice to have a gaming location outside of the cities that is doing everything right! R - Raffles. Always fun. To conclude: we were pumped to find this spot. I'm curious to see how they'll handle busy times as it's a bit on the smaller side - but I imagine they'll have it all figured out. If I can order singles to this store - it's game over. Go check it out!

Update 5/10/26: 5 stars now that they added back issues! We picked up a bunch of bundles and single…read moreissues! This is our local card and comic shop. Every time we walk in, we are greeted by welcoming people! The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Comics: The new comics section is great, but other shops do have larger sections. I haven't had an issue getting the books I want. If you sign up for their free subscription plan for new comics you get 10% off! I hope they start keeping back issues at this location. They have had them on special occasions but not like the other locations. Me and my girlfriend love looking through dollar boxes and discount bins when we are looking for new stories to read. If possible, please do more back issues!!! :) Trading Cards: Their trading card section like every other game store is always running low. They carry pretty much all your big games (Pokemon, MTG, One Piece, Lorcana, Yugioh, ect) as well as smaller games. The prices however are all over the place. We have picked up Pokemon and One Piece at retail prices, but sometimes they are over market. They aren't always that way, so I am curious how they price their sealed products. I haven't played MTG in a while and was curious about a bundle they had it seemed a bit high to me, and I looked it up on TCG Player when I got home and it was well over market price. I am not complaining because this is how every store operates nowadays and everybody wants the product! Can't be mad at it. Overall, the store is great and the people are nice. If they could expand their comic sections and add back issues, we would spend more money here!

I enjoy coming to hopkins, there's a big parking lot and ramp that's free. Everything is within walking distance. This brewery is on the corner, there's parking behind the building. Also noticed there's a food truck, they are servicing food for the brewery guests. There was also a live performer, he was pretty good too. We ordered a flight and root beer. Brewery is good size, family friendly also.

LTD Brewing is a solid spot to grab a beer and hang out with friends. The space is large with…read moreplenty of seating, so finding a place to sit won't be an issue. That said, the taproom felt a little darker than I expected, and most of the seating is wooden with no padding on either the seat or backrest. It fits the brewery aesthetic, but after a while it was not the most comfortable place to linger. The beer selection is impressive with plenty of options to choose from. I tried one of their IPAs and really enjoyed it. It was well-balanced, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for from a local brewery. Service was another highlight. Our server was friendly, attentive, and did a great job checking in without being intrusive. Good service can make a big difference in a brewery setting, and it definitely elevated the experience here. Overall, LTD Brewing offers a great selection of beer, plenty of space, and excellent service. The only thing holding it back from a higher rating for me was the somewhat dark atmosphere and the less-than-comfortable seating.
