Went here after golfing with a buddy and had a solid IPA and a pretty good Oktoberfest. The variety available is good enough that most people should be able to find something they like. A really nice outdoor seating area with a couple of fire tables and Adirondack chairs makes it comfortable and inviting. I happened to be there on a Sunday afternoon and I think a football game was going on or just ended because there were a bunch of unsupervised kids running around the tables. Not that they were over the top obnoxious, but they were definitely distracting.

We remembered that…read morethe food was pretty good too so we decided to stop by again while we were visiting our aunt. It happened to be their anniversary weekend so they were pretty busy. I'm not much of a beer drinker so I didn't order anything to drink but my husband got an IPA and enjoyed it just as much as the last time. For food, I ordered the gyro sandwich and my husband got the lobster rolls. Unfortunately, my gyro was a bit too salty and slightly charred so I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. However, I absolutely loved the chips that came with it. I can't remember what they called them but they tasted almost like a funnel cake and were very addictive. They had some tables set up outside and since it was warm enough that evening, we decided to sit out there. I just wish the lighting had been a little better because it was pretty dark. I even had to ask my husband to use his phone's flashlight so I could take pictures of the food. LOL

The other brewery has the more visible Main St location, but it was very dark inside and heavy metal music was playing loudly. Mechanistic is just around the corner and has a much warmer, brighter vibe with a lot of outdoor tables. The inside bar area is small but has good natural light, and they were setting up for an event in a larger room next door. Our bartender was friendly and welcoming, and mentioned they weren't officially open that day except for the event, so we appreciated being welcomed in. I ordered a pumpkin beer and it was SO GOOD. I've had several recently, and this was my favorite. It tastes like a slice of fresh pumpkin pie, smooth and sweet but not overly so. Would definitely return here.

The initially forgot to put the crab on them, but it was quickly remedied. The combination of flavors was perfect. I had a burger and it was good as well. My husband chose the Valentine's special which came with a salad, pasta dish and chocolate cake. I like that they have both beer and seltzer that they make. I sampled a few beers but ultimately ordered a pear seltzer. My husband had the Oktoberfest. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

When we pulled in, I was wondering what it would be like because it has a strip mall type facade. So when I went in, I was pleasantly surprised at the unique decor. Some stained glass and some really neat artwork. You can see the kitchen and the pizza oven, Service was a little slow at times, but overall pretty good. For example, we were seated and it took a bit of time for someone to greet us. Then a lot of attention was paid until we ordered, then we had to hunt someone down to ask for our check. Maybe it was an off day. Overall, though, our server was knowledgeable about the food and beer options and was friendly and courteous. It was an interesting menu. Pizzas and ramen bowls are not usually things I'd expect to be served at the same restaurant, but they are both apparently highlight of their menu. I ordered the cauliflower appetizer and my husband ordered a salad. The cauliflower had an amazing sauce that gave it a kick but was also sweet. A perfect combination. For our main entrees, I ordered the daily ramen bowl special and my husband ordered the taco special. He loved his tacos. I was a bit underwhelmed by my ramen. The noodles were in a weird clump and it was somehow both too hot and too cold. It did have nice flavor overall, though. The beers, they weren't our favorite, but they weren't bad either. Overall an enjoyable experience and someplace I'd go back to.

Cutting to the chase, the brown ale was good, definitely merits the 4+ ratings on beer sites, no doubt. Brewery part of the stop was well-executed. Food took things in a very wrong direction.... Concern being that I ordered a simple mac n' cheese (I guess "large" size - $13.50, what?), adding some "famous pulled pork," which ended up being $16.50 or something along those lines - I received a MICRO, emphasizing MICRO order of mac n' cheese in a small bowl that probably cost them $1.25 to make - great, flavors were just very average and they seemed to be all jazzed that it came with chopped jalapeno on the top. Fancy, y'all. Cost-wise, one pint of beer and this incredibly tiny meal cost over $30, post-tip (still hooked them up) in a dead downtown that frankly needs all the business it can get. Got gas one the outskirts and the strip malls are absolutely surging, which would usually be a major bummer for me, but honestly not in this case after getting econo-slammed. I was honestly shocked there weren't those neon signs in cursive that said stuff like "chow down, chug down," grass on the vertical wall, and other basic things, but I was probably too preoccupied by the fact that every table had "hold for reservation" and I wasn't pointed to sit places, with the bar being full and all, until I asked. Summary - MID, MID, MID food that's in small portions that is an absolute shill in 2025, in a community that's on it's downside economically. So frustrating that places like this are highly-touted.
