I can not believe this place has been open since 2015 and there is no review. This small local brewery serves up their beer on site, but if you want to take some home you will need to bring a growler. I have never heard of them before, and I found out they only sell and distribute locally to restaurants. No cans available as of yet, but I heard they might start selling their beer in cans and distributing outside this area. I tried their amber, the IPA, and the blond. The amber had a strong roasted flavor, very coffee like. My lady really liked the amber. I thought the IPA was okay, but I really liked the blond. Of the 3 we tried, I think that was the best. They have a descent bar, and you can bring food in from outside if you wish. They had live music on Saturday afternoon, which was a nice touch.

Great local brewery with a wide range of beer styles. Knowledgeable, and friendly staff. I recommend the Juicy Double IPA, and the hubby recommends the Oktoberfest. Outdoor patio for those that smoke (like my husband) and a food truck just pulled in!

DIPA-358

Great spot tucked away across from the lake in Guntersville! Amazing fresh from the tap beer and they always have a great selection. Service is the best I've had anywhere. Do yourself a favor and come in here weekly. You will not regret it. I personally suggest the DIPA-358 but it's not for beginners at 9.5%. What ever you get you will enjoy it, I have no doubt.

We were traveling from Huntsville to Birmingham and stopped to get gas in Cullman. That's when we…read moreremembered that Goat Island Brewery was just down the street. We have loved their Blood Orange Berliner Weisse for years and have always said we needed to make it to the brewery. Today was the perfect chance. It was a Sunday afternoon, and luckily, they were open. There were just a few people, but as they day progressed, more trickled in. Michelle, the beertender, at the time was great. She suggested all sorts of beers based on my taste and let me sample them all. One suggestion she had was to mix the Mango with the Blood Orange. It was really good. The two that I ended up drinking were the Duck River Dunkel and the ISB English Ale. I also liked that they had pretzels and popcorn as bar snacks. We met some really nice people and talked for a while. It reminded me of the old summer days when everyone would just sit and talk and enjoy life. It sure beat the fast-paced and scheduled life that goes on today.

They had a band called Bob and the Fog playing. They sounded good. There is room to dance. They host other social events like Bingo, corn hole toss and darts. Parking is ok for persons with disabilities. They also allow outside food but NO DRINKS. I saw some deliveries in the area. They also had a food trailer in the parking lot. That person sold fried fish and chicken with chips it was ok. I think some pizzas would be great. Plenty of beer to choose from their house menu. They have some wine and canned sodas. Prices are fare. Overall had a good time and we would come back.

Goat Island Brewing - Big Bridge IPA has an intense burst of hop flavor and aroma. The hop varieties used impart hints of apricot, mango, pine and citrus.

The BrewMaster works behind large glass windows making the brews. Pretty cool !!! They do have music, trivia on various nights of the week....... Easy, Grab a corner for your "gatherings" and have fun !! The beer is plentiful, not a super large selection but something for everyone. I had the Amber Lager..... very tasty with a clean finish. The patio doors are the big, glass garage style doors that I imagine would be great opened in good weather.. Wood Fired oven Pizzas are ordered next door @ the Bloom Winery. We didn't eat but it smelled & looked good. We would stop again.

The beer selection is solid and everything we've tried has been excellent. My personal favorite is the OG. If you like trying different styles and switching things up, this place definitely delivers. This time we ended up getting hungry and ordered a pizza from the adjoining restaurant and winery. I'll be dropping a separate review on that soon. Overall, this spot is consistently a good time and worth stopping by.

Mostly the food. That said, since this location has opened, it's been somewhat puzzling to observe and experience. This location is massive and a wonderful use of space and location, huge bonus. The food here is 9/10, easily. Some of the best burgers and pizza in town. I've also had their wings, RIP white sauce. I've had their beet salad, RIP beet salad. I've also had their Asian chicken sandwich, it's not RIP but it wasn't that great. Their menu changes pretty regularly, which is a blessing and a curse. You sometimes miss great dishes and other times, it's nice to have constant new favorites. The staff here is such an odd thing. Coming from almost two decades in Austin, we had a huge brewery scene and culture. That said, some of the folks working here seem either annoyed by their customers or that they're doing everyone a huge favor by being here. That's such weird thing. Even my partner, who doesn't get bothered much got annoyed by one of their more surly beertenders. Continuing the lamentation of days of yore, they just don't have much fresh turnover of beers here. I often see the same beers month after month, if anything that's a sad testament of the current state of the craft beer economy. Lastly, regarding service, it makes absolutely zero sense as a patron living in SEC country, that leadership of this wonderful space would CHOOSE not to put their TV's on a sporting event with ties to the region. I had an employee assist with a TV only for the manager to chastise him for doing it right in front of me. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would rather be that right about making customers happy, there with other patrons nearby thanking me, only to subject your paying customers to have to watch an infomercial on your ginormous TV's. Holy cow, read the room! Anyway, thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
