We visited on a Saturday in March, as we explored the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. The building itself…read morehas plenty of space. Downstairs, there are lots of places to sit and read or play a game. The bathroom was clean and nice. They are picnic-friendly and dog-friendly. The tasting room is upstairs with some seating inside. They focus on dry wines (our favorites anyway). We chose a nice dry flight of 4 wines and enjoyed them outside on the patio. Their patio is several levels with additional seating below. Mature trees grow through the patio levels so I expect that the patio would be nicely shaded on a hot summer day. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. This was a quiet visit but we enjoyed the wine and our dog liked the patio. The cell phone reception isn't great here - when we left, we had to drive a bit away to get GPS to work again.

Sign at the end of the gravel road announced our arrival. Pulled into the lot and we were the only ones there beyond the workers late in the afternoon on a Sunday. Cash only but they have an ATM on site. Visited the brewery room and perused the different beers available on draft, in bottles, and growlers. Ordered a pizza, the green tomato and sausage. And chose a flight of beer, four for $13. Sumac Sour, Fig Porter, Dead Leaves, and Basil Saison. I enjoyed every one of them, but the Dead Leaves was my overall favorite. I decided on that one as my take home growler. I really enjoyed the green tomato sausage pizza, I enjoy a green tomato, not many restaurants have them on their menu in a state other than fried, so I had to get it. The flavors were great; the tartness of the green tomato went well with the sausage. The space is incredible, very rustic and woodsy, the perfect backdrop to the foraged beers. Every space was decked out with funky colors and artwork. I really wish it was closer, definitely a road trip to go back but feel it would be worth it in each of the seasons!

Unimpressive. I will say, I'm not a beer drinker, but I was excited to finally check this place out…read morebecause I had heard that they have great food! It was a very limited menu. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer and that came out with the meal. I had the quesadilla and my husband had the bacon wrapped meatloaf. Nothing was bad, but it wasn't great either. I was disappointed in the drink options as well. If you are looking for beer on tap, this is your place. However, they only have cocktails on tap and a very limited selection at that. 4 wine options. Soda. Water. That's it. Unfortunately this isn't listed anywhere on the website, so we weren't expecting them to not have a bar. We ordered strawberry margaritas and they were ok. Would we go back? Not likely.

My wife and I have made it a modest habit to try out new breweries. I now live in St. Louis, but…read moreregularly make it home to Southern Illinois to visit my family. I'd seen the Route 51 Brewery a couple times when going between Carbondale and DuQuoin. Over Christmas weekend we decided to check it out along with one of my high school friends. The beer selection was excellent. We enjoyed all of the different brews we had in our flights. There is a modest selection of food. We got pretzels and pickle chips. Both were decent. I wouldn't go out of my way for the food, but it was a nice compliment to the quality beer. The facility was new, well maintained, and I dug the scorched wood tables. There is a stage where bands can play, and a reception hall nextdoor. Overall I think it is a nice addition to the brewery and winery industry that has grown over the last decade. Check it out if you are in the area.
