So good - and hyper local! Patrick is making great beers. Totally worth the slightly out of the way location, with a fantastic variety of really, really good beers. The Strawpile lager I had first was a light copper color with subtle caramel-y flavor and a very smooth finish. Had the Pilsner before, which was perfectly crisp. Finished today with the Czech lager, which was similarly colored and a little hoppier. Next time I'll go just with the Strawpile.
Fun, friendly atmosphere right in the brewing room, and I heard there's a sister facility in Basalt (I'll stop in) AND something coming for downtown Carbondale. They're doing a ton of great community outreach, too - look for their taps at SkiCo and at non-profit events. read more
