Stop 4 of 9 on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing Brewery Race 2025 (going after State 5)
We arrived around 10min before close, seriously pushing last call. The gal working told us we were still ok to get our 2 pours, pics & join the other patrons in their great outdoor space, which really was large and lovely. Or sit inside, if we preferred. We opted to sit outside, with 3 other occupied tables and let her wrap up for the evening, hopefully, without us being a bother so close to close! She was very, very kind & gave us her recommendations based on what was selling well that day. Keep in mind, that's what I'll be basing this on, as it's what we tried.
I had the Buckin Berry Sour which was noted as a refreshing relief on a hot day like it was (91°) - something in the flavor reminded me of the tablets or powder you add to water for hydration. It left an artificial or chemical aftertaste for me, a 3
The hubs had the Alpine Glow at a 3.5, it was refreshing with a nice citrus note - funny thing is that neither of us our big hefeweizen drinkers, so, that was a panic pick & it could be a 5 star here.
We noted that there were some real power players listed and feel we may not be giving a fair shake, as we heard great things about this brewery all the way to Montana. We'll be sure to give it another go & try something more in our wheelhouse on the revisit. Again, it was ok & the space was great. read more
