    Beer
    Troy S.

    I happen to be driving through Illinois and saw this on Google maps. It is definitely worth the detour off the interstate. What a great little brewery. Super friendly staff. They sell liquor as well and had a nice bourbon selection. You can carry food if you like. Small brewery in the basement level that was visible from the first level seating room.

    FIVE PLUS STARS! What a great brewery in a beautiful building in a cute town. The owners were so friendly, chatted with us a bit and gave us some great info about other businesses. They definitely support the small biz community. Beer was fantastic, started with a flight and moved on to full pours. Fermented Sour was awesome. Hubby loved the IPA. We were passing through for a work trip so if I have to do it again, no doubt we will be stopping here.

    We love a great flight!

    Nice atmosphere and good tasting craft beers. Friendly owners as well! We will definitely be back.

    Really cool place to come and chill out! Lots of interesting beers and they also have signature drinks.

    Custom flight (choose four 7 oz.) was great.

    Was here from Texas visiting relatives and this place is fantastic. The atmosphere is super chill and the selection was great. Really good to see small businesses like this revitalizing this town. I hope to see them continue strong!

    Lemon Shady and Big Muddy! Excellent brew!

The air conditioning was good, since it was in the upper 90s all weekend. My low rating is based on the following: nobody working the front desk. We would have liked to ask locals where to go. No hospitality there. Personally, I find this new trend for owners or hosts to not be present is rude and off-putting. The lack of human interactions is depressing and unwelcoming. (Fortunately for us, wherever we dined, the servers were happy to answer our questions.) The fruit bowl on the front desk counter seems like it sat out the entire weekend, with no refrigeration. The bar downstairs doesn't take cash. (I believe that will be against the law in 2028, according to an Illinois bill) No need for us to visit again.

He's created an atmosphere--and product--that makes me want to stick around awhile. In fact, for our last visit we got carry-out food from an Italian restaurant in town and enjoyed it at MC's bar so we could make an evening of it. The mood in the room is comfortable, with high ceilings, dark wood, and just enough warm lighting. The music is cool; Tracy knows what works in the space and creates a nice vibe. Printed menus are readily available, listing current house beers, guest taps, and can and bottle offerings. They also have a nice cocktail menu featuring house-made cordials and such. And the beer--it's really good! They specialize in oak-fermented ales, and seem to know what they're doing and take pride in their work. A couple farmhouse ales hit the spot on a recent hot day. My fave on the menu was the Orange Peeler saison, and I regret not bringing home some cans (the first beer they've canned, I believe.) They also have some collabs with Perennial Artisan Ales available in bottles; those did come home with us. Another beer that's not currently on the menu, but I enjoyed a few months ago: Fuzzy Guitars, an oak-aged saison with blackberries. There's always something new and interesting here, as well as beers worth coming back to each time. Also a hit for me: the cocktails and mocktails. I chose a cocktail off the menu (the name of it escapes me... something about a worm) that involved tequila, absinthe, vermouth, and... I don't know what else but it was perfectly balanced and lovely to sip. I followed that up with a flavored soda that was also top-notch. Mississippi Culture is hosting events, including live music and trivia nights--I'm looking forward to returning for those soon.

    Just outside Assumption, Illinois is Cypress Grove Farm, where "belties" - a traditional Scottish…read morebreed of beef cattle properly called the Belted Galloway - are raised. Cypress Grove has a farm store as well, and as of 2019, a side business as a brewery. A bit of digging through online newspaper articles showed that the owners were partners in the original iteration of 1905 Brewing Company in town, but left the partnership when that bar burned down in 2019. Now they make beer out on their farm, offering it by the cup, crowler, and growler in their farm store. Plenty of picnic tables and lawn chairs were spread under large oak trees on the lawn.They have food trucks on the premises on select weekends; for our visit, just brats and chips were available, plus meat and cheese from the farm store. Guests are warmly greeted, and welcome to stroll around the property to see the fields and cattle. During our COVID-era visit, masks were worn indoors and parties were safely distanced outside. The beers we tried were excellent, including an Irish Red, a "Trials and Tritical-ations" experimental pale ale, and a couple sours. We took home some crowlers, including a "Pork Snout Milk Stout" which really is infused with pork... interesting, but not for me! Cypress Grove was definitely worth driving a few miles off our planned trek through Christian County. It's a lovely setting with friendly folks and great brews.

My wife had a Chicken Caesar Wrap & Garlic Parmesan Fries, which she said was so good, we will definitely be back. I couldn't decide which beer to try, so I got a flight consisting of the Kicks, SIUE Cougar Red Lager, Printer's Ink, and French Press. Although I liked them all, I liked the French Press the best. I'll be getting the French Press on next visit - unless I want a bit of all four again. We will definitely be going back.

I've been a lot of places, but the country girl in me remains. So when I saw the mason glasses on the table I knew I was about to eat good. The menu was straight to the point (they have hummus) and that makes me feel like you're sharing your favorite dishes consistently. The drink menu is extensive (because it's a distillery) and there are so many unique things you can try. I had the blackberry lemon press and it was yummy. We also had the sloppy fries, smash burgers (one with signature bacon jam), onion rings, cheesecake, and carrot cake. It was all very flavorful. They have a store attached if you want to take some drinks home & they have a virgin menu for your Christian friends. The dining room is well lit and you can eat outside on good weather days. Even in bad weather days, it's a nice view outside with only glass between you and outdoors. Staff were great and service was timely. I would say the food is cooked to order & you don't need to tell them how to prepare a burger. It comes out juicy and medium well to perfection. They also have a BBQ kick to the ketchup they serve. Oh, there's a Rte 66 sign around the corner if you're just passing through (but I get the sense they know if you're not from around those parts). I hope your dining experience is as good as mine was!

Even though it completely destroyed the building, it wasn't the end. This story inspired us to come to check it out. After poking around in Decatur awhile, we came for the awesome beer. It's kind of a ways to get to Assumption, on some lonely highway. The restaurant in town, DJ's has some of this on tap. Because this place is only open Fridays and Saturdays, you can go there when the brewery is closed. The brewery was open though. It's about $5 a pint. They have a pretty large variety. I had the 1905 Citra. This is an IPA, and wasn't crazy hoppy. Has no food except maybe chips. They however allow customers to bring in food from the restaurants around here. Good beer. It's also a good story and gives this rinky dink town of Assumption something to be proud of. This is worth a drive to check out what they have become even with a setback.
