Kenny is very knowledgeable on his beers, and I actively see him thinking about how to make the old filling station a better place, operations, renovations, etc. Lindsay was making some excellent small food for the current coronavirus situation, and slinging those beers as well. I hope to see more good stuff from the place in the future! Go and visit! It's hella laid back, but that means no pressure. A very good addition to Independence.

The space was huge - way bigger than expected. I was bummed there was only one IPA and the keg blew on my order. She replaced it with a hazy IPA which I didn't love, but ordered anyway because I felt awkward standing up there. The way the bar is arranged isn't great - the bartender was positioned to stand right in front of the beer list, so I had to move around to see. I felt uncomfortable.

When I heard Stayton was getting its very own brewery, I was happy to hear their downtown was…read moregetting a lift. But when I heard Matt Spenner was going to be the brew master, excitement crept in. Because if anyone should be able to make good beer, it would be a Spenner. (This is generations of research manifesting itself here, folks). I was not disappointed. To start with, they have some funky names: Citra Lee Ale (named after Matt's wife Crystal, who's a brew mistress (is that even a term?) with Matt), Eukanot Do That on Television IPA (pretty awesome name considering the stuff on TV nowadays), and my favorite to drink, the Schmokin Porter. Their selection is limited, but they have guest beers (and wines), and they'll be coming up with new stuff so stay tuned. The place is open and airy and comfortable. No TVs or one arm bandits here, so you're gonna have to socialize, which is a good thing in my book. Add a dose of country music in the background, and voila, you're soaking in a cool vibe and sucking down some yummy suds. If you want grub, there's a food truck around when you need it. Plus, with the bay doors open, it's like you're chillin' in your bud's new backyard brewery, which is uber cool.

Came to this location a few times with some coworkers. If we had tried it out sooner, we would have…read morebeen regulars for the time we were working in the area. The inside is nice tables and seating at the bar. The service excellent. 48 items on tap. Ciders, stouts, ipas, reds, ales, and many more different types of beers. Beers available for purchase in can or bottle form, as well as growlers to go. There are snacks on the house. Pretzels, popcorn, nuts, and a spicy mix. We went on a trivia night, right before Halloween. Had a good time. I wish we had something like this where I am from. If in the area again, I would be stopping in.

The inside of the taphouse is clean and open, and the people are friendly. The pour for the Guinness was solid. The outdoor area had a good amount of seating. With a fire pit and TV. They have the ability to curtain off the outdoor area for poor weather seating as well. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is due to not having a food menu. However, they do have a few pub snacks to munch on if needed.

This was a return visit that was much overdue. If you don't know about the Benedictine Brewery and…read moreyou love artfully hand crafted beer? You need to become acquainted. The monks of the Mount Angel Benedictine Abbey are practicing a centuries old tradition... As part of their daily observation of life, they brew beer. Let me tell you it is absolutely outstanding. The grounds are breathtaking, on a little hillside outside of Mount Angel, just under an hour south Portland. I highly recommend that you take one of the more scenic drives instead of just blasting down I-5, but you do you. It's not a restaurant per se. But there are snacks. And there is a large selection of beer. My partner and I already knew that we had no idea what we wanted because we want everything and that would make driving home extremely difficult. So we opted for the only logical choice: the sampler Their sampler boards come with either four or five slots, and they provide a 4 ounce pour into the sampler glass. We each got a five spot board, and two additional drinking glasses so that we could pour splits, and were thus able to sample 10 of the brews on tap. We also decided that snacks were in order so we got the spinach, artichoke dip, times two. You order at the counter and when your order is prepared, you are called and can pick it up. It's a very simple set up, harkening back to a simpler time in many ways. Some of the taps vary seasonally. Some of them are occasionally just out. I can't tell you what you're going to find. But I can tell you if the Hairshirt, the Half Cloak, and the Little Tyrant are on tap? You definitely want to sample those. This is not typical mid-grade Portland IPA... These are exceptional brews across a variety of styles Highly recommended! I go down every time I get a chance and suggest that you might want to consider that as well

Needless to say, we were hungry. It took the waitress 2 tries and 45 minutes to get our drinks, which consisted of 6 diet cokes, a cocktail, and a glass of wine (not hard). And she refused to put in any food until she had gotten our drinks. When we finally did get to ordered food, they were out of several things on the menu and it was at least another 45 minutes until anything showed up. The first thing dropped off was 1 appetizer (for 8 people). This was followed maybe 15 minutes later by 2 entrees. Which were followed another 20 minutes later by the remaining 6 entrees, at least 2 of which were wrong. I got the burger, which was basically a hockey puck. Overall, it was a miserable two hours with the most incompetent and unpleasant restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Please save yourself the misery and skip this place.

The area is hidden in the hop fields which adds a nice ambiance. There is plenty of parking on the gravel. Lots of seating both in the shade and not, and both large and smaller tables.

Near the beer area there is a water station to grab yourself, or your furry friend (they have dog bowls available) a glass of water. Seems like a great get together area.
