Best thing about this village of Princeton is this brewery. Coal Creek is one of the few places…read morearound here to get beers that aren't crap. It certainly is a welcome change from the corporate swill. Also just a nice place to hang. The prices are pretty good for being small and local. A long trip to out here deserves a cold one and this is where to go. It's one of the few places in town that isn't some dive bar or fast food chain it seems. They actually have a pretty good variety. Kind of unexpected with it being a small one. There's actually a good amount including some fruity sours. It's about $7 a pint. We had a few with the best of these being the More Than A Weekend. It's a summer melon lager. They also make cocktails if that's a preference. For sure it's the best place in town for beers. It's located in downtown in a historic building that's cool to check out. There's no food but you can bring in stuff.

We found RR to be a central meet up point and gave it a shot. We were treated to an as-expected experience. That isn't to say this is a bad spot by any means, it just doesn't offer a ton to write home about. I'll be honest, it's a dive bar. Now I love dive bars, and this is slightly a level up from a true dive bar, but not by much. The decor is no-frills bar-chic and the menu leaves a bit to be desired (I'd love to see just a FEW more options). We had cheese curds to start, which were tasty, and washed them down with some beers. For a meal, I had a burger and it too was tasty; not amazing, but tasty. I also had a side salad which was fine but very small for the price tag. Overall... hm... I found it to be a typical dive bar but, that said, my friend and I will probably look else where for your next rendezvous.

A lot go by and can't believe it's actually here. Trust the map apps and pull in for a few pints. Basically this is as micro as a microbrewery can get. It's pretty much run out of someone's shed. The farm is how this place gets its name, and there's a few interesting artifacts, such as equipment lying around and hanging up on the walls. As expected they only have a few beers. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had was the Broken Spoke, which is an American pale ale. It's about $5 for pretzels. Cool thing is these are made with actual spent grains. The seating is limited but they have a patio with a few tables. For sure it's a place we would come to again. It's got pretty limited hours only being open Fridays to Sundays. This means the best time to go is weekends.

Where relaxation meets inebriation…read more I hadn't heard of this hidden gem until I was talking to a coworker about breweries and he mentioned this place. It didn't take me long to go from hearing about it to visiting. Emily and I popped in on a beautiful Friday evening after I worked a nice 7-day work stretch. I was needing a beer or two and some unwinding. We used GPS to get here because it was in the middle of Nowhere, Metamora. As we approached, we saw a ton of cars and a food truck in the parking lot. For being out of the way, this place was hopping for a Friday evening. We parked and slowly strolled towards the beer house. Once inside, we took a few minutes to look at the beer menu and pick out what we wanted. I got the Rats in the Attic (plus a sticker) and Emily got the Holla Atcha. Where you order is a small building next to a big farm house. It's small and cozy inside. Once you get your beer, you head outside to either sit in this small converted barn or sit around the property. Emily and I decided to sit outside to soak up the setting sun and enjoy the weather. There are plenty of place to sit, with each area offering a different type of view. Emily and I sat and sipped our delicious beers while debating on getting food from the food truck as we were both hungry after a long day. Plus the first beer was hitting fast and quick and we were signed up for at least two for the night. Emily got the California Steak Bowl and I got the Asian Chicken Wrap. The food truck guy said it wouldn't take too long but that we had time to get another beer. Back into the little house we went. I got another Rats in the Celler as it was hitting all the right spots. Emily switched to the Dang! It's a Good One! fruit beer. We walked back to the truck and grabbed our food and headed back to our spot. The wrap I got had some jalapeno in it and it kicked HARD. I planned to sip my beer but it ended up going down quick to soothe the burn. I tried Emily's bowl and she tried my wrap and we both agreed that we had food envy and after we had a bit of our food, we switched. The bowl was a good way to help cool my mouth down (along with the rest of my beer). As much as we wanted to get a 3rd beer, the two that we got plus the food did us in. As we were walking out, we checked out the little converted barn and it would be the perfect place to have some drinks in rainy or cold weather. There's something rustic and antique about the place that I just loved. It's only been a day since I was there but I am craving to go back ASAP. The fact that this place is a farm area turned into a brewery (but still seems to have some farm activities going on) hits all the right notes, plus having a tasty beer on tap helps a ton. It was super relaxing to just sit there and drink some good beer while having a great conversation in the middle of nowhere.
