Relaxed, comfy space that's the antithesis of more corporate-feeling outfits with the same target audience. Parking can be tough at times, but there are free spaces on the street and in the lot to its right that also includes underground spaces. -- Buffalo Wings: Offered in 1- and 2-pound portions, with a steep price for the 1-pound and a steep drop in per-pound price for the 2-pound. My small order had 8 pieces with a very thin coating of Buffalo-ish sauce-- not as spicy or as vinegary, but reasonably piquant and tangy. Not much crisp, but extremely plump and juicy chicken meat underneath. So a mixed bag of flavor and texture, but overall, good. -- True West Burger: Sort of a thick burger, sort of a brioche bun (closer to a better, fresher McDonald's), with vegetation significant part of it. Choice of cheese. Cooked to my requested medium rare, yielding juices. Overall, good burger for its class, though for $22, maybe it should be compared with classier ones. -- Fries (included with the burger): Frozen, somewhat artificial tasting, and a coating of some sort that held in the heavy dose of salt (like pretzel sticks), as if salted even before frying. -- Beers: Plenty of styles and plenty within each style to choose from. I really enjoyed my peachy Pit and Peel New England IPA and liked the Ruckus as well. Service was outstanding. My server Mariana was outgoing, very familiar with both the food and drink offerings, and checked back often. This was probably the determining factor for this tossup between 3 and 4 stars getting nudged to the 4. If it were an option, more of a 3.5. And if you're similarly torn, having some of the best ice cream in the state a few doors down afterward at Westside Creamery might tip the scale for you (literally and figuratively).

    Review for a group on August 13…read more Having been a local patron for 15+ years, I have observed a gradual decline in the food. Salads with just iceberg lettuce, minimal Caesar dressing, and 'out of the box' croutons made for a bland entree. The pulled pork Mac and Cheese had very dried-out pork and lacked cheese. The service was meh, mostly focused on selling more, vs. doing the basics like clearing away used dishes. Too many rookies, not well trained. Beer selection has fallen off as well; I really miss Colonial Gold. Too many IPA's. Turnover with the brewmasters? Mixed drinks are small and expensive. Ambiance is fine, can get loud. My family held a surprise birthday party for me 20 months ago, and everyone loved the buffet entrees, etc. The standards have slipped a lot since then. And I have witnessed this decline on several prior visits since. When I asked my crew about the night, they all agreed that Tavern in the Square (Littleton) was much better for comparable entrees and service. In Acton, Rapscallion is a much better choice for a brewpub for food, beer, and service. We are dropping this venue from our monthly meeting restaurant rotation. Too bad.

We got the veggie risotto and the summer grain bowl. We did not get to try any drinks. I wish the risotto was better and it was actually risotto. It was more like cheesy rice with a few starchy vegetables in it. The summer grain bowl was heavy on the arugula and quinoa, and somewhat stingy on the additives (grapes, strawberries and almonds). The staff had a hard time figuring how to take my payment, though were very nice and apologetic about it. No napkins or eating utensils were included in our take out bag. Perhaps if we came in the late afternoon, we would have had a better experience. I really wanted to like them. We would be open to another opportunity to try it.

I am not a fan of the strawberry ones because they taste too medicinal to me. They def have gotten creative with their flavors -- peach guava, strawberry kiwi, blueberry cobbler. I prefer the Original Blend TBH. Service was fast and friendly. It's cool enjoy the ciders amongst the cans that are getting ready to be filled. Afterwards, we went outside to enjoy a full pour at the pop-up. I got a OB with a tajin rim -- soo good. They have lots of sturdy benches with umbrellas. For food, they have a local hotdog vendor and he seemed pretty popular. When nature calls, you have to use a porta potty but they aren't too bad.

Even tucked away at the end of a strip mall, it checks all the boxes: great beer, good food, plenty of space, and a fun atmosphere. The food comes from a little food truck outside the building rather than a traditional kitchen, but don't let that fool you, everything I've had has been delicious. My boyfriend is a loyal fan of the Cloud Candy IPA (he'll order it anywhere he sees it on tap), while I can never resist the Daiquiri Hard Smoothie (I forget what it's called, but it's so tasty lol). It's dangerously good... like, "I should probably pace myself, but that's a tomorrow problem" good. The brewery itself has a lot going on. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, a coffee shop tucked in the back, a private event room, and even a rock-climbing gym connected to the building, which makes for a pretty unique setup. If you're lucky, you'll even catch the canning line running while you're there, which is fun to watch and reminds you you're drinking the good stuff straight from the source. Whether you're meeting friends for a beer, hanging out for the afternoon, or introducing someone to craft beer, Mighty Squirrel is a solid choice. I'll definitely keep coming back!

And I also have the old fashioned. It was delicious. They made it with hard grapefruit seltzer that they brew themselves. It is very refreshing. I also tried the seasonal latte flight, a cider donut and the banana brûlée latte. I was very pleased with the peppermint mocha. It was minty but not overly so. The gingerbread latte was the best flavor. The cookie butter latte was good. And the vanilla cardamom was my least favorite. I would have liked more of the cardamom flavor. I like that you can try all the seasonal flavors but I would like it better if it was customizable instead of being preset. The service is pretty good. I think you can open a tab or you pay each time you order. There is no waitressing, so they call you up to the bar to get your order and you bring back your dishes to a corner of the counter. The bar/beer side was pretty slow service. I waited for a while to place my order but once I placed my order it wasn't too long before I received my drink.
