Absolute pasture-approved excellence. First off, the name says 'Badass,' and for once it's not false advertising. Most places slap edgy words on the sign and then serve beer that tastes like somebody filtered rainwater through a flip-flop. Not here. The beer actually has personality. Bold flavors, small-batch attitude, and enough variety that even a 2,000-pound bovine with anger issues can find a favorite. The atmosphere? Perfect. Cozy, chill, unapologetically local, and zero pretentious craft beer nonsense. Nobody in there is trying to explain 'notes of elderberry with a whisper of regret.' They just hand you a great beer and let you enjoy life like civilized savages. Also, respect to the fact this place started as an actual backyard brewing operation. That's the kind of origin story I can get behind. No corporate boardroom. No focus-grouped IPA names. Just straight-up badass energy and good beer. Wanderlog And let me say this as "no-bull": if your brewery is dog friendly, has live music, rotating taps, and encourages people to relax instead of acting like beer sommeliers defending a PhD thesis... you're doing it right. Final verdict: 5 out of 5 horns. Would absolutely charge through a fence to drink here again." -Mad Cow

As it turned out, we came back three times after that first visit! We'd be there tonight, except we had to head home. The beer is amazing. Good variety and just really well made (in my humble opinion). Plus, they have homemade dog treats and great people food (I've heard - didn't go at dinner time yet). And games! We were playing cribbage, and several people came up and asked if we wanted to join the brewery's cribbage tournament! How fun. The owner, the beertenders, and the customers were all friendly and welcoming. The space itself is cute, with great music and plenty of seating at picnic tables and high tops. Several TVs with sports playing, but without sound.

Recently I have really been enjoying YAYA Cervesa on Spokane Valleys best patio. The beer paired with the new wings from the Big Cheese is the ultimate lunch experience. The beer cheese on the smothered fries is the best beer cheese in the city. The Detroit style pizza has always been good here in the past when it was operated by Sauced i loved the white Iverson, the new dough and hand shredded block cheese is a noticeable upgrade with the new The Big Cheese that makes you appreciate the blessing of being able to eat and drink in an awesome place like this. It is inspiring to see breweries team up with other small business entrepreneurs and go for it with this kind of kitchen and banquet expansion. The staff on both the beer and the restaurant side are incredible and make me feel like a VIP every single time I am in. I am really looking forward to seeing the expansion get finished soon and if it's half as cool as the patio I may need to just move my office into the pinball pit.

However it seems like this place will be bumping later tonight and theyve got lots of seating and outdoor arrangements. I hear they have good food too but I can't speak to that myself. Check it out for sure, and if you're looking for a beer, my favorite was the pineapple guava gose!

They are very knowledgeable. They know their beers! It's made right there. I believe there are 20 on-tap. They have home-brew bottles as well. They sell beer drinker's comfort food; sausages, potato chips, etc., along with all the fix'ens. The range of types of beers is phenomenal. From light, to medium to dark stouts.

MAD COW REVIEWS: 45 DEGREES…read more Listen up, herd. Mad Cow has wandered into 45 Degrees in Spokane Valley multiple times now, and I feel obligated to report my findings: This place is udderly fantastic. Yes, I know I'm a bull. No, I don't have udders. Don't ruin the joke. 45 Degrees is one of those hidden little Spokane Valley watering holes that you almost don't want to tell people about because then everybody will show up and take your favorite spot at the trough. But I'm telling you anyway. THE BEER: Fabulous. They craft their own beer, and you can tell somebody actually gives a damn about what's going into the glass. There's attention to detail here. This isn't "pour something fizzy in a pint glass and slap a clever name on it" beer. Mad Cow takes his grazing seriously. He takes his beer even more seriously. THE OWNER: Incredible host. Every time I've been in, I've felt welcomed. He's friendly, involved, and clearly cares about the people walking through his door. That's becoming increasingly rare, and it's a big part of what makes this place work. THE FOOD: Yep, there's grub. They have appetizers, they're actually GOOD, and they pair perfectly with sitting around having a beer and absolutely nowhere important to be for the next hour. But here's what I like most about 45 Degrees: The herd. The people I've met here are just good people. It's mellow. It's fun. It's welcoming. Nobody seems particularly interested in who you are, what you do, or whether you arrived in a $90,000 truck or rode in on a tractor. Pull up a chair. Have a beer. Join the herd. That's the vibe. It's tucked a little out of the way, which is probably why more people don't know about it yet. Personally, I think Spokane Valley needs to fix that. So Mad Cow is officially letting the secret out of the barn: Go find 45 Degrees. Have an appetizer. Try the beer. Meet the owner. Talk to the people sitting next to you. Just don't take Mad Cow's seat. There WILL be a stampede. MAD COW RATING: 5 HOOVES UP. Yes, cows only have four. It's that good.
