The Phoenix Brewing Co. is a brewery that I did not have on my list to try but with the fiery bird…read morerepresenting so noticeablely on the front and my fondness for the creature making this a stop for a beer and a possible swag purchase opportunity was to great to resist. The beer that Steve and I had was the Red Band which is a lager which I enjoy the majority of the time. Flavors to find with hopefully fun involved are malty, sweet (a natural sweetness probably from the flaked corn involved), hoppy, crisp and clean in the finish. Typical for this beer type it was light bodied also. Swag was indeed purchased here as I knew the likelihood of this happening was high and I got a very nifty t-shirt from the transaction.

You can bring your own camp chairs and sit in the grass or use their seating. They had 4 different food trucks today. I ordered a flight of beers and the peach bourbon smash. This is a very family friendly place and they encourage people to hang out. Bring a game, a craft, or cards. They also have some games in the bar area to borrow while you're here. The parking lots were full but with the huge weather there were a lot of people outside. So glad a friend recommended we come here.

The place is well marked with a huge gravel with some grass parking lot directly across the street. There is a crosswalk abd good visibility on this country road. Frankly this is my favorite event place of all that I have been to. Plus apparently they are open at other times for the public. Clean, huge, but still extremely attractive where you didnt feel like you were in a large school cafeteria. AMPLE outdoor space as well. Picnic tables with red umbrellas. My experience with brewerys is that for those of us not into beers, iPAs, ales, your choices are minimal or yucky. Not here, we could choose from 4 pages of selections for our event. My problem was there were so many of them I wanted and an equally good selection for hubby who IS into brewery stuff. I got a blackberry or something bramble and hubby got a yellow something. He loved it. I tasted it and nope, don't like brewed stuff. I think this is a great choice for an event or just to come when they are open to the public. Exceptionally friendly and competent employees

We loved the arcade with several pinball machines and an old arcade cabinet with a few classics. The beer was IPA focused and they are masters at making tasty beer that hides the alcohol. I smoked a few and loved them all: Helmet Nachos, Everybody Wants Some, and South of Eleven. Good truck is just outside. We ordered and loved the southwest nacho fries. Tasty and a huge portion. Staff were uniformly friendly and answered our questions (I had many about the beers). Definitely will visit again when heading to Columbus.

It seemed like a risky choice but it is in the top risotto favors I've ever had. I was shocked at how fantastic it was. The egg roll burger was a special, that was also so good. Our service was perfection, I almost don't like going out to eat anymore because service is so poor everywhere. But this place delivered in every single way. Oh ya... and the beers were good That's why we came.

Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts appetizer (not pictured unfortunately) as they definitely do them differently than most places and they were great. Burgers were fresh and delicious.

Would love to just grab some games and some beers and just chill. Beer was great and I enjoyed them in a flight, especially their IPL. Cons: paraphrasing Ian Malcolm- "there are pigs at this brewery" as they were a shy this afternoon. Not sure where they were but didn't get a chance to see them. Obviously not a detractor from this place as the grounds are impressive enough. Also, whoever created the logo needs an award. One of the best brewery logos I've even seen and I was lucky to grab their last magnet.

Great atmosphere and spacious hall with plenty of seating with a good amount of bar seating as well. Awesome service and hospitality from the craft tenders! Known for their IPAs (which is prefect for ya boy ha) they had a good 6 different kinds to choose from, as well as a handful of other style drafts as well so you'll be sure to find something to your liking! 10/10 on every beer I tasted - truly.

First time stopping in to JAFB…read more I am impressed! One bartender serving everyone - and the dude was fast. No time wasted. It's large, several tables - we were able to play some card games while we drank. A nice spot, clearly?l, to come with friends. The important part - their beers were all solid. I have had a couple of their beers in the past, but at Land Grant's Oktoberfest my friend kept bringing me their Cold IPA (I was pouring for Sierra Nevada) - my girlfriend - who grew up in Wooster - ended up pouring JAFB. I believe the brewer Josh was at Oktoberfest, too! Plain and simple? It's a good damn brewery. I look forward to coming back in the future.
