I've been wanting to try this new-ish little brewery near my house for ages but small kids and busy…read moreschedules have kept us away. That all changed over the weekend when we stopped in for some pre-dinner drinks. First of all it was their second anniversary party so it was BUSY, but we didn't let that stop us from checking them out! We figured out pretty fast that they have tons of great IPAS and Hazy IPAs on tap which are our favorites. Honestly, I think these are some of the best in the metro area, right up there with Alma Mater and City Barrel for me. The ambiance is chill, and the folks working kind. I truthfully can't wait to return and feel so lucky to have it a stonesthrow from our front door.

I could see why after my visit. All the beers I had were very good. It's a diverse menu with a lot of different beer styles. It seems like they have a rotation of regularly brewed flagships. There was a BBQ popup that was really good. There's also food close by that you can order takeout from to eat at the brewery. I can't wait to come back.

I love the theme nights. Music bingo on Thursdays is my favorite. I haven't attended yet, but the Sporting Kansas City, KC Current and Formula One watch parties look fun. A variety of beers are available on tap. They usually include a few year-round options and a couple of seasonal options. Canned beer - some that isn't available on tap - is available to go. Food isn't cooked on site, however food trucks are parked outside during busier events. You might check with the brewery if you want to bring snacks.

We've had 2 book club meetings here along with many other pop ins and the overall verdict is that it is delicious. The Reuben pizza is what dreams are made of. All the food I've seen come out of the kitchen has been great looking and all parties have said that it's really good. I'm stuck on the pizza though. It's so good that I drive out just for it. The owners dogs are a great plus as well. They are so sweet and love saying hi. It's cute and cozy and it's one of my favorites in the area.

I'd been wanting to check out POG for a few years but just hadn't made it out there. I was recently…read morein the area so I made a pit stop. It's by itself in the middle of nowhere but it's super peaceful. The brewery is good sized and has lots of seating and even an outdoor patio area. They have a full menu of food, lots of beer, and even cocktails and wine for non beer drinkers. Everyone we interacted with was super nice and friendly. We didn't order any food but I was definitely tempted. We stuck with beer. They lean more towards German styles and they are really well done. I ordered a cream ale-Lickey Chewy that features strong butterscotch flavors. This beer was my introduction to POG at a Brewfest a few years ago and it's definitely one to try. I also tried the Eisbock and the stout. All were really good. I'm going to make an effort to return. And I plan to try the food and maybe catch some live music. If you're in the area or just looking to go somewhere outside of the city, definitely check them out!

I can't say enough good things about this brewery! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly,…read morethey have a variety of beers on tap to suit a wide array of palates, the space is welcoming (although I'm very excited for the new location and even more space). We love the music on Sunday afternoons, and the food trucks/bands during the weekend. We love events like cookie decorating and pumpkin carving that they host! I appreciate that they give back to the community (Sundays with a "Pourpus" where part of each beer purchase is donated to a local charity for example), we adopted a puppy on one of those days! We've been coming since they opened and it's been really fun to see how they've grown in the last several years!

The beer? As many stars as I can give. The service? It's…read moregreat, always making suggestions. The venue? It's good and can be better. But you're coming for the beer, and the beer is really great. Limitless has gone from a location in a light office park to its own standalone building, complete with patio and plenty of space. There are generally half a dozen or more of their own craft brews on tap ranging from IPA through porter/stout. You may have even had some of their flagship beers elsewhere, such as JoCo Juice, a hazy IPA or Rolling in the Deep, a double New England IPA. I myself go for malt over hop, so I find their Marzen to be one of my favorite beers. If they have their Mexican lager on tap, then I also suggest sampling that as well. A flight of four runs you $14-ish and is a great value, as the sample sizes give you plenty of opportunity to really get a feel for their offerings. If you find something you really like, then you can take four-packs home to go in cans. Limitless is open almost every day, at least until 7:00 and when the weather is nice, the patio was a must do. There are frequently people playing a board game or just enjoying the space, and while I don't want this to be just another noisy space, they could do with maybe a TV or two more. But that is just me being picky and since they are in the neighborhood, I like visiting whenever I can.

Definitely the kind of service that makes you want to come back. Patio is great too--heat lamps when it's cold, big garage doors when it's nice. Nachos Pretty solid. Chips are thick, crispy, and taste homemade. The chipotle sauce sneaks up on you--it's chill at first but then hits with some real heat, so maybe get it on the side unless you're into that. Chicken was good too--grilled nice and not dry. Lucent Galaxies Super easy IPA. Light, smooth, not too bitter. At 4.8%, it's an easy one to keep drinking without it feeling heavy. Tales of Banshee Smoked Irish red, 5.6%. Kinda different--in a good way. Drinks almost like a pale ale but with a little smoky thing going on.

The space is friendly with its seating and there are plenty of games to keep you engaged while you enjoy your brew. The music theme lines the decor, with cassettes (remember those?) from all genres featured. Friction always has some of their own makings on tap as well as guest taps that can range from regional to national. The board will list the ABV for each beer, as well as the pour prices, and you can choose from anything between lighter ales to heavier stouts. I prefer the darker stuff and really love their 'Train in Vain', a brown ale with fabulous body. Don't miss their fresh-hopped varietals, such as the recent 'Earth & Sky', which gives you that right-off-the-trellis hoppiness. If you're not sure what you want, then the makers will always give you friendly suggestions. They're proud of their offerings and that pride comes through in the beer. Making unique craft beer is always a labor of love and Friction really shows you how they get it done.

They have some pretty interesting beers on tap - we tried one with gin and a bunch of strange botanicals and while we probably wouldn't order it again we do appreciate the artistry and intrigue of something we've never conceived of tasting before! They truly do live up to their experimental Lab name! The sweet and salty pretzel bites were outta this world! Crisp and hot but soft and fluffy on the inside, I'd crush a plate of these again in a second. The fries were also tasty - overall a great spot to wind down from a farmer's market run!

All good things…read more.. We were invited to an impromptu event to taste the new additions to for the Menu when they reopen. They also were 'blowing the taps' which meant we get to try many of the beers that they were saying good-bye to. So, a little story. I was one of the first to wander into a place called Brew Lab years ago. I actually found the place because of looking for brewing supplies. There were a good amount of tools here but also these folks were serving their beer! So, what a great idea. I bought some grain... and had a few beers! I visited this place a few more times on the regular. Suddenly one day there was appetizers. And had the most divine pretzel bites that have ever existed. Next time was an amazing club sandwiches. And some pulled pork. All of the food has always been great bar food. And then there was the beer. So many delicious beers each time. Too many to try at once. But, that is all memory lane... Now... here is the news! Brew Lab is changing. The ownership remains the same however they have given up the brewing. They will have a few of their specialty beers that they keep on tap but they will have a lot more taps of beer from other breweries. On this visit they brought out a large amount of samples of the food that they will be adding/altering in the menu going forward. There were a lot of really delicious items and I am excited for when they have the full menu and I can order some of them. Most notably I am excited for the Catfish Po'boy sandwich. We will be back soon to try the all new... Tall Boys. Look for that review coming soonish!

Home away from home…read more You know how everyone always looks for the Cheers bar? The one where everybody knows your name? Yeah this is that bar! The beer is fantastic. One of the few locations that doesn't concentrate all energies on IPAs. They really like to do broad styles of beers and have some of the best Stouts, Porters, and Brown Ales in town! This place is also constantly having events. You can enjoy the main bar area with the giant group table in the center. Individual private tables along the walls. Great window seating for NOT WINTER. They also have the enclosed alley space, which is often used for private events or open for more comfy seating. Larger parties and events happen in the back parking lot! Look for Transport online at your favourite social media platform!
