    Welcome to brewery #278 for me. I was very pleased with the vibe at Tangled Roots. Very nice place!…read more I sat at the bar and ordered a flight. Great service although they were a little busy. Los Pollos Hermanos Mexican lager was a good Mexican lager. Very easy to drink. Kit Kupfer amber ale had a little fruity flavor I couldn't quite place but when I looked at the beer menu it described it as "hint of peach". Yeah, I think that's it. A very light amber ale. Very nice beer! SWPFTD would enjoy this one. Midnight Mirage black IPA...ok, this was interesting. And I don't mean that in a snide way at all. It's a black IPA with a whole host of fruit flavors. Grapefruit was definitely there on the back of the tongue on the finish, as well as apricot but that was more on the nose. Not a heavily bitter IPA at all. This might be my favorite so far. Decadent Orange Dobroy Nochi imperial stout had a really good orange flavor to it. I still think the back IPA is my favorite though. I wasn't really hungry but perused the menu and ordered a starter of the fresh artisanal bread with an awesome honey butter. There was another butter with it but I forgot what it was while under the thrall of the honey butter. I ate ALL of that myself. I truly enjoyed TRB. The beers were great, the bread was excellent, and the service was good as well. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

    Such a shame to see this closed. We had a good time here enjoying a couple flights of beer and some…read morefood. Cheers!

    OMG - GOOD BARBEQUE!…read more We were hunting for a place for lunch in Dixon, and my wife suggested this place. Good suggestion. I ordered their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, with the optional more expensive Truffle Fries. Let me start with the sandwich - oh, was it soooo good. Hot, tender, and the BBQ sauce was outstanding! The Truffle Fries were nothing to trifle about (excuse the pun). They were well-seasoned, tasted great, and were nice, hot and fresh. My wife had their Texas Cheesesteak Sandwich, again with the Truffle Fries. She really enjoyed her sandwich - she said it was very tasty. We went with non-alcoholic drinks since I had to go back to work. The Root Beer was good, and she really liked here iced tea. While we were there, I grabbed a piece of their cheesecake, which wasn't as good as their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, but hit the spot. Service was attentive and helpful. I liked the decor in the place - just enough to catch your eyes, not enough to get lost in the background. Two large screen TVs over the bar show different events (in this case, golf and something else) and the bar back looked clean. The rest rooms (at least the men's room) was very clean, smelled clean, and worked properly. This can be a problem in bars, they clearly have the right standards.

    We came here on recommendation of some friends, and the Yelp! Reviews were pretty good. We ordered…read morefrom the cinco de mayo specials they had for this week. The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average. I guess technically it's mostly a bar, in which case it's probably better than most. The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.

    Checked out this craft brewery in Byron. Hairy Cow is the most interesting thing in this town other…read morethan the polluting nuclear power plant. It gets crowded because people around here know good beer it seems. Along with the beers is also a food menu. The prices are higher than the grubby bars in town, but for sure it matches the higher quality. Better get prepared for how hard it is to park here. It's got a parking lot but it's full often. This was crazy the last time we came here on a weekend. People around here know it's better beer than the crap they otherwise have. You may have to park on a street. Beers are pricier than average but they make smaller batches. It's about $8 a pint. Best of the ones we had was the Highland Hairy. This is a Belgian IPA. A pretty good amount of food. There's a ton of pizzas. Most food choices are meaty. There's also wings. A lot of big and messy items. It's about $7 for the Garden Salad. A pretty standard one with croutons. There's also salads covered in bacon, buffalo chicken, and other heavy stuff. Got to be one of the places to go if you're around here. It's really busy at times, and just park wherever if you can't get a spot. They're located on the east side of town, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

There were 4 of us in our party looking for some drinks and pizzas for supper. We knew it would be a wait for a table but there were a couple seats at the bar. Drinks were ordered and three bartenders made sure we got our drinks quickly and accurately. We figured it would be awhile before a table was ready so we ordered some Cheese curds. They got to us in record time and were crazy delicious. Note to self I would come again just for drinks and cheese curds. Our table was ready far quicker than we expected. More drinks and pizzas were ordered. A favorite was the gyros and the sausage pizza. We were not a fan of the goat cheese pizza. It's a flavor that isn't for everyone. Enjoyed our table by the fireplace. Left with a souvenir beer glass. Love their logo. We will be back when we are in the area again. Give this place a try for sure.

Ogle County Brewery is one of the few places around here to get beers that's not "something Light" or comes in a can filled who knows when. Also a place to get some small bites that's not typical bar food. They have kind of a small selection but there's variety. Bigger than it looks once one gets inside. It's a great use of an old building, and they share it with one of those hardcore gyms with the CrossFit and stuff. The bar is where we got seats, and we got to watch some games on the big TV. Good prices on the craft beers. It's about $6 a pint. Best of these we had was the Oktoberfest. This was malty and sweet, and had a creamy texture. Also there's food. It's about $12 for an appetizer, which is most of what's on the food menu. Had to try the Guacamole Bites. These are avocado, cilantro, lime, onions, and tomatoes in tortilla chips breading, good stuff. Even though the beer selection is kind of limited, there's several styles to choose from. It's got a kitchen along with a menu of appetizers, sandwiches, and more. They're open every weekday along with more hours on weekends.
