    Some of the apparel available for purchase

    We came for their brunch and the dogs jumping in the pool because we have dogs and love to meet new friends. We arrived late and most of the brunch menu was sold out. So we decided to wait for the lunch menu to come out. The corn nuggets were good along with the pretzel bites. Everything else was just bad. My mother in law ordered a panini and ate half the threw the rest away. I ordered a flatbread that had pulled pork, apple butter a mix of cheeses with tomato and onion top. It sounds delicious, but was not good at all. I was happy to actually get to try their IPA on this visit. To be honest the beer and the people behind the bar are awesome just like the dogs outside. As for the food, plan on eating before or after you come here. There is absolutely no reason to order food here.

    Farm with beer. Beer was good and so was the farm atmosphere. It was a busy event filled Saturday so i imagine it's even better when not packed. Any time I'm in that random area I'm stopping by!

    Outdoor dining closed up with heaters and so cozy

    A great way to spend a Saturday night! Thirsty Farmer is definitely a family favorite. A perfect family atmosphere. The food never disappoints and the beer and cider are even better. Our kids love coming here and playing games. The food was quick and the service getting beer and cider was wonderful. If you are in Gettysburg this is a must try place!

    Besides going down a side road that looks like a scene out of the Blair Witch project at night, this place was great! I'm a dark beer girl and they only offered a chocolate porter, but boy did they nail that chocolate porter. It tasted delicious. They had live music and the place was pretty busy. They sell merchandise and also sell food. The workers were friendly and helpful. Check this place out! Oh! They also offer an Adams County beer passport. So grab a passport, get stamped, and head to the next brewery! Chocolate porter was a win :)

    Great location to enjoy an afternoon outdoors! We enjoyed the beer, cider, and bites! Only thing preventing 5-stars is that they got busy & fell behind...need a couple more hands in the kitchen & pouring! Oh & they are pet friendly!

    Apple Graff: cider and beer!

    I came here on a Friday afternoon in the summer (hey, teacher life) and it wasn't crowded at all, but I can see about some people's complaints about the noise level. They need to get some sort of something in there to better the acoustics. But other than that, I really enjoyed my trip here. We got the mozzarella sticks and they were awesome (I don't like that they give you 5 because if you're in a party of 2, 3, or even 4, that leaves you arguing over who is going to get an extra, especially in my group lol) I'd like to come back and try some of their sandwiches. Beer was good. They let you sample before you commit to a pint, but I'm almost positive they don't do flights, which is a shame.

    Stopped in for the Hazelnut Brown Ale. Definitely a unique venue with outdoor seating, and it's across the street from a nice farmers market. If you're anywhere close, worth the trip!

    New England IPA  an Indian pale ale  Both made in house.

    Awesome hospitality and friendly staff. Tasty brewed beverages and good finger food. Would definitely come again and recommend.

    It was very busy. I expected faster service, and the pickup was a little confusing, but I was served what I ordered.

The staff here definitely play on theme with the big truck, the bathrooms are immaculately clean here, and they have wrenches as door openers, tp holders. The area is on top of a hill so the views are phenomenal. The beer selection was good - I don't drink beer anymore but I tried their seltzers and liked them. You can also get a flight and get 32 ounce cans to do. They have a rotating option of food trucks, and on the day we wen't they had a Jamaican truck. My friends got some food and I think they liked it. I opted to get a pizza by the brewery and really liked it, I was surprised how good it was. They no longer offer archery - my friends told me they did this once. They have board games and giant Jenga. I will say they don't have ANY NA beers or options other than water and sodas, just FYI. A fun outing if you like breweries.

Ordered a flight and a mixed drink.  They have beer offering, wine and spirits.  What caught my eye was their flight of Scotch 4 1/2 oz pours for only $14.  WINNING!!!! The Beer: Bunches honey granola cream Ale 5.5% ABV... smooth and crushable! Belgian Dubbel w/ cherry plum & raisins 7.1% ABV... I wasn't expecting the high amount of acidity for this Belgian dubbel. It was a burst of flavor which punched me right in the taste buds.  In a good way. Coattails Double IPA 7.9% ABV...  well balanced IPA, a little citrus, a little hops, slightly sweet and nothing overwhelming. FIRE! French Toast Nightman barrel aged Imperial Stout 10% ABV... dark chocolate and coconut is all I got.  It was semi sweet and tasted a little of extract. Aged 14 months, respectfully throw that back in the barrel and pull it out in a few years. Or bottle it and forget about it for a long while. Dark Passenger cherry vanilla Porter 7.6%  ABV... this one kicked before I could try it.  Maybe next time. The service was fantastic.  The beer was great.  And, I felt totally comfortable in this atmosphere.  Like that t-shirt that is super comfortable, but you can't throw away because it is so very comfortable.  Or your favorite reclining chair.  Suffice to say, I wish I could pack Homaide Brewing in my carry on and take is with me on my flight back to to Florida.

    Small brewery's are common in Appalachia. Some have even turned into larger operations, over the…read moreyears. Names like Appalachian Beer Company and Lancaster Brewery come to mind. These places some excellent beer. But they also are restaurants. So, maybe beer is a draw in or the food at times. So with that, Drunk Monkey is a pure brewery. They make, sell, distribute, and promote their own product. As far as promoting, I am not sure they need to do much work as the product has really gotten some attention at the street level. I have seen the main beer showing up at local restaurants the last year. There has also been solid word of mouth. Some of their beers are even winning awards. So it didn't take much convincing from a coworker to get me there before our Nittany Lions came on. The brewery, itself, is a tiny place tucked into an old industrial park that use to be home to one of the largest textile mills in the country. Long abandoned, different smaller businesses now call the park home. One of the more sustained businesses is Fisher's bee farm. That brings us to the brewery. The owner of the bee farm decided to start a brewery near his business. Once finding the brewery, you notice that it is a whole in the wall kinda place. But once entering, the place is organized, clean, and the folks are extremely warm and friendly. Everything is clearly marked. Beer prices are payed out in a sheet on the wall. There is a merchandise rack clearly marked. There are cases clearly marked for type. You can tell this is a place where the people love and care about their beer. The lady manning the shop was knowledgable and friendly. She gave us a preview of the beers and described each one as we taste tested the taps. She then offered us a tour of the small brewery which we jumped on. This definitely plussed the experience and ultimately earned that fifth star. We learned that this particular young lady also hand labels, preps, and fills the bottles. So she does more than just look pretty selling the beer. Now for the beer. I really can't remember all the particular names of the beer. But I had a few favorites. In particular, the German wheat beer was fantastic. That is what I got my growler filled with. Some of the other beers that tasted great, Kraken and one named Mistress or something to that effect. Fittingly, the mistress had a tap handle in the shape of a ship figure head. Speaking of which, all the beers have nautical names based on the folklore of Captain Jack which many local landmarks are named. I have nothing negative to say about Drunk Monkey. They are in an obscure location. The place is small and doesn't look like much from the outside. But like most really great businesses, it is about the knowledge of the people behind the business. Drunk Monkey has plenty of that! If you are in the area on a Wednesday or Saturday, stop in for a taste.
