The owner is also incredibly knowledgeable, and I always enjoy talking beer and wine with him. The layout of the store is also great, with all the regions together and labeled. The selection is also one of the best I have ever seen, and I don't think I will ever run out of beers to try.

The Donuts vs Mermaids was absolutely amazing! They had 20 on tap. Tapped Wine (4/5): I tried a red organic wine (1/5) and a rose (5/5). They had 12 on tap. Beer & Wine to-go options (5/5): They had so many different types of wine, beer, seltzers, and mead to choose from! You can buy single cans, but they are more per than just buying the pack. Process (5/5): This place is pretty neat! You start a tab, you get a card, and you insert the card into slots in order to pour your own beer or wine. You can control how much you want since you only get charged on how much you pour! I love this idea! Seating (4/5): The outside seating was limited. 1 room that was outside and LOUD, 1 room that was connected to the outside room and the inner room surrounded by windows, and then the main inner room with tables and was opened to the beer & wine mart side. Definitely a nice place to check out when you want a bit of everything.

They always have great beer on tap from some of the top breweries in the world, and their brewer makes some top notch stuff as well (especially sours). It's pretty big and has the cleanest bathrooms I've seen at a brewery. I've never had any of their deli type menu but it looks solid. Only con is that I spend too much between here and the inevitable trip to Mellow Mushroom after.

Something sweet, and not bitter. I was trying to explain myself, hoping the guy could help, but he acted like a total snob. I was legit needing help and asking for recommendations. His attitude towards me and my husband made me just say ok, what would you recommend? I wanted sweet with no bitter. He of course sold me two that were supposed to be "delicious". Tried both and they were the most sour/bitter tasting wines I've ever had in In my life. So, the two stars was for his snobby attitude, and also basically wanting me to hurry out of his store.

I liked that I could add some fruit flavoring to the sour. My husband enjoyed the hefe. We were there on a Sunday so had their brunch offerings. Burrito was delicious, big portion, good ingredients. Large side portion of breakfast potatoes. The French toast sammich was great. Had leftovers to take home bc it's just such a big sammich. Again came with a good portion of potatoes. My son had a cheeseburger and oranges. He loved it. We enjoyed that we could bring our son along and they have board games and toys to help entertain him. They also offer a crowler (32oz can) version of beer of your choice. So we grabbed one of each of our beers to go. Really enjoyed being able to have some to go. Really enjoyed our brunch at this place and look forward to going back.

There was ample seating outside the checkout area; about half the seats and tables were under a covered, very large screened porch, the other half is out in the sun with large umbrellas to provide shade. The vineyard itself is small but the view is pretty and the wine we had was very good. The staff were all helpful and friendly. They have one bathroom available to customers but it was very clean, well-stocked with supplies, and the water was hot with good pressure (which is important for hand cleanliness). This trip was a 5 hour drive from where we live, so if we come back again, it would be for another family reunion. But, if you're local or a short drive away, it's definitely worth checking it out.

The outside is an unassuming brick building, kinda in the middle of nowhere. The inside is quaint, like a small Cracker Barrel with nostalgic knick-knacks around the walls. Server was absolutely amazing and the people are very friendly. But, the star of the show is the food that the back of the house prepares. Pizza was great, wood fired and perfectly crispy. Airline chicken caprese was a special and had roasted chicken, parmesan pepper grits, mozzarella with sun-dried tomatoes and sweet potato and kale stir fry. Crispy skin on the chicken, moist on the inside. Grits were peppery and creamy. Cheese was fresh and cold with the tangy tomatoes and then add the sweetness of the sweet potato....hits all the parts of a palate. The kitchen is locked in, firing on all cylinders and doing it right! Creative, fresh and perfectly executed. Please do yourself a favor and try this place. We will continue to return!

But that was that - the waiter remained firm. So my plate came looking a little bare ( white fish fillet with slaw on top). I had not had that happen before. It annoyed me!

Please do not patronize Creek Bottom Brewing…read more It is not a safe place for women or children. Creek Bottom is at the center of a local controversy involving a young man named William Ayers. In 2023, Ayers was convicted of child rape (carnal knowledge of a child) and abduction. He was released from prison last year, back into our community. Upon his release, Creek Bottom Brewing began employing him to work in the brewery--as a known convicted child sex offender. In February, while working for Creek Bottom, Ayers was arrested AGAIN for ANOTHER sexual assault, strangulation, brandishing a firearm, and abduction by force. It got a little media attention as the "Valentine's Day Rape." Recently added to his list of charges is possession of child porn and sexual abuse of an animal. Where does Creek Bottom come in, beyond offering a job to a known child sex offender? William Ayers' parents are the owners of Creek Bottom. They made the choice to employ him at their brewery, along with their many young women employees and the families who visit the restaurant. Our dollars spent at the brewery unwittingly went directly towards Ayers' paycheck. Many community members feel that Creek Bottom's owners have made horrendous decisions that endanger our community by choosing to have their son employed at the brewery, and by supporting/enabling him in other ways. It is readily apparent that Ayers' parents employ pricey high-powered out-of-town attorneys to defend their son from his charges. (Courtroom interactions between those attorneys and the father of William Ayers reinforce this, with the attorneys pulling Daddy Ayers aside for extended conferencing before making motions.) A couple of days ago, Ayers was offered bail set at $900,000. That means that if his supporters/enablers come up with a $90k bail bond agent fee, or $900k on their own, Ayers will AGAIN be released into our community. All of this is a matter of public record: past convictions, state sex offender registry that showed Ayers working at Creek Bottom until his latest arrest, ownership of Creek Bottom, recent charges, and ongoing court case with private legal defense. All members of our community can and should make their own INFORMED choices here. Sending your money in Creek Bottom's direction could literally help lead to this individual being released into our community once again. Endanger the wealth that is supporting him, and we may be able to make a real difference for community safety. Please don't unwittingly contribute to a William Ayers legal defense fund or to bailing him out to walk among us again. If you see fit, stand by us in this effort.
