We'd tried so many spots around here and kept getting let down. This hidden gem was recommended by…read morea longtime local at a dive bar we sometimes drop into. It took us a while to actually go -- my husband was skeptical, insisting "locals don't know good pizza" -- so I pulled up some reviews and photos online to talk him into it. So glad I did! The pizza was excellent: wood-fired, chewy crust, loaded with toppings, and a great sauce. Everything you want in a pie. The beer was just as good. This is officially our go-to pizza spot now. A few things to know before you go: it's only open select hours, so check ahead. It's dog-friendly (they've even got their own resident pups on the property), and it's just 12 minutes from Frozen Head State Park -- perfect for a post-hike meal. Oh, and the view is great too. So stoked to have this in my neighborhood!

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the selection is excellent. One of my favorite things about Crafter's Brew is the live music. They consistently bring in talented musicians who create the perfect backdrop for a great evening with friends. Whether you're there to enjoy a drink, catch some live entertainment, or simply unwind after a long day, the experience is always top-notch. The owners and staff have done a fantastic job creating a place where people can gather, connect, and make memories. Great drinks, great music, great people--what more could you ask for? Highly recommend Crafter's Brew to anyone looking for a fun and welcoming local spot!

It was fairly busy when I visited, and there was a line to get beer, which isn't a problem. I happen to see a friend of mine waiting in line to get a beer. I walked over to speak with him. We hadn't seen each other in probably five or six years. Another guy cut in line right in front of him before he could get his beer. Then, when it was my friends turn, the bartender (Josh) was less than friendly. I realize that they're just pouring beer, but the gentleman was decidedly unfriendly, he did not smile even once; he did not even indicate that he was ready to take an order in anyway by acknowledging us with a look or anything. Heck, he didn't even speak to us. Honestly, he was just rude & beyond unfriendly. I don't get it. If you do not like your job, get a new one. If you don't like pouring beer for people (which does seem like a super great job), get a different job. The fact that he would be there on what appeared to be a fairly busy night, which is good for the business, and be so unpleasant is beyond my comprehension. So, the beer selection is very eclectic, with something for everyone. It's super great that you can buy beer to go. The female bartender was awesome. I'm conflicted on what sort of review that I should give Admiral pub, because there were so many positive aspects to it, except Josh pretty much ruined the entire experience by his sour demeanor (although I adore sour beers) and persistent scowl.

I saw some flights going out as well. I loved my Spicy Pineapple Sour! It was dangerously good, I was even out pacing my hubby LOL. He liked his IPA. They even had a cool area with a fun mocktail menu if you want to enjoy sipping with out tippin' over at the end. Overall I'm into it and plan to go back. They had an event board that looked interesting! Bingo anyone??

I counted 23 taps of beer at the bar, virtually every style is covered, an impressive number and the three we tried were excellent. I had the West Coast IPA and my wife had the Oktoberfest and the Black Rice Lager. The service was excellent. Instead of going for the pizza, which they have a lot of, we went with the Pretzel and beer cheese which my wife liked better than I did. The real star was the Muffuletta sandwich which hands down was the best version of this sandwich I've ever had. The Olive spread had diced jalapeño in it so pretty spicy and oh so good. So between the many taps and that sandwich, CBB West gets a five star.
