    Looking for something to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, my girlfriend and I decided to stop in for…read morea few beers. It was our first time here. Decent sized parking lot, and a nice little tasting room inside. Nice decor and variety of seating, including authentic German beer garden tables and benches. It was pretty dead when we visited, just six people at the bar who all appeared to be locals. The bartender was quick with service but didn't engage with us further. $7 pints and $9 flights of four 4 oz beers. There were 9 beers on tap and one seltzer when we were there. We each had a flight so we got to sample most of what was on the menu. Unfortunately we didn't really like most of what we had. The Mexicali Brews (a mojito Pilsner) was definitely interesting in that I've never seen a beer like it before. It was the best of my flight. The Galway Girl (Irish red ale) seemed too watered down, the Stalk n' Hops (cream ale) was just ok, and the Gravity Storm (DIPA at 9.45%) was, I hate to say, atrocious. The Double IPA is by far my favorite style of beer, and this was too watery and had a bitter aftertaste without any of the smooth, nuanced hop flavor I've come to expect from other DIPA's. Most breweries will offer a brief description of their beers, including intended flavor profiles, hops used, etc, but there was none of that here so it was hard to tell what they were going for and what went wrong. If you're local, I'm sure this is a nice place to hang out with some friends and beers. They do a lot of fun events including food trucks and live music. But this is definitely not a place to go out of your way to visit, as you can find much better beer elsewhere.

    Good Beers and Great people. I try to get over there as much as possible. Always good music playing…read moreand good atmosphere to hangout with the friendly people who own the place.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my girlfriend and the place was absolutely mobbed. Packed to the rafters. Somehow we got two seats at the bar and were immediately greeted by one of the bartenders who asked us if it was our first time there and thanked us for coming in. I thought this was great customer service - despite how hectic it was behind the bar, he still made the effort to have a positive interaction with us before taking our order. 20 beers and five seltzers on tap! Two beers on nitro and one side pull lager. What an offering! We went with two flights. I got the Champagne Sournova, the Hawaiian Noises, the Chocolate Strawberry Swampdog, and the Straight Outta Belgium. I'm someone that always appreciates variety in a beer list. As much as I like IPA's, it's no fun going to a place where they make up 3/4 of the menu. So the variety at Neck of the Woods is quite impressive. But all that variety is worth nothing if the beer isn't good. I'm happy to say the beers I had were perfect. Big and bold and and truly worth savoring every drop. On a random note, this brewery also had the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at any bar/restaurant/brewery I've ever been to. We live a half hour away but will definitely be back and recommend to other beer lovers!

    I always love going here. There's always something new to try and of course they have Stay in the…read morecar Frank! IPA I have a good time every time I come in.

The location is perfect - right on Main Street in the historic downtown area. There's a pleasant vibe in the tasting room with a variety of seating including a few leather couches. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They offer events like monthly trivia and monthly karaoke. But the beer. Sigh... I just can't get into it. Now, I'm no professional beer critic. I wouldn't say I have a discerning palate capable of detecting subtle notes of hop varietals. And taste in beer is of course subjective. So take this with a grain of salt. But I have definitely had a lot of beer in my life, and I just didn't enjoy the beer here. When I came here in July of 2022 for the first time in awhile, I had a flight and didn't enjoy what I had, but I wanted to give them another chance. But when I came back over a month later in August, they hadn't introduced a single new beer in that time. The menu only had six beers and two seltzers on tap. Of the beers I tried, the Troubadour (porter), Winter Witch (golden stout) and the Healthy, Wealthy and Weizen all lacked enough flavor and just seemed too watery to me. The Piney Punch (radler) was on the opposite end of the spectrum with loads of pineapple flavor. This was the one decent beer of the bunch, if pineapple beer is your thing. The last beer I tried was the Jabberhoppy, an Imperial IPA with 100 IBU meant to "showcase a balance at the upper limits of bitterness. This is a double IPA that packs together six of our favorite hops..." Where do I begin to describe this one? It was certainly interesting and unique, but not in a good way. Too bitter, not enough flavor, maybe just too many different hops for its own good. It just didn't taste like a normal double IPA. And this is certainly nitpicky, but the beer didn't seem cold enough when it was served. So overall, if you want a nice spot to hang with friends, maybe do some karaoke, this place is perfect. But if you're after excellent beer with more complexity, you might need to try elsewhere.
