This is a pretty good place in the middle of a slightly under utilized shopping park. It is one of those areas that never got quite as developed as the developers had hoped. Its selection is quite good, and the atmosphere is not overly constrictive during the week. I just wish the staff knew more about their products beside the brew’s name.

Kind of hidden in a largely deserted shopping mall IBG can be hard to find. The atmosphere is kind of sterile for my taste and the draft selection while fairly large consisted of a lot of the more commercial craft brews ie Widmer, Red Hook etc, with a few empty taps. It’ not a bad place to get a beer, but it is kind of far from everywhere and unfortunately not worth the effort in my opinion.

Went here on a Friday night. The place was packed and had a guy playing covers on acoustic guitar. Atmosphere was not bad but the high ceilings seem to amplify the crowd noise. Good selection of bottles but we also found as has been mentioned in other reviews that several taps were dry and some of the listed beers were unavailable. What we had was enjoyable and I would definitely go back.

Huge selection of beer in tap & bottles, but I thought the atmosphere was a just a little "blah". One night they had a live band playing way too loud in a space that was way to small for it.

Need more servers or bartenders. Went in tonight and waited for ever. Too many games on the bar...limits seating. great beers but 1/2 are "coming soon"...what about now. Love the pizza...needs to be availible late night till close!

I’m always shocked by how quickly IBG changes their beer selection. Always out of multiple tap handles and you can never go there exptecting the same beers. With 30+ tap they should at least have a regular tap schedule for 2-3 months so you know what you are expecting. I went the other day looking for my favorite and it was gone a week after it had been put on tap. ? The pizza is delicious and so is the cheese plate but they are always understaffed. They question mark on the door regarding their closing time is also ridiculous...? Like the place but need some consistency.

The place is a bit cold maybe due to the lake of customers when I was there draft a average priced but bottle a bite expensive. Food is simple but good.

Went with Steve for a couple of beers. Good selection decent pricing. Reminds me of a larger and less crowded version of WOB. Whats nice is that they give a discount to you when you take out.

This bar looks awesome! Hats off to Bethany the beer buyer and manager? She really tries to go all out with her selection. Dude, Jolly Pumpkin and Signature ale in the cooler at all times… my dreams. In any case, I have not gotten to spend as much time as I would like to have in this bar. I am due for a raging night of sour beers and a $75 taxi ride home. Ok, there is no way I’m spending $75 on a taxi ride. I’d rather spend that on more beer. My wife is going to have to pony up and drive my lush-self home.

Visited this new and welcome establishment to the greater Lutz/Land O Lakes area on opening night and then again within the last two weeks. On opening night this place was packed, which was a little surprising (but excting) given that the formal opening was not highly advertised. Even on opening night the servers were very attentive, and while many did not know beer, they were willing to learn. Visited again recently on a Friday afternoon at opening and found the bartender better educated on beer. The tap lists contain many usual suspects, but they are bringing in some harder to find beers as well. Nice bottle selection which supposedly will include harder to find items like Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast and the entire Rochefort line. When I asked the bartender about several of the rarer bottles, they were not on hand, but he indicated that the owner claims that everything listed on the bottle list will be available sometime in the near future. So, when in the area, check them out.
