A great log building, large outdoor patio, wonderful setting. Decent fish fry, wood fired pizza oven. The beers are just ok. Some times there will be a wonderful IPA, cheery or bourbon barrel stout.

Perhaps this is a nice place to grab a meal and a sampler but my visit was probably the worst trip I’ve ever had to a brewpub and I wasn’t even there long. The bartender insulted my wife several times, berated her for asking questions, got mad when we didn’t order any food and was just an asshat pretty much the entire time. Maybe he was having a bad day, but I had no need to stick around and order anything else with that attitude. Given the excellent options in the area, it will be awhile before I get back here to order my sampler of their mediocre product.

One of the few "brewpubs" in my local area, stopped in to check it out one night with some friends. Service was pretty awful, food was marginal and the beer was ok. The best part about the night was the acoustic duo they had playing. I’ll go back to support my local guys but this place has awesome potential if they trained their people a little better.

About 10 minutes south of the beltline, the place was in a rather residential area, and walking in I can only describe the atmosphere as that of an after-ski lodge somewhere in Colorado. Place was large, with an upstairs area that becomes a club/dance area on weekends. Sports on the TVs, and the standard glass walled brewing area. Lots of seats at the bar, daily specials on food and drinks. I went on a Tuesday, and they had this raffle thing where if you order a drink from the bar, you can reach in and pull out a strip of paper that tells you how much you owe. I drew the $1 beer one. Beer selection was rather pedestrian, but they give you a 9 beer sampler for only like $7, I think. Food was decent, though I only had appetizers. A little better selection than typical bar food, but they are definitely a bar first and restaurant second. Staff was friendly, though I was mad the bartender didn’t tell me it was $1 taco night. Worth a visit, but don’t go out of your way to get here.

I really want to like the place as it is the closest brew-pub to my house but the beer consistently doesn’t cut it. Tried all nine of their offerings several times and can’t find one worth asking for. Have returned quarterly since grand opening to see if any better - no such luck. The facility is awesome and could really take off if they didn’t force customers to drink their swill. The only option is Miller Lite (not an option for micro-brew enthusiasts) or highballs.

Was here on May 15th. The place looks pretty new--tile floors, two levels, fandcy looking with plenty of wood for a Bass Pro or Cabelas feel. Music wasn’t too loud. They had 9 beers on tap, eight sodas to choose from for the kids. Staff pretty much sucked on the slow Tuesday I was there, pretty much having to flag them down to get anything while I was sitting at the bar. The two staff that I did talk to didn’t really know a thing about the beer. Food was pretty decent even though they didn’t give me ketchup or silverware. The price of the food was about on par with The Olive Garden. Beer was fair for a brewpub. Might have to come again some time to see if anything’s gotten better.

Still have just the regular selection of Gray’s beers. It has a very corporate/chain restraunt feel. Lots of seating for the dining room area, but not much for the bar, which is unusual for a brewpub. Quite busy the Friday night I was there. I’m in no hurry to go back, but I’ll keep an eye out for any new beers they produce.

This must have opened in the last two weeks since last time I went by they were still doing finishing touches. There are flat panel HD televisions well placed so you won’t miss a second of a Badger game.

It looks very nice and modern on the inside - very open and bright. Their style is "American Bonfire grill" which seems to imply brick oven pizzas, burgers and Southwest fare. The food was excellent and reasonably priced.

Eight taps were available on tap. They were all standard Gray’s fare though I assume this will change once the brewer gets up and running. They will be offering one-off experimentals in addition to standard Gray’s beers. I’ll have to check back in a few weeks to see what is offered.
