A nice place in the sprawling metropolis of McCall. Had 7 beers on tap. They all had a sort of odd earthy flavor, but otherwise pretty decent. Good service. Reasonable pub grub. Lots of good tvs though to watch the game.

This place was pretty quiet when we were there. In short the beers were only average ,the food was only average, and the service was kind of slow. There is another new brewpub place in town called Salmon River that will put these folks out of business if they don’’t improve things a bit.

We drove through McCall on a marathon road trip (437 mile loop) to Hells Canyon from Boise. Didn’t know this place existed until we drove by at dinner time looking for a place to eat. Serendipity. Nice decor, friendly service. Beers were tasty, though I didn’t try a lot since I was driving and had two hours left in the trip - including that windy road down Payette Creek gorge. Anyway, everyone but me got the roast beer sandwich, and it was really nice. I decided on fish and chips and it was terrible. Just sopped in grease and the fish was subpar. Complained but no restitution was offered. Other than that, it was fine.

Right on the main drag in McCall, but it sits at a 90* angle and can be easy to miss if you’re headed north. Rustic interior in it’s true form. Very old school and doesn’t have the overdone attempt to make it rustic. The server was friendly and knew enough about the brews; he even stopped to chat after I finished the sampler to ask about my favorite. Food was good, but a bit pricey. A $10 burger is typical in a resort town. Overall it was a fun place to stop and I’ll make it a point to stop in next time I’m headed through town.

Made the trip 2 hours specifically to take my family here and get in several Local ratings. While the rustic but clean log-cabin typ decor was very nice and also comfortable. The "Help Wanted" sign out front should have warned me. We were seated right away, but after 22 min I had to go back up front and the same guy asked me "table for one?" When I explained no, we were still six and we havent had out order taken yet, he looked at me like he dodn’t know what my problem was. The food was good, but spendy for the portion size/ Thi sI expected however. The beers were al good I though, though their "lighter" lineup were all very similar. I wasn’t sure even if the server told me the wrong ones were which in the sampler. Made for a bit of a challenge. All were tasty, especially possibly the best Porter I have ever had. Unless that was the Brown Ale.

This place exceeded my expectations. It has a classic mountain feel with a largely pine interior with decos that fit mountain recreational sports. The brewing area is basically right next to the bar and has large windows so you can see what is going on in there. They had 8 beers on tap and were brewing a seasonal when I was there. The food was quite impressive. I reccomend the KO’d Burger! The beer is pretty good as well. Nothing bad, even their Mountain Light was better than most light beers. The sampler tray comes out on a mini surf board and is $8 for 8 four oz. samplers. It id definitely worth taking a detour off your trip to go here if you are in south western or central western Idaho.

Was there a long time ago when it first opened and it was pearched on the lake and it was a great place. The beer was awesome from what I remember. Stop by during winter fest and it is a blast. The lake at all times should not be missed.

Small brewpub right on the main drag of McCall, tucked into a small shopping village type thing so it’s easy to miss but the sign is very visable. Inside is all wooden interior, brewing equipment is easily viewable and there are games in the back. Very comfortable place, I was very relaxed while rating. Good food choices and nice selection of beers with light to strong, ales & lagers, seasonals, etc. Very friendly (and attractive) service. Most of their beers are good, some are a bit off but worth a visit if you’re here. The food is good, varied menu, reasonable prices.
