“I don’t understand the negative reviews here. Everyone at the store I dealt with was courteous and helpful. The selection is world class and ALL beers were available as singles. Two thumbs up.“

“This place has a great beer list and very good food. The Friday evening we visited was very busy. We productively waited for a table at the bar, where we sampled four beers and then had four more with dinner. The bottle list was extensive and fairly priced. The library motif created a pretty oozy feel. Highly recommend.“

“A nice new meadery/cidery in downtown Valpo. The floorplan is smaller but open, and nice and clean with plenty of light. No food, but the selection is solid, and the service is outstanding. Value is good too ($10 for a 2 oz flight of 4). Definitely worth a stop if you’re in town.“

“New addition to the NWI scene, a real showstopper as mead invades the area. The atmosphere is a bit sterile, its clean, and nice, but there needs to be a bit more character which should come with time. Service was quick, friendly and offered great suggestions. Nice selection of a cider, a low abv mead, then some heavier hitters. The gooseberry foole was amazing. The carbonated meads is probably where the sweet spot will be for this new place. Excited for some of the bottle releases I was told about. I had to join the club now before this gets hyped as Schramm and impossible to get. Its nice the meads come in a flight so you can try multiple things without getting to drunk. This is a must stop when coming through the area.“

“The staff is extremely friendly and takes the time to visit with the customers and explain the different meads. The meads are amazing and I find myself wanting to go there night after night. The selection They have done a great job incorporating the elements of meads into the decoration and I anticipate the ambiance will improve even more as they get beyond their opening weeks. Overall, I strongly recommend making the journey to visit Misbeehavin’ Meads to enjoy some of the best meads available.“

“I didn’t expect much in downtown Valpo, but this place exceeded my expectations on all fronts. The space is weird, basically an office building. But they way its laid out and design make it really unique. Interesting food choices, and they are all great. Tuna and calamari in Indiana, and they rocked it. A chicken and waffle sandwich with the waffles as bread, was knock out. Local and rare beer list add to the allure. I’ll be back.“

“Small tasting room at the end of a strip mall. Can get a flight, pints, growler fills, and an occasional bottled beer. They do make popcorn with bacon grease that kicks ass. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.“

“Easy to miss, this is a converted house and the brewing is done in the garage. Small seating for 23 people, Food was brought in from a BBQ place a few miles away (I did not try any however). Friendly service but really needs to work on take out program... it is not the customer responsibility to clean used growlers nor should they get a hard time when returning one that is not cleaned. Space constraints is not an issue... either service them or don’t do them.“

“It is basically the old Figure 8 place with minimal snack selection. Just like the brewery before it, order at the door.“

“Sort of dark and old little store that has an okay beer selection (that is also a bit unorganized) . Some beers are quite old but I did find something new and interesting in one of the small coolers. Now if looking for whiskey, bourbon, etc... this would be your place.“

“Like having a beer at a friend’s house because it is a converted house and the serving room is the front living room area. Small but comfortable - capacity has been expanded (to 24 people). Pleasant enough place.“

“Ironwood is the epitome of microbrewery. Nothing more than a living room of a small ranch-style house, the bar area has a max capacity of 15 occupants. Needless to say, this brewpub has initmacy going for it. In the few times that I’ve been there, the place is also full tipping off the relative quality of beer as well as the enjoyable environs. The brews themselves are above average with some solid offerings including a nice Saison. While not necessarily earth-shattering, they do their microbrew craft well. The owner are very friendly and always around to talk beer. The prices are good with $4-$5 pints and affordable growlers available. The biggest hang up I had about Ironwood were the funky hours. Open Wednesdaz through Saturday, they officially close their doors at 9pm. Fortunately, they seem to be flexible having spent most of my evenings there up to the 10 o’clock hour. While I wouldn’t really travel out of my way to visit Ironwood, it is definitely a perfect local source for excellent craft beer.“

“The store is dark and crowded, but the selection is among the best locally available. Prices about what you would expect, maybe a little on the high side. Good selection of cold craft beers. I’ll keep supporting.“

“The guy who works the cash register the majority of the time is a real jerk. But it has the best selection of beer, wine, and liquor in town. If you are looking for something other than your usual, this is the place to go. The deals on hard liquor are generally pretty good too.“

“A friendly store with probably the best selection of craft and imported beers available locally in Valparaiso. The prices are in line with similar stores in the area, not as cheap as the supermarkets but the selection is better. The ladies behind the counter may not know beer, but several of the men stocking the shelves and coolers are quite familiar with the offerings of the regional brewers.“
