The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing from the lighting, the friendly staff, to the serve yourself fresh-popped popcorn. The beers are awesome! Love the fact you can bring your own food in while you have a brew. The beer garden is cool too!

Really impressed with this place! On point beers and top notch food! The building is beautiful and unique just like the beers. They brew a huge variety of beer, so I suggest getting a flight of everything on the wall, $ 2 per brew. Try the tradition mustards too, that hot one is so spicy! So many tasty beers, it’s hard to pick a favorite.

I LOVE this place. They had me at the shuffleboard! Clean, gorgeous renovation on the building makes this an amazing place for a party, or just to hang out. The patio is beautiful and sprawling with patio heaters well into late fall. My only complaint is the lack of food, but I still visit weekly

I’m not really one for craft beers these days. They’re kinda a gamble, but this place has some very nice selections. It’s a beautiful historic building that maintains a classic, yet current feel. The cozy architecture and antique lighting create the illusion it’s a simpler time and that’s comforting. It’s a very nice place with good service and reasonable prices.

If it’s one thing south Park taught me it’s to not trust these Unilocal reviews some of these idiots are only using this for attention and are purposely giving bad reviews because of possibly one and only bad experience Now I know this establishment pretty well the staff is attentive and is always there to address any concerns. This is probably the finest drinking establishment on main street for many reasons but a few key facts are that it’s laid back, all the trash for the pound and lu and Carl’s does not make it that far down to the end of town and I have yet to hear about the police being called because of a fight or stabbing taking place(yes I am referring to the pound) and unlike any other establishment in town the staff here makes you feel as if you belong and does not ignore you like the pound or lu and Carl’s.

This place is beautiful! I’m not sure how they stay in business because it seems like it’s dead all the time but I hear you can rent out the space for parties. You can bring in your own food as long as you get a beer to drink which their beer selection is delicious. Very tasty! I hope this place stays in business because it is beautiful! Love the location and the outdoor patio! Multiple stories and so clean

This place is gorgeuos! Very ornate and they took a lot of time with the remodel. BUT, it’s nothing I would expect from a place that serves beer only, much less German lagers. The ambiance is more deserving of finer dining. They don’t serve food other than popcorn and hot pretzels. I did see a couple bring in a pizza. And they were playing Oldies. I was confused with the vibe that they were trying to go for. The staff’s appearance was more of what you would see at the Harley Store, but super friendly, knowledgeable and good service. The table felt a bit small for a flight of 10. There’s no way another person could have sat with us. I went with a Groupon and though I kept an open mind, I didn’t hear many good things prior to my visit regarding the beer. I ordered a flight of 10. Out of those 10, I enjoyed 1. The beer did not seem as cold as it should have been and some seemed to have the same finishing flavors. Beer is such a personal thing! The patio looks great for summertime, but sadly, unless they get some better brew, I don’t think I’ll be back. My overall feel is this place is classy, but needs more definition and could offer so much more for downtown Brighton.

This may be my favorite beer spot of all time! I wasn’t sure what expect going in, but I came across a deal on groupon that I couldn’t pass up. Made the drive out to brighton and was NOT disappointed. The atmosphere is just great. I was in the downstairs area where the brewroom is and the way it is set up is just perfect. Natural lighting, a single TV, and tables set up for two people. It is spaced out in a way so that you feel like you have privacy. I was here on a Friday and it did get busy, but it never felt too crowded due to the layout. As the other reviews have said, you are not going to be ordering burgers or pizza at this place. However, I really enjoyed the snack setup they had. You pay 1 dollar and get self serve, all you can eat popcorn. They keep it fresh and warm and have powdered seasoning to top it with(two cheese seasonings and a powdered butter flavor seasoning) as well as hot sauce and salt. The main attraction of course, is their unique brews. When I went they had 12 different ones to choose from and, as you can see in my picture, I tried all of them! They offer so many varied styles, that even the biggest of beer snobs in your group should find something they like and/or haven’t tried before. If you want to take beer home they have an option for that too, using one of their mini jugs to bring it home in(don’t think thats the technical name for it, but you know what I mean!) The prices here are much more fair than what I was expecting. Specialty brew houses with hipster clientele often charge insane prices but you’ll find none of that here. I was very impressed. The staff was also very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Overall, I cannot imagine the experience getting much better than this. This would be the PERFECT place to bring a date, as the intimate, distraction free atmosphere fully lends itself to bonding and making memories. This effect will be amplified as the weather gets nicer and the outdoor beer garden becomes an option. I will definitely be going here again very soon and I suggest you do the same!

Visited the brewery during an weekday afternoon, so I didn’t experience the evening atmosphere. However, the brewery wasn’t too loud or crowded so that I could enjoy my beer. The location is neat — a revamped building from the 19th century. They’ve done a lot of work to make this business appealing to customers. An additional benefit of an older building is their ability to store the beer in basement casks which keep the final products at a uniform temperature. The brewery specializes in lagers and has a relatively wide selection of styles. The day we went, they were out of one of their top sellers — the Vargdricka. Definitely try their Bean Soup beer. The name doesn’t sound appealing, but the beer itself is delicious. It would be nice if they had happy hour specials.

This place is pretty cool. It’s huge! Each level has plenty of seating and the atmosphere is pretty fun. Great place for groups. I had the Belgian Tripel and the Hefeweizen… both were pretty good!

We went on Saturday around 5 using a groupon for 10 flights for two people. My husband and I enjoyed all the beers. Only thing was they could have been colder. Ordered the hummus with pita which was quite good ! Overall good experience we plan to go back!
