Legitimately a 5 star brewery. Open on a Monday, very inviting space with lifted garage doors/cool art, and dog friendly! The beers are really unique!

five star review by Conor B:
By far one of the best brewery additions to this area. Me and my fiance head over there multiple times a week. Staff is always super friendly and they are all really cool to talk to as well. Beer menu is never ending and they have something for everyone.
