Five second Description:  This is a barn turned into a very cool brewery.  The were getting ready to grow hops and add on a back deck to the barn when I visited.  Great beers across the board and fantastic movie references for all their beers which makes for a great trivia contest.

Why you should go: Authentic place that is real cozy and cool with great beers.

Signature Beer: What is Up is Down

Five second Description:  Lively strip mall brewery that has a few of the ingredients, but is missing the boat.  The flights are cool since they are made from barrels, but the beer could be improved..  No food options that I could tell.

Why you should go: OK hangout for the area and the staff is very friendly. too!
