    Great looking place, excellent beer and good folks. The dark farmhouse was really tasty, like a Flemish sour, but less vinegary and more round. The West coast IPA was exactly what I love about the style. Crisp and bitter, with just the right malty backbone. No food - although I believe they welcome food trucks on the weekend.

    Great vibes, great beers, must visit. There are several breweries around Gunwhale and they, along with Green Cheek, are spectacular. At Gunwhale, I’d recommend their Saison’s or non-dark beers. They are fantastic and the beer tenders are always spot on. There is no food so be sure to cross the street to Green Cheek!

    Went with a full group of parents and kids and had a great time. Very nice open space. The DIPA was excellent. The food truck was on point. Very kid and dog friendly. The parking isn’t the easiest.

    Friendly barkeeps, helped educate me on a couple things. Three outstanding brews: 1) Brett Ale. I would drink this every day. 2) Dry Hopped Brett. 3) BBA Imp. Stout is beyond great. 15.3%, so it’s efficient.

    I was not a fan of any of the beers I tasted … I tried like 4 was disappointing because they were trying to be clever with their beers and the staff was nice but better to go across the street to the other breweries next door
