Just tried the hammer of the Gods beer , even better than the Big Head Pale Ale . IPA lovers will love this! Plus the 8.5% is an added bonus ;-P

Steve ‘Pudgy’ De Rose

This was 1st brewpub to open in Lake County , IL. Brewmaster Greg Browne puts out consistent beers in a spectrum of styles. Amber Ale 12-oz. cans now in stores. Venue moving across Church St. in 2013.

Dan Carlascio

Tried the healthy route of hummus w veggies and the turkey burger . Both were good portions, solid and filling. Not a lot of healthy options but you wont starve if you stay on the light side.

Cherri Pierangeli Kasdorf

Nice outdoor eating when weather permits. Nice menu, good food and friendly staff . Live music , too!

Brian F

You can get the beer in 1/6 barrels for home use! Great deal!

Kevin

Big head pale ale is a great local brew . Hoppy enough for the IPA lovers and mild/fruity enough for the adventurer wanting to try something new!

John McClain

Pineapple Express DIPA & Smoked Brisket are delicious! The Irish egg rolls are a treat as well .

Jimmy Harnden

Mickey's patty melt might be the best thing I've ever had in my mouth (that's what she said). Also delicious beers .

The Beer nuggets with cheese is a little pillow of heaven :) love this place. I come here all the time to see bands Trash Martini Rules :)

I wonder when they will get their full menu back since they moved to the new location. The ribs were really good previously.
