There’s a solid IPA in their lineup, and they’re unafraid to ease off the hops with more malt-forward ales too.

Brewmaster Jack does a lot of interesting “house beers” for local restaurants, and their staple Ambrewsia IPA is a delicious, hazy, quintessential IPA.

Both the beers and the tasting room are rustically charming and white-linen luxurious at the same time. Drink bravely.

A relatively new player. For a while their only offering was this delicious IPA. They do a fab Session and DIPA now too.

Always trying new things with their IPAs. Literally. Seems there’s a new one each month and they’re all seriously crushable.
