Great food. Great service. Great setting. I really enjoy this place! Love the chips stacked.

Interesting small mountain brewery. Extremely potent beer if you're not interested in taste

Service is always great. Great atmosphere. We've been there a few times now. The wings are tasty. We went for brunch this last time and I had an omelette and the wife got a burger. Both were delicious! Highly recommend

This brewery is in a small town of Bayfield, in what looks like the downtown area. We sat outside on the patio. It was a beautiful day. The hostess sat us right away, brought us waters, and then our waitress came to get our drink order quickly. I had a Deluxe margarita and my partner ordered a beer. both were delicious! I was so happy to be able to order a delicious margarita at a brewery. For dinner, I ordered the Bomber, which is a pulled port sandwich with peach chutney. For my sides, I ordered mac and cheese and a house salad. Everything was so tasty!! My partner ordered the BSB Dip, which is a beef brisket, with horseradish and dip. along with a salad. He really enjoyed that sandwich. Food was fantastic; service was friendly and quick; and the patio was so nice.

This is a hidden gem in Bayfield! Amazing food! Seriously the fish and chips are incredible! Brisket dip is the best I have ever had! Must stop to enjoy great food, great service and nice patio. .

What a great lunch spot. We sat outside under a huge shade tree and even enjoyed conversation with some others seated out there. The beer offerings were diverse amd our meals were served quickly and were hot. Husband had a split order of wings - half hot and half sweet chili. He couldn't finish them but wanted to. My brisket was very tasty. The fries are fresh cut and it doesn't look like a lot but there were plenty.
