Awesome burgers and sandwiches. They always draw a big crowd. Small dining room so either be prepared to wait for a table or take it to go. Try their sweet potato fries with blueberry ketchup - it's a side dish and desert all rolled into one.

Drinks & Nightlife
A great space to sit outdoors on the deck and overlook Portage Lake when the weather permits. Indoor lounge area with fireplace. Board and card games encouraged. Late night hang out for local college crowd. They don't serve food but encourage you to support the local delivery restaurants by having your delivery order delivered to the brewery and right to your table - pizza, sandwiches, Chinese, if you can find a restaurant that delivers you are in luck that it will deliver to you at the brewery - no having to send someone chasing for your food. Oh, and did I mention the selection craft beers they have on tap?!? Take a growler to go before you leave at the end of the night.
