Small, basic taproom located in an industrial park. The brewery closed in 2020. Matt Lakota, who worked as Head Brewer at Prairie Krafts, was involved in the opening of Liquid Love Brewing, operating out of the same location.
BEER:
Premium Pilsner (3.75) – Medium-bodied lager; nice hop bitterness; smooth and easy to drink.
Standing Tower Vienna Lager (2.50) – Needs to be more malty to be a great Vienna lager.
Oktoberfest (3.50) – Sweet, malty character appropriate for Märzen style; but too thin to be a great Oktoberfest.
1310 Hefeweizen (4.50) – Excellent wheat character; smooth as silk; would be a great “go-to” beer.
Preacher Oatmeal Stout on Nitro (4.25) – Big, roasted character dominates; outstanding stout characteristics.
