I'm a regular here and it's been a while since I gushed about how much I love it. Great beer obvs. I love that BRI is always rotating taps with interesting new brews in a variety of styles while keeping the old faves - all with really polished flavors. I'm not a person who orders the same menu item every time I visit a place but the Nashville Hot Chicken here is my exception. So spicy and crispy I've gotten it on my last three visits. I also LOVE the chicharrones, and the weekly specials never disappoint. Tunes are always on point. Love that you guys added a kids menu! ❤️ Keep being awesome!

The past two times I’ve come here the food is not fresh at all, it’s been quite cold actually. It’s frustrating because I come here frequently before I go to the movies. Service is great though and everyone is friendly just the quality of the food is not good.

Great beer selection. I enjoyed both IPAs I tried. Do not see as many red IPAs, so that was nice to try and would be ordered again. My cheesesteak was quite tasty and a decent size. The tater tots were very good, although cooked a little too much, with the dry rub they put on them. The meat candy on the nachos should not be called meat candy because of how spicy it was. They cook the bacon in siracha and boy can you tell. Should have went carne asasda and I am sure I would have been happier. I would come back. Nice service.

Great, chill neighborhood bar with fantastic prices. Our server was amazing and the food was great. I only gave 4 stars for the food because the pretzels and cheese were too oily, but I highly recommend the beef sandwich with the French dip. The tater tots were also really good. I had a lager and Pilsner and the beers were also great. We had a fantastic experience and would come back. They also have a dog friendly patio. Bonus, the music was top tier.

Dietary restrictions: Can’t hv salt. Restaurant great about omitting it all food excellent. Service super great. Our server so helpful and knowledgeable about our flights of beer. Beer selection fantastic. My only issue on you fantastic grass fed burgers the buns are not great. Crumble and seem dry.not a great quality If it’s a true brioche must be purveyors brand. No flavor. Avacados are great perfect quality Will return again. Fun place.Parking: Great parking.

Recently bought a four pack of the milk stout morning sex and it was sooo good. Dark and creamy coffee flavor but not an overpowering coffee flavor which was amazing! When I went to open my last can it had an IPA in it! Must have been a mislabeled can. I was so bummed, I had saved it and was looking forward to it. Gave the IPA to my husband and he really liked it.

My favorite local micro brewery. They have a great selection of beer and excellent pub food made by real people, not robots.

We went today, had fish was told we could have fries tator tots or Mac and cheese. When we got our bill we were charged $5?extra for the Mac and cheese and $1 extra for vinegar fries. We were never told there was extra charge. This is so wrong to charge extra on a special without telling the customer! We will never go back! It was over $100 for 3 people!

Found BRI on Google a few weeks ago. This is a nice quieter brewery. I have been two days in a row. Has a very good beer selection. Very impressed with the food. Good pricing on drinks. Will be back for more.

This is one of my favorite breweries in Mesa. They have a good variety of beers and their food is delicious. I've been really enjoying their Loli Belgian Blonde recently. This pour along with a few others are only $4 on Sundays all day happy hour. I love that they offer an all day weekend happy hour. Not only are their beers good but their food is delicious, I usually go with their chicharrones for appetizers and a burger or their green chile Mac and cheese with meat candy for my entree. Everything I've tried here has been good and very fairly priced in my opinion. It's a super relaxed ambiance and they have a small arcade attached to it. There is plenty of parking. Service is friendly and prompt. Definitely give it a go!
