Great drinks. Really good food trucks and good cupcakes

Not my first time at Black Lung, but first review. Today the beer was decent, however the ambiance was seriously lacking in depth. When I go to a brewery I enjoy smelling wort, hops and grains, while I appreciate it is clean I don’t want enjoy the heavy scent of chemicals and cleaning detergents. Second issue is the music, there’s an online jukebox however the default music was awful and annoying. I could not wait to finish my beer and leave to give my nose and ears a reprieve.

Great spot that’s dog friendly inside and outside. You can tell they really care about their beer as everything is fanstastic.

Great beers and easily the most entertaining brewery around - there's always something going on up there... trivia, live music, bingo

Good selection of beers as well as some ciders and meads which gives everyone a chance to enjoy something. Food at the Round Lake Beach location is available at the Pizza place in the same plaza who will bring your food to you at the bar. Loved going on DJ Bingo nights, Jesse is the best!! She provides a great welcoming atmosphere and knows how to take care of you. All around great spot to go to.

Stopped in specifically for the Oktoberfest beers they had on tap. Both were good. The place has a Foosball table, but it's been years since I've played.

Haven't had a beer here that I didn't like. Great atmosphere, great events, and if you're lucky enough to have Adrian as your 'tender, you're going to have a great time.

This was a neat place to get an after dinner drink. It was a Thursday night and they had some live music going. I tried the Riot Rye Stout. It was thick, intense, sweet, with big coffee and chocolate flavors. It was exactly what I wanted. It is a sipping beer as it's cask conditioned which bumps up the alcohol volume, and concentrates the flavors. Luckily the person tending the bar explained all of this to me so I knew what to expect. That sort of information is always appreciated since I ordered the stout blindly. The patrons there were all very friendly and fun to have around. Overall it is a very fun place to be for some good beers, mead, booze, and conversation. They have several TV's and the Bears game was on to add to the fun.
