Loved this place! The bartender, Megan, was attentive and friendly and all of the beers I tried were great. The coconut brown ale was my favorite

After stopping by 2 or 3 times over the past couple years, I reluctantly went with friends 2 or 3 more times. Just not a very friendly vibe at all from the employees. Is it me? I never really feel welcome there. It's a shame because the beer is good and the location is prime.

Amazing beer. The head brewer did a class the day we were there, she was awesome. Totally a great experience. I'd recommend this place.

Bob Springer

Delightful and interesting talk tonight on writer and roughneck Jim Tully, whose post-hobo days in Kent unleashed his literary prowess and launched his Hollywood career. Wonderful crowd, too, heard Tully biographers Paul Bauer and Mark Dawidziak. Tap Talk Tuesday's are the bomb.

Can’t comment since we were ignored! Asked about the apple pie slushie then stood there to order 3. Finally took my $24 in business and left. Bye! Won’t be back!

The bartender completely ignores customers. Ended up just leaving and going to another bar.

I’ve been here a handful of times over the last year and half, and the staff is always so kind! The beer of course is delicious. I mean, why go back if it wasn’t? Furthermore the women’s restroom is by far one of the cleanest public restrooms I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I was honestly astonished. So much so that I took pictures. The atmosphere here is great. And they have a parking lot, which is always a win.

Honestly this place was an eyesore for years by the old bridge. This new renovation of the area makes it look so inviting. Amazing staff. Amazing drinks NA and alcoholic. The staff is top notch. A vibe kent needed

One of the hidden gems in Kent. Quaint little place with the best beers around, we've never had a beer we didn't like. Has an almost relaxed "beachy" vibe to the atmosphere. No food but when they have food trucks, they're always great local places that you can get authentic tacos or BBQ from. The playlist is always on point. The beers always have such interesting flavors. Would highly recommend.

Delightful brewery tucked a short walk away from all of the action down on Water Street. Love their rotating selection of beers, cocktails, and slushees. They’re also home to a number of community events and various activities. Small bites available through a local caterer and they will frequently have food trucks on hand in the parking lot.

Actually, the beers are pretty decent, it's the lack of service/friendliness that warrants a 2. The short, curt answers with no smile, almost yelling, but not quite, with no explanations was over the top. While the bartender was alone and busy, I was the only one in line. I can give grace for that, but since I was the only person in line, she could have responded differently. I actually gave her a couple of chances since i do this for a living. I do secret shopping for so many restaurants, so this comes second nature to me. Service can make or break a restaurant, and good beer cannot overcome that.

Nice place to stop for a beer in Kent! They had a Peach Cobbler Tart ale (Mastermind) at the Kent Beer Fest and it won my vote! Be sure to check out their social media page when you go as they have food trucks out frequently. They do not have a kitchen, but you can order from a truck if one is there (and I would assume you can bring food from pretty much anywhere for that matter.)

Beer was amazing. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space.Love that dogs are allowed on the patio. Will definitely return.

Great beer, great service, fun events. Food trucks are fun. They started selling sandwiches which is great. Sometimes have art showings. Games! A good community spot. The run club! Which I am too scared to join.

Fred McCann

I have been to 145 different breweries and I have never had such an unpleasant treatment from the staff. The woman at the bar was the only pleasant person. It’s a shame because the beers are good. The gentleman who was running the show was rude and disrespectful! Probably won’t be going back even though we spent a lot of money while we were there.
