I would say this is the brewery I would recommend people go to. They have a big space, a great variety of beers, and great food.

I had a surprise 70th birthday party for my wife and about 30 people. Tom, the owner, provided a small room with an additional area where we could expand and helped me decide how much food was needed.The staff was fantastic, food and beer tasty, and a fine was had by all!

We visited last night with some friends to celebrate the brewery's two year anniversary. They had a special going on with ten guest stouts on top, so we went specifically for this event. I hadn't visited since April 2022 and was pleasantly surprised to find new offerings including delicious food! Our group ordered multiple items including the tatchos (aka nachos with tater tots instead of chips...yes please), cauliflower 'wings' aka fried cauliflower, and the chicken tenders. I could not believe how good all of it was! The chicken tenders came with one of the best sauces I've ever had, and the cauliflower was the perfect consistency. So many times I've had them overcooked and soggy, but not here!! All of the bartenders and food servers were super nice. Our table didn't have napkins on it, though, so we had to ask the bar for some which was a little strange. I'd think either have them on every table or at least offer them to customers that order food. Not a big deal, of course, just something I noticed. The guest beers were delicious, while their own beers were just okay. There were only five of them on tap because of this event, and I was told that when it is over they will go back to having 15 of their own beers on, so I'd like to visit then to give more of them a try. I do love that you can order a flight so you can try multiple things. They also have some seltzers and N/A options for non-beer and N/A drinkers. I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well, the decor is cute and I also like the large water jug in the corner. They currently do music bingo on Thursday nights so it got a little loud when that started, so we ended our evening shortly after that began. The parking lot in the back seems like a little bit of a free for all which was stressful in leaving as I was nearly parked in from all the bingo customers, so just beware of that if you use the lot!

So much fun! We went for a puzzle competition but we were one person too late! Our own fault. But watching was fun. We each had a beer and enjoyed the giant pretzel and cauliflower wings.

Always delicious food and great beer at Starkweather. Looking forward to all of the great winter events as it starts to get cold and dark!!

Excellent beer, food, service and a place we will surely come back to!

Super vegetarian friendly fried chick peas in a ranch rub were fire. Along with some of the beers I had. Made for a nice end to the day

As long as they don't use starkweather creek as there source of water for brewing beer...

Older bartender on Sunday was standoffish and cold. I hope he wasn’t the owner, if so, I’ll never be back. Good beer and pizza. But most breweries have that too.

This unassuming building hides a chill local bar with a wide range of in-house brews and friendly service. They have a good variety of seating and TVs to catch the game. Also offered is a selction of bar bites and pizza while I wasn't hungry this visit the beers I tried were wort the trip.

This is the worst beer I’ve ever had. I’m having an ipa and it tastes like it’s made with Pennies instead of hops. The other beer styles didn’t match either. And then then the guy is explaining cheese curds?!

Great location, decent warm vibe. Middle of the road beers for my taste, really disliked the pizza.

Nice place to stop in for some beers and food. The servers were friendly and welcoming. The brew their own beer and have a variety of offerings. My husband tried some of their beers and I had a seltzer. We also tried their cheese curds and cauliflower wings with the Sweet Thai Chili Sauce. Both were good, but the cauliflower wings were very good. Good experience.
