Food Scene

This home town brewery has really expanded in the last few years! We love to go here for a great burger, beer cheese or Mac& Cheese. The food is on the heartier side. Its pretty busy weekend nights but you can easily get a table before 6pm. This is great for lunch and dinner.

For a cozier dinner we suggest heading to the Olde Bryan Inn. Not only a great restaurant but also an old historic inn. We love to come her on cold nights and cozy up by the fire place. They have a great home style menu with personal chef flare.
