Love this place. It's the local hippy brewery with great beers, awesome menu/food (vegetarian friendly), and just a really fun place to go eat and drink. A bit further away from our place, but worth the trip (it's walkable but suggest driving). Note that it's cash only though they'll give you an envelope to mail them money if you forget.
