Notes

Visited: October 6, 2008

Opened: 1990

Annual Production: 800 bbl

Contributors: Diane Crawford, stephen wyman

Just like with Buffalo Bill's, you can forget all the nasty things you've heard about this place. Far from the rancid swill they used to produce, their ales are big and tasty, and the food is hearty enough to soak it all up. Well worth the drive through the trees to get there!
