Cons:

• "Well, we were turned away because our 42 year old guest from India didn't bring in his passport and they wouldn't accept his driver's license (or a copy of his passport) as an ID."
• "Their policy of demanding ID for every drink sold means I can't buy my friends a drink and is both stupid and demeaning."
• "The owners posted a video for selling 'cases' of beer for $5. You could start ordering at 9 am this morning. Well, there was nothing on their website directing you to buy 'cases'."
• "Came all the way from jersey to try the beers, was told I couldn’t go in with sealed beers from other breweries in the area."
• "The tour wasn't a tour at all but a talk in the brew area of how they started and make beer. Pretty disappointing."
• "A visibly intoxicated staff member, Samantha, started clapping in our faces and yelling we had to go."
• "The dismissive manner in how they treat their patron is just not ok."
