Stumbled on this place today and what an amazing find. The beers are fresh and delicious. Food is out of this world. A wide variety, but a lot of Asian influenced dishes that are absolutely delicious. And the service was fantastic.

Server was great! Talkative, explained the menu, suggested beers, etc. Beer was good and cold. Will definitely come back.
They should join the Hop Passport program next year!

This place has it all. Good food, service, and atmosphere.. plus craft beer. First thing we noticed was how cool the tables are that we sat at. Not sure how they made them but we really liked them. The beer selection is good and they're so helpful in picking out the right beer / cider for you. The food was incredible; we had chicken ramen and bao buns with chicken. I'd definitely come back if I'm back in town.

Such a great brewery and ambiance. Our server was great and gave us amazing suggestion - including their special of the day. Drove from Naples to St Augustine so this was a great half-point when avoiding the I-4 nonsense. Food was so good, their sandwiches highly recommend!

I can’t say enough about this place. Originally, it was initially suggested we go by a colleague at work. We headed down on a weekend, and did have trouble finding parking. After several rounds through the street, we decided to park in the free parking garage one block away. The parking was not full and easy to park in, and at no additional charge.
We walked into the front door and I realized quickly why the place was such a big hit. They had individuals standing and willing to wait for a table as we watch the food and beer be delivered to tables. We got a good idea of what we were gonna order when we sat down. We did get a table within minutes of walking through the door when a large group was getting up to head out. It was around 2pm or so.
We were greeted by our waitress and taking a look at the special bruise on the wall. I went with a tactical melancholy, and my husband went with the coconut. Both were amazing, the tactical melancholy tasted like a watermelon starburst. Not like a beer at all.
We ordered the bow buns to start, they were absolutely phenomenal with the pork belly. There were three of them, and I probably could’ve eaten 50 to be honest. We ordered our food and it came out within 15 minutes.
My husband ordered the Ramen with broth and I ended up with the Ramen minus the broth. The portion sizes are perfect! I lived in Japan for several years and it was just as good as anything that I had ever gotten served at a noodle bar there. It easily could go for twice the amount of money they are asking for it.
The service was amazing, we had a very friendly waitress. The place is clean, I did not use the restroom so I cannot speak to the condition of that. It’s not too loud, it’s not really bright and the music is not intrusive. It is an absolutely amazing place to go, we saw families, other couples and even a few people hanging out at the bar just for a quick brew.
In my overall review, five stars is not enough. It was absolutely amazing, we had a great time. Filled our bellies and paid a reasonable price. I highly recommend going and trying this place. We are headed back down there again today, because they are closed Sunday and Monday, but we’re excited to have our second meal and try something new.
