Amazing local brewery just 7 blocks from our guest house. Use our tandem bike, walk, or drive. This brewery was an old ice house in the early 1900's and they used the existing groundwater well that made the ice to now make their beer. Excellent outdoor space for families and all to enjoy when the weather is nice.
