Went for the happy hour so my partner and I could each try their FR Flight. It was super good I loved nearly all the beers in the flight as did my partner. We were interested in seeing their brewery in the back and they allowed us to look up close. Service was great ambience was chill as we went around 4:30 on a Wednesday. The short ribs are SO yummy. Recommend those as well as the chorizo small plate. Excellent job.

Curling was a ton of fun, the instructor gave us some guidance and we hammered away. We did the bacon board and and pretzel apps both were good, with the bacon being the clear winner. Good beer selections and attentive staff.
