Well they've been closed for awhile, which left Fox as the worst in the metro. Not sure who now is in last place. Probably Twisted Vine.
Damn this sucks. Enjoyed going there, having a couple beers and then getting 7 stone. Place always seemed full in the summer. Served as a pseudo waiting room for Barn town lol
I would say Kinship
Kinship does everything well except make an actually tasty beer. I wouldnt water my lawn with some of their shít
That’s understandable, I just don’t care and gonna speak the truth on what’s good beer or not.
I like their Summer Lager and Annie.
Agree non of their beers are ones I really seek out though.
Their location and building are awesome though.
Shocked about Global. Second best place in the metro for beer selection outside of Bait Shop and there really isn’t anything like it out west. They got some obscure and really good taps that no one else had. Only negative was lack of food. Closing 6/29.
I liked the quaint and small atmosphere of Fox but when we went there in April, they still had the same beers from the fall. And only like 8 of them. Creativity and quantity of selection is really important these days and Fox didn’t have either. But congrats to them for making it this long in a fully saturated market.
I went there last summer before seeing top gun. I think i might still be waiting there for someone to acknowledge my presence if my wife didn't want to go to the movie
Yeah I was actually surprised they lasted this long, because you barely heard anyone talk about them.
From what I understand, the owner of Barntown told the property owner that if they allowed Global to open a kitchen, Barntown would move somewhere else, so Global unfortunately had no other choice. Pretty sad, as Global was how I gained my love for craft beer.
Sounds like Global had a choice and the landlord is a ***** for letting a tenant dictate to them what to so.
Hard to believe with how busy Barntown is that they would be scared of a little competition.
Yeah no kidding. I love Barntown. Maybe the best food/beer combination place around.
Of that's true though, that's kinda sad.

Checked out Worth Brewing in Northwood, IA. Nice sized place in a tiny town. Seems to have taken the place of a small town bar, which is cool. Beer was average.
