This converted barn-brewery has a down-home vibe, and the Coffee Milk Stout tastes damn fine, too. They fill growlers and sell cans and bottles of about a dozen different brews. Family-friendly atmosphere, and you can bring your own food (or buy some of their farm-raised pork and poultry, right in a cooler out front).
