Anytime a brewery expands beyond a single location it seems automatic that the quality takes a hit. Over the years they kind of got lapped by other producers in the area (no one touches trailway IMO) but I see them now as more of a "brew pub" with decent beer more like a pumphouse. I dont go to pumphouse for their beer, its ok but I tend to go more for the vibe. Hopefully they can create something unique on the riverfront.
From what I can see online the new owners opened the "540 north" restaurant at the roundhouse and the reviews arent good, but their restaurant downtown seems to have good reviews. I wonder what gives.
