    Love the vibe & of course the great beers. So far I’ve tried the IPA & pale ale with great satisfaction. I love that they are rotating various food trucks. Jim the brewer obviously knows his craft. This place will be a regular stop. Easy to get here by bicycle.

    First time here to see a friend perform some music. Great vibe from the moment we walked in. We were instantly greeted by Jim who welcomed us and answered our questions about food and drink options. We will definitely be back for other music sessions and for more delicious beer and food!

    5 stars for the beer, service, and conversation! Great setting/space in a historic building. My husband is a home brewer, and he & Jim had a great meeting of the (brewing) minds. Jim was generous with his time and brewing tips. Pizza was okay, but the beers, service and vibe were spot on!

  • 5/5 Buddy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely a place to visit. They had very talented live music that was perfect volume for the atmosphere. The owner and son were very knowledgeable about their beer .I even learned a few things. The people that frequent there are definitely regulars because the owner really engages with the people I felt so welcome and had so much fun as a first timer The pizza is quality and you get it fast I would definitely be returning

    We are impressed with the quality brews here. Our favorite so far, Teacher's Pet Porter. Great pizza, too. We loved the Margarite pizza. Perfect pairing with the porter! Jim is friendly and really knows his beers!!

    Great beer, great location near the edge of downtown Chico, friendly service, the inside isn't huge but there also wasn't much of a wait.
