"New owner was very friendly and hospitable. He even brought us a bowl of popcorn as we sat down. Looking forward to their completed transition, as the place seems dingy and poorly lit. The menagerie of sofas and mirrors makes the place look like a garage sale or indoor flea market. Sofas are ok, but they should be nice, clean, and possibly match each other. It looks like things were just thrown in there, haphazardly, hoping they would stick. Honestly, for a space that has only been open for 4 years, it seems rundown. I see the positive changes in the front room with the fresh paint. I do like the new theme and I think they will do great things with it. As for the beer, it leaves much to be desired. I liked the pineapple one, but all of the rest were hard to drink. The Cape Haze I couldn't even finish and left more than half a taster, which is something I rarely do. I haven't written them off yet, as I will give them more time to transition to their whale/ocean theme and possibly tweak their brews a bit. The new owner did say there was a lot of work to be done, so I'm hopeful they will turn it into a nice taproom. When that time comes, if warranted, I will come back and change my review. 👍🏼 on the friendly staff/owner and the logo, but the rest needs attention.
Edited to add after a private message from the owner's father: I will not be returning to this brewery to see what great changes they will make, even though I was looking forward to doing so. I have also lowered my rating to a 1 star. Can I get a refund on the 2 shirts I bought? Looks like they'll become gardening shirts, as I will no longer wear them in public.
Please learn how to handle constructive criticism and not try to bash someone else's profession as a knee-jerk response. Best of luck to you in the future."
