The addition of live entertainment, offered several nights per week during the summer and fall seasons, has made this brewery an even more compelling destination. The intimate stage area features local duos and solo singers performing classic and original folk, jazz and Americana type music. The result is a choice setting for hearing and enjoying some of the best performers in the region.
