Hardywood Park West Creek Brewery & Taproom

Visit Date: 6/17/21 This place is beautiful, huge building, tons of outdoor seating and even an outdoor bar. We went inside at first, then once we got outside never had a need to go back in. Outside setup is: Tables all around a large patio by the bar, tables under an outdoor tent, Adirondacks lined-up along the along the top of the hill overlooking the woods, and even some "private" cabana type seating you can reserve for larger groups. Definitely a cool spot. Beer-wise, they had a decent selection of their stuff. A lot of 10%+ beers on for the hot weather, but that is a small complaint (great deal price-wise as they were doing pretty large pours for not much $ of these barrel aged and boozy gems, just not something I want outside on a hot afternoon necessarily). Was surprised at the smaller # of drafts (just because this place is so massive they could probably have 25+ beers on easily without touching their capacity), but they had some cans available too, so that increased the variety of lagers and hops for the hot weather.

Hugemongus, ginormous, brand new brewery. Place is gigantic. Big bar on the main floor, and apparently one that they sometimes have open upstairs, and one I saw open outside. Bocce courts outside. Decent selection. Might not be worth the drive just to check the place out on its own, but if it's closer than downtown, might as well stop by here. Other breweries nearby in this neck of the woods as well.

This will be a special place for families, groups and singles to enjoy good beer and a well laid out taproom and beer garden. The upstairs bar was less busy than down stairs. They have a concert stage on the first floor. The fermenters you see are 360 barrel. This place has plenty of room to grow. Stop by. Kindred Spirit is just down the road. Two breweries in one night,
