I'll stop by, but it won't be until 4:30 or a little after.

Do they have any of their beers on tap, yet?

It was busy, but not swamped, there was almost always a table or two available. We were there from about 3 til 7, so it was across prime dinner hour. Solon football is away tonight, so that might help with the crowd, but I would anticipate a very busy weekend for them .

I thought it was pretty good. As Kent said, they only have two of their own beers on tap, a wheat and an IPA. I had the IPA and thought it was pretty good, especially for a first batch. The food was excellent.

I'll probably stop by again, but for just a pint, then gotta get home.  I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but they are doing the 2 for 1 happy hour like Red's

Can’t make it tonight, I’m hoping to stop down there Sunday or Monday. Let me know if anyone else is planning on heading down this weekend.
