“We had an amazing time here! We chatted awhile with the owners (husband and wife and son) they also shared a lot about their process of making and aging. We stayed for a few hours and tried many of their drinks from wine to cider to beer. Their products have a distinct flavor and palate which we love! Their meads aren't super sweet like most but have a big flavor palate and taste. Their blonde beer was great and I normally don't like beer. We will definitely be back and enjoyed our night there!”

“I totally love this place, a St. Charles gem! They have an amazing rotation of craft beer and one of the few places you can get mead. The owners are wonderful and long time St. Charles folk. Just enjoyed a rare supply of Goose Island proprietor beer, available only after black Friday. A must go-to place if you are on main street after dinner.”

“Great environment. Great staff and soooooo many options. I would recommend this to anyone in the area or who is visiting. I had an amazing time. Shawn is the best! Thank you for the experience!”

“Great atmosphere. If you’re looking for unique home-made meads and ciders and a snack (cheese curds) stop by for a friendly welcome and unique wine.”

“Shawn and the staff were super awesome. His cider and wine recommendations were awesome! Definitely coming back!”

“Excellent ciders, meads, and wines. Lots of different beers. Great place to hang out.”

“The best homebrew shop I've found in the area, and it's also a bar!”

“We stopped here on our trip to do the St. Charles brew trail. This was by far my favorite stop on the trail. Super friendly staff, quaint place, decent prices, loved all the great artwork. If you're into brewing your own, they have some supplies. The next time we're in town, we will definitely stop by again.”
