Bidra med feedbackThere are not a lot of choices in Moorepark so we decided to try this micro brewery. It is located a place called Alley. They have a good number of pils, a few dark beer. No food here but across the way is a pizza place. So we got a pizza and some sausages from Fire and Vice pizza place.It is a relaxing place with friends and family just socializing.
This is a fun place to go, the only issue I 've had is walking into this brewery for the first time and not really understanding the Flow of the place. Nobody approached me and said, hey can I help you. I stood at the counter and was not met with help either. That did not change my mind to come here again but it would be nice if the new comers had a better idea of what to do. For example, if you didnt know to go grab food across the way, there is a little bit of a learning curve coming here with your family, which is what we did. We came at Christmas and it was a lot of fun with a large tree in front and the lights were very festive. The beer is great, and the food across the way is OK. Still fun if you want to bring your dogs and have a nice beer and some food with the family.
Disclaimer I am not a beer drinker; that would be Dear Hubby in our family. That being said, we are so impressed with the local juggernaut that Energren is becoming. Their facility takes up a full side of The Alley on Zachary Street. They brew on premises, serving up German style beer in a variety of flavors.They 're also the hub of activities in The Alley, which includes live music every weekend. There are several bar areas inside Energren 's space, with adjacent tables outside in the shared spaces. Their production facilities feature shiny storage tanks and numerous pallets of finished product ready to ship. It 's serious business, with room for fun and festivities. This weekend (4/22 4/23/23), they 're sponsoring Frühlingsfest, a German style spring festival with many activities for the whole family. Based on what we experienced last night, I can imagine that their Oktoberfest would be epic.Festival or no, it 's a great local business offering entertainment and relaxation for the community to enjoy. And lots of beer!
Enegren Brewing Company is the champion of holding stellar events and festivals. I 'll give them that! As a brewery the host a few awesome big events throughout the year and are definitely known to deliver a fun packed day. The layout of Enegren I also like as they have plenty of seating and it 's not stuffy. The alleyway to the brewery has a few shops so it 's nice to grab a beer and to go for a little exploring. This spot has a nice open concept and the atmosphere is welcoming.I appreciate how organized they are for their events. We just came to their spring festival and they went all out. Again, super organized and reasonable prices. You didn 't even have to pay to go in. They sold drink tokens which was smart and easy. The food stalls they also had were wonderful from pretzels to bratwurst. Their events have security hired and it just feels safe. I commend them for holding A+ events and festivals because they are definitely a notch above the rest.The bar staff and event staff are also super nice here. Not pretentious and all good vibes 100%. Felt welcomed and the vibes were right.The reason I dock a star is because genuinely I am not a big fan of their beers. It pains me to write that, as they are a brewery. But I had to agree with some of the other 3-4 star reviews I read about people just not being sold on their beers. I feel the same way. I 've tried at least five different beers from Enegren and I thought they all were just ok . I 've even bought their beers from the supermarket and struggled to get through a pack. I don 't find the flavors to work with my pallet but it 's ironic because I drink all types of beers and don 't feel like I 'm that picky. All in all I 'll continue to support Enegren when they host events and festivals as they do a damn good job. They go all out and provide a fun time. Also, they seem to be very family friendly. This isn 't a selling point for me as a child free millennial LOL BUT it was cool to see so many families enjoyed themselves and feeling comfortable to bring their kids. So If you can 't find a sitter you are A-ok here.
Two six beer flights gave a taste of all the brews, light and dark. Food across the Alley at Fire Vice was super tasty.
