Great little brewery just off the ferry in Clinton. They had a big selection of their own taps (something for everyone). There is a food truck outside for food and they have trivia and other events during the week. I definitely recommend this spot and can’t wait to visit in the summer.

We have been here five times now and I am so impressed by the quality of the beer and food. I’ve tried six or seven different beers and have loved them all. Now they have a food truck. The cook really knows about bratwurst. They’ve done a top-notch job. What a great addition to South Whidbey!

Nice addition to the island. Beer was fresh and the small spot has live music. There is a Bratwurst food truck at the location if you are hungry. There is plenty of parking. Definity worth a stop.
