What a wonderful place! We ventured to the brewery during a recent stay on Hornby, and I promise if you are reading this you will NOT be disappointed! Great products, especially the Cucumber Lime Seltzer! Try a flight, make a choice on any of the beverages and you will not be disappointed! Even better than the products are the owners, who are two of the nicest people we've ever encountered!
