Review from Google · view on GoogleWe just had the most amazing experience at trippin animals!! Limonada rosada has been my favorite beer for a long time and we decided to make the trip to try out other sours we don't have access to. Our bartender, Eli, was absolutely incredible, he introduced us to new sours we never tried and kept us laughing the entire time. He was the absolute best! The vibe here was so chill and perfect, I wished we lived closer, we would be regulars for sure. We also tried their food which was equally as great, the turkey brie apple sandwich was so good. If you love sours, you will love this brewery, I haven't tasted a sour I didn't like. They aren't too sweet with just the perfect amount of sour and so much flavor. Well worth the 3 hour trip to come here, we will be back!! Thank you for the great beer and hospitality!! We love you trippin' animals! ❤️❤️❤️🦩🦩🦩
