This modern microbrewery has rural views and an excellent range of authentic beers, including a wheat beer with coriander and mandarin, and a hop-fuelled India pale ale (IPA). Our favourite is the refreshing German-style kölsch. Look for regular seasonal special brews and settle in with a pizza on the deck. On Friday nights it's open late.
