Really impressive place to see.

Best pizza around even though all 3 types we got just taste like Crushed Red Pepper

It's a very silly place. Really nice (huge) outdoor space -- great for families, dogs, groups of all kinds. Low-key and comfortable. Definitely 5 stars here. But everything else about it is bizarre: You have to get a wristband and then buy a ticket for a beer and then stand in a 15-20-minute long line to get said beer (for $8.50). You also stand in a different line to get (quite tasty) pizza. Then if you want another beer, you go back and stand in the line again. You can sort of buy a beer for a friend, but because every customer is limited to three beers, it becomes complicated. Meanwhile, lots of breweries offer *some* options other than beer -- like a soft drink. Nope. I could get water though. I asked why they had the ticket system and they said "to prevent a long wait at the bar." Ah...it's not working. In addition, none of this is actually explained when you walk into the sprawling post-corporate space (which is decorated with a cool "rainbow tunnel of beer"); you just wander around and figure it out. There's no service staff of any kind that I could see -- but the prices didn't reflect that reduction in expense. There are food trucks -- delicious but expensive when we were there ($4.50 for grilled corn). They are much faster though. It could be a sweet place, but the system is very silly and needs some work to make it worth the hassle.

Have to buy draft tickets at the front. Only find out later the line is this long…Not a great customer experience.
