Good beer, good vibes! Love the team here and love posting up for awesome brews. So many fun events here as well!

So this review is more for the Out of Space/Temperance events rather than the brewery/tap room per se, although I'm also not a fan of that. First, if you want to charge $50/head and bring in nationally know acts, please provide a professional sound system. The sound during the Neko Case show might have been the worst I've heard in 40+ years. I don't know how much was the venue and how much the band's sound guy, but since Space often has atrocious sound problems I assume it's at least partly on the venue. Really, entire instruments would just disappear for 30 seconds and then reappear at twice the volume in the middle of the same song. I was standing near the board and people kept yelling at the sound guy trying to explain that no one could hear. All to no avail. But more to the point, what's the purpose of having a show at a brewery if you only provide cans of your beer? It's one thing to pay festival prices for food and draft beer, but $8+tax+tip for a can of Temperance's mediocre brew (with only, what, three choices?) is pretty offensive. At least we didn't have to buy the cans from the regular Temperance staff, who usually act like caricatures beamed in from a scene from High Fidelity. Sigh. Temperance is a waste of a beautiful building and OoS is a waste of good musicians. Updated: A certain amount is forgiven because of the good quality of the sound at the KRS-One show. So maybe it was the band's guy's fault. The review is now purely for the brewery, which is a solid 3 stars.

Wide selection of quality beers. Great bartender. Mellow surroundings indoors or on patio. Highly recommend. Popular around Oktoberfest!
