Proof Brewing Company

Proof is a small brewery/bar, but when I saw those pictures of growlers, as well as a fairly comprehensive list of house beers on Ratebeer and Beer Advocate, I started to get a little excited. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.

It's a perfectly pleasant place to partake. Spacious and clean, young crowd. I'd call the selection here decent, but something was missing. I was looking forward to trying the house brews, but they only had ONE on tap. Come on, if you're a brewery, even a tiny one like this, you have to have more than one of your beers on tap. As it stood, it was a competent pale ale, but the lack of other Proof beers was a bit of a letdown. Hopefully, this was a rare oversight, or me just hitting the bar on the wrong day.

Every Wednesday at 8pm Proof has brewers sponsor glassware giveaways!!

Additionally, they're expanding their inhouse brewery all the time. These guys are doing great things in a shitty city

When I first came to Tallahassee, I didn't know anyone here. Not a soul. I was building my life and social network from scratch.

I live nearby Proof and would go down 2-3 times a week, just making friends and getting to know my new environment. The bartenders were (still are) extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating in a time where I had no idea what I was doing, in life or in beer.

Since that time, my tastes in beer have swelled, I am way more adventurous with beers, wines, ciders, and liquors, and I've learned a lot about brewing.

I may not be able to go out much anymore due to my busy work schedule, but I still love Proof and all the friends I made this last year.

5 stars, for excellent service, amazing beers, and awesome memories.
