The Very Nice Brewing Company

This place is great good fun.  We are so glad it opened.  Always worth the drive up the Canyon.  The reasons:

1)  The beer.  The beers range from very good to excellent.  We've been told that the owners are fairly new to the brewing game (don't know if this is true or not), but if they are, then we are doubly/triply impressed that they've created such good brews right off the bat.  First time you visit, order a flight of the offerings, so that you can sample them all and then decide which is/are your favorite(s).

2)  Bring your own food.  Love this aspect!  VNBC doesn't serve food, but the place is very happy to have you bring your own food to accompany the beers.

3)  Music.  The place offers live music on a fairly regular basis.  Nothing much better than good beer and good music in a relaxed environment.

4)  The sum total experience.  We love sitting at one of the tables, eating our tasty vittles, while sipping delicious beer as a band plays live and mountain breezes waft through the open doors.  Ahhhhhh.....

Very good beer. Super friendly people. The allow/encourage outside food. Even though it's a brewery, it's family friendly. The place is clean and bright and open. There is pinball as well as table games, like checkers and chess. One night we were in and there was a live bluegrass group playing. We have definitely made this a regular place on the weekends.

This place serves great beers and you'll most likely get to talk to one of the owners (a sweet couple) while enjoying your brew at the bar. The growlers they sell rock - they don't spill and will keep your brew fresh longer than the traditional growlers.
The atmosphere could be a little cozier, but this may come over time (the place is still very new). The room was kind of cold the couple of times I went (patrons kept winter jackets and hats on), and the picnic benches just don't do it for me, but other than that it's a great place to enjoy some beers!
