OFFERS A ONE-OF-A-KIND DINING
EXPERIENCE.
BIG LAKE BREWING IS ON 7TH

WE TRIED TO PAY HOMAGE TO THE
BIG LAKE.
OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE CRAFT FOOD.
WE HAVE WONDERFUL LOADED
TOTS,
BURGERS, PIZZAS, WE DO LOTS OF
DIFFERENT THINGS FOR OUR MEALS.
OUR GUESTS REALLY ENJOY
THEMSELVES.
THE BUILDING WE ARE IN IS A
90-YEAR-OLD FOUNDRY THAT HAS
BEEN RENOVATED.
WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PATIO
OUTSIDE AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND
ME.
WE ENJOY MAKING OUR CUSTOMERS
FEEL AT HOME.
THE PATIO WE TRIED TO MAKE MORE
LANDSCAPE THAN MOST.
WE WANTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS
YOUR BACKYARD.
WE HAVE TABLES WITH UMBRELLAS.
WE HAVE FIRE PITS WE USE AT
NIGHT.
WE COULD USE IT MORE MONTHS OUT
OF THE YEAR.
WHEN IT STARTS TO GET A LITTLE
DARKER EARLIER WE STILL HAVE
LIGHT OUT HERE.
WE HAVE A FULL MENU OUT HERE
WITH FOOD AND BEER.
OUR BEERS ARE VERY UNIQUE AND
DIFFERENT.
WE DO A LOT OF HAZY IPAS.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN
DOING SINCE WE MOVED TO OUR NEW
BUILDING ABOUT 2.5 YEARS AGO.
BRIGHT ORANGE IS OUR NUMBER ONE
SELLING HAZY IPA.
IT COULD BE
FOUND
THROUGHOUT THE STA.
OUR BREWERS ARE VERY INNOVATIVE.
THEY COME UP WITH NEW BEERS
ALMOST WEEKLY.
WE HAVE 26 BEERS ON TAP.

FLIGHT IS A GREAT OPTION.
YOU COULD GET SIX DIFFERENT
BEERS.
IT GIVES YOU A WIDE SELECTION.
YOU COULD GET STOUTS, HAZY, OR
CLEAR.
OUR SELECTION IS VERY UNIQUE.
KIND OF LIKE SOMETHING YOU WOULD
GET AT THE GAS STATION SLURPEE
BUT IT IS MADE WITH BEER AND A
LITTLE FLAVORING.
PEOPLE FEEL AT HOME, THEY FEEL
COMFORTABLE.
THEY GET A GREAT MEAL AND HAVE
WONDERFUL BEERS.
THE TRI-FLIGHT OF SIX BEERS, ALL
OF THE DIFFERENT STYLES.
THEY HAVE FUN, IT IS A FUN
ATMOSPHERE, VERY CASUAL.
THAT IS WHY THINK PEOPLE LOVE US
SO MUCH.
