I went to this Kickstarter success for the first time tonight, now about two months since opening day. This is a cool-people place - all hipsters and locals, and they did an excellent job rehabbing the building. It's standing-room only any evening I drive by - very warm and inviting, in fact they are looking to expand as demand has out-paced supply since day-one. The food looked really good too.
I appear to be alone in my opinion that their flagship IPA "Big Jim" and its "American-hopped" style isn't very good. I really wanted to like it, I ordered it twice but found myself making faces at the strange flavors in my glass. The Indeed Haywire (heavy double-IPA) also on tap, seemed a bright, bubbly palate cleanser by comparison. I'll be back though, hundreds of hipsters and locals can't be wrong.

38th and nearly Hiawatha.
Went there last week randomly on a free hour, Had a Big Jim and a pale, the Big Jim which I didn't enjoy last time was pretty good, I must have had some crazy batch. Or maybe I'm a crazy batch, not sure. Pale was ok. The soup was good, should have ordered the bowl. Bartender was friendly and good looking, I'll be back again. ...um, to my gaining-favor near-neighborhood bar. Smokehouse...
