Double Branch Brewing Bites

I have driven down to the brewery on separate occasions after checking their hours of operation online and they’re closed! Come on management, do your job and update google!

We came here because the website showed there was trivia. When we arrived, we asked the girl working, and she clearly had no idea what I was talking about. It would be great if the website was updated.The girl working truly looks like she hates her job. She was not friendly and not helpful at all. We had one beer, and my bf took the glasses up to order another round, but before he could say anything, she asked if we were done. I don't recall seeing her smile or be pleasant to a single customer.Can't say we'll be rushing to return, but the beer was good.

I used to really like Double Branch, both the beer and the food--but it seems like they've just lost the plot recently.Throughout the last year (the first half of 2023), their food menu became sharply reduced, then disappeared entirely. They've literally walled off the space where the kitchen used to be. The new wall is completely bare, which just makes the brewery feel that much more like a warehouse. This is bad enough, because they had great food.But you come to a brewery for beer, right? Well, the last three times I've been in, the beer just...wasn't very good. I don't know what's going on, but these are regular IPAs that, at least in two cases (Need a Minute and Rye Speed Low Drag), I know I've had here before and can recognize the flavors are off. I had it again on visit three with the Hazy Florida Morning. There's an underlying unpleasant funk. Is the beer just not fresh? Do the tap lines need cleaning? Whatever it is, it's turning what used to be a sublime experience into a subpar one.If they open a kitchen again, or just start getting in more customers and turning over enough beer that it's more guaranteed to be fresh, I'll probably check back in. Otherwise, they've had three strikes in a row with me.

Excellent craft beer. Lots of room. Walkable from the TJMax etc. Different size glasses so your not stuck with a 16 oz.

Too bad the food place shut down but the coldest beer weve had in a while! And all so delicious!
