I really wanted to like this place. It’s a woman run gluten-free taproom. My experience wasn’t great. they allow outside food in—gluten containing and all— which I guess is whatever since they don’t serve food. What REALLY got me is the bartender who indicated she owns the place… she doesn’t believe (??) in celiac testing. She’s making gluten free beer because she doesn’t see other people doing it??? The conversation was off putting to me as someone who super struggles with navigating glutenfull spaces

Hi, thanks for your review. I do however believe that the conversation was misheard or similar as I literally just got an endoscopy for Celiac testing last week! I wholeheartedly believe in Celiac testing and would never say otherwise. I’ve been talking about the procedure with people quite frequently lately, which is why I think that was either misheard or misunderstood. Also, as our website states, we are still in the soft opening stage until April 6th, when our food program is up and running and will be an entirely GF facility. For the time being, we are letting outside food in until our grand opening in a few weeks.
