The brewery was rather large, with a large bar in the back, a restaurant in the front, merchandise sold to the right, and the brewery was located behind that. Each area had a different feel, from an English pub to a Renaissance Festival to a warehouse with a bit of tie-dye thrown in.
A fan of coffee and a dark beer drinker, I ordered the Starboard Stout (5.6% ABV), an Irish style oat malt stout which boasted a toasty malt flavor. It was good, but seemed a little dry to me - I like my stouts a bit sweeter. It's pictured with a water and an Angler's Ale (5.4% ABV), which is their English pale ale. We also ordered a side of their ale cheese and crackers, which were pretty good.
If you find yourself near Battle Creek, I recommend stopping in - I'm glad I did.
