Notch Brewery & Tap Room - Brighton

As others have already said staff here is great and beer is very well done. Some of the smoked beers are my go to. Very interesting location and outdoor space is dog friendly.

“Manager was very rude. Was very upset because customer did now say please”

The Sticke Alt and Helles Special were brewed excellently.

Staff here are rude, almost always and unprompted. Beer is great. Lots of outdoor seating in the warmer months.

They had all Czech/German style beers with low ABV’s available in 1/2 or full liters, just a heads up if that’s not the style you look for. The beer was decent. The style of the place was cool with all the wood but also kind of plain. Might be better when the outdoor seating is available but it felt cramped inside. When my GF and I walked up to the bar the first bar staff glanced us over and walked away, the bar area was almost empty at that time and had to get the attention of another staff at the other end. We never really got that welcoming and social vibe you get at most other breweries.

I can't say enough good things about this brewery. The staff was incredibly hospitable and knowledgable. Some of the best lagers I have ever tasted, which is not to be taken lightly given their difficulty to perfect. Next time I make my way up from NJ this is at the top of my list, cheers!
