Always a fun time at True Story. Don't miss the jazz nights! It's a great neighborhood brewpub serving up tasty crazy beer and solid pub food. They're always hosting various music genres, community events, and general good vibes. Get the Sacre Bru if it's available.

Bad experience. Kids were excited about hot dogs and went in thinking wife and I would try some new beer. 2:40 pm so been open for a little bit. When I asked for a menu he said they’re not really serving food, while setting down food for a customer at the bar. Could tell he wasn’t excited we were there, in so we walked out.

It looks like an old-school neighborhood dive bar. Small, in a strip mall, with a cooler full of Coors, PBR & Guinness.
Their draft beer offerings include three of their own plus seven guest taps today, 2 from Edmund's Oast in Charleston, SC (been there). They also have a full liquor license for the non-beer people.
The people are friendly, staff and customers. Talked for two hours with the brewmaster and a local phys ed teacher about cars and beer, etc.
The house made saison and pale ale were tasty and on style.
The chili cheese & onion hotdog I had for a late lunch was good too. I also got a club wrap to go for dinner.

got a real hassle at the door last time i tried to go to a show, they wouldn't take cards, only venmo. there was nobody in line but the person at the door was being a real pain about how long it was taking me to recover access to my venmo account to pay, as i had forgotten my password. t's not like i was in anybody's way. after a couple of moments of continuous nagging from the door person while i tried to recover access to my venmo account, i decided to spend my money elsewhere. there is no need to go out of your way to nag people the entire time they're trying to pay you. rude.

I had a GREAT time at this place! Everyone is nice all around, from staff to other customers. I was able to try their porter, their saison and the double IPA, I think these are the best craft beers I’ve ever tried. Craig definitely pours his everything into his brews, had the pleasure of talking to him for a while during my first visit.
I definitely recommend trying the beef tacos, they’re delicious!
The area feels cozy and relaxed, perfect for a couple of pints after work. The back area has a great setting for a birthday bash.
I would like to say I don’t recommend this place just cause I don’t want anyone else finding about it(haha)! But it’d be a disservice as a customer, if you come to this place you’re in for a treat! You’ll definitely enjoy your time in there!

Tiny, friendly nano brewery serving on-location brewed beers, rotating guest brews, and delicious tacos. If you like honest beer served in a pint glass filled to the brim in a welcoming atmosphere this is your place. Vegetarian taco was a very pleasant surprise. Deep flavors, with fresh Pico de Gallo that woke my palate.

I’ve been meaning to go here for years. It was worth the wait. I went during the lunch hour when it was pretty quiet. A number of first timers also came in at the same time. Craig, the Brewmaster, was exceptional and very friendly. It is a welcoming environment and a very eclectic space. I live the artwork.

The Juan Nachos are excellent! Be warned: the 1/2 portion is very generous, so come with an appetite! The Sacre Bru Saison is also excellent. I look forward to coming back on an evening and meeting friends when it is busy. It is in a great shopping center with a Thank You Books and Urban Suburban.
