Benford Brewing

8 taps brewed on-site; this is not your average tasting room. Seating is almost exclusively outside, and beer is served in plastic cups.

The drive is pretty far down some country roads, and walking up, it was unclear where to go. On the left is the tasting room, but people were sitting in front of it facing out, which made it feel closed off. Someone offered that that was the way to beer, so I entered but still didn’t feel I was in the right place. It really felt like being at a friend’s house, but a friend you don’t know. Odd.

There’s a merch area with some surprisingly expensive items for the setting. Then in the back a simple table serving as a bar. Standing right at it I still wasn’t sure it was the place to get a beer when the predominant menu I saw was for local meats. There are actually 8 taps, but the beer was not particularly cold.

There was a cooler with some cans also available. A nice bottle collection and coffee equipment was also observed. Parking was in the grass off the driveway as you enter. Some kind of yard sale flea market things was happening as there were a couple of tables with odd books and toys.
