Full Spectrum (Closed)

Sadly these guys didn’t make it and have shut down as of about August 2018. I’ve not seen why, but suspect location may have been a challenge as it was in a business park away from similar establishments. I enjoyed the beer I had there and thought it was a good space so I’m disappointed to report they are now closed.
