5 /5 josh banks: This place is an absolute gem hidden in southern Illinois. Located in downtown Murphysboro it is an small Irish bar. Owner operator literally has created something special. He makes all his brews which generally are 10 different ones at a time. As the seasons change so does his brews to mark the seasons and that people drink. He designed and made all the furniture and the actual bar itself. Prices are absolutely affordable as well as his 32 oz growlers. He uses his own home grown vegetables in the making of his Jalepeno and Habanero beer. I cannot tell you how awesome and verstile these beers are. Bought a growler each and marinate meat with them for smoking. Fantastic! He made a Belgium beer that rocked. Very rarely can I find a location with flights of beer that I truly like almost all of them, but he nailed this. Cannot wait for fall to go back a drink some of his released scottish ales. 5 stars. When there, talk to him about the beer, he is very knowledgable and friendly!! Will go back everytime I drive through Illinois now!!
