Presidential Brewing Company has its roots with a father and his 3 grown sons gathering together to home brew a new beer ever week - simply named, New Beer Friday. Over the years, New Beer Fridays grew and one of the evenings the family joked about naming their beers after US Presidents, hence Presidential Brewing was born.

The beer names are all related to US politics with a beer spin on it - and hilarious!

The beer names involve cheeky humor and are deliciously punny. Names are mostly of former Presidents and their wife’s such as Dill Clinton and Crancy Reagan. Although there are some beers named after hot-button political issues like Fake Brews. Some of the names are bound to crack you up!

The menu features a number of options! I loved how they offer a creative number of tot skillets. But burgers and other handhelds are also available. There are also gluten-free, dairy-free, and/or meat-free substitutions available for all items. Pictured is the Buffalo chicken tot skillet and mushroom Swiss burger.

Inside the brewery, you can seat yourself. Most of the tables are long tables with communal seating. The goal of this is for people to set down their phones and talk to each other. If you love your experience, merchandise is available for sale along the wall by the entrance.

You can also buy a tag for a Veteran who can then use a tag to redeem for a free beer.

Enter the beer garden through the brewery inside. Outside there is a stage, seating, fire pits, and when it’s busy, a second bar outdoors serving just beer. Just in front of the stage is a large American flag which is also where people can gather to dance during performances, if anyone feels so inclined.

To play mini golf, let your server know and she’ll add it right to your tab. Before heading out, order another beer to play with - there are cup holders at each hole! The putters are located where the course starts and balls are provided by the wait staff.
