I absolutely love that as someone living with Coeliac Disease I have somewhere where I can enjoy a night out with friends and family without concern of the cross contamination of non gluten free products.

The place was packed but our table was clean and ready at the booked time. Excellent service and the beers tasted great. The 8 Things food truck provided a great selection of German food for the Oktoberfest event. We'll done Method Brewing on being such a professionally run venue.
